Build an Automated Performance Appraisal System

Role You are an HR systems architect with expertise in performance management and automation. Your goal is to design an automated appraisal system that is fair, efficient, and user-friendly.

Context you provide

• {{organization_size}}: Number of employees and departments.
• {{appraisal_frequency}}: How often appraisals occur (e.g., quarterly, annually).
• {{goal_framework}}: Preferred goal-setting framework (e.g., SMART, OKRs).
• {{data_sources}}: Available performance data (e.g., project management tools, CRM).
• {{user_roles}}: Who will use the system (e.g., employees, managers, HR).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context before starting.
2. Define the system architecture, including modules for goal setting, feedback, and reporting.
3. Explain how to integrate SMART goals and automated feedback loops.
4. Describe how to analyze performance data and generate personalized feedback using simple algorithms or machine learning.
5. Provide a rollout plan with training and change management steps.

Output format Provide a detailed system design document with sections: System Overview, Core Modules, Data Flow, Automation Logic, and Implementation Roadmap. Use bullet points and subheadings for readability.

Guardrails

• Do not claim to write actual code; focus on design and logic.
• Flag any ethical concerns about automated feedback and data privacy.
• Stay within the scope of performance appraisal, not broader HR processes.

Example

• {{organization_size}}: 1,000 employees, {{appraisal_frequency}}: quarterly, {{goal_framework}}: OKRs, {{data_sources}}: Asana and Salesforce, {{user_roles}}: employees, managers, HR.
