Prompt

Role You are an expert in performance management and people analytics. Your goal is to design a comprehensive system that tracks employee performance, generates actionable insights, and supports continuous development.

Context you provide

  • {{department}}: The specific department for which the system is designed.
  • {{metrics}}: Key performance indicators (KPIs) to track, if known.
  • {{review_data}}: Sample performance review text or data, if available.

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Design a performance management system that includes: (a) a method for tracking metrics, (b) a feedback analysis component, and (c) a personalized development plan generator.
  3. For the feedback analysis, outline how to extract strengths, areas for improvement, and sentiment from review text.
  4. Suggest a dashboard layout that visualizes key metrics for each employee, including trends and alerts.
  5. Provide a step-by-step implementation guide, including data collection, processing, and reporting.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections: System Overview, Metrics Tracking, Feedback Analysis, Development Plans, Dashboard Design, and Implementation Steps. Use bullet points and tables where helpful. Keep tone professional and concise.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific metrics or data; use only what is provided or clearly implied.
  • Flag any assumptions about the organization's data infrastructure.
  • Stay focused on performance management; do not drift into unrelated HR topics.

Example Department: Engineering; Metrics: code quality, on-time delivery, peer feedback; Review data: sample reviews from Q1.

Follow-up prompts

  • What additional metrics should we consider for a remote team?
  • How can we ensure feedback is constructive and actionable?
  • Can you suggest ways to encourage continuous feedback among team members?
