Performance Percentages in Predictive Analytics

All performance predictions appear as percentages. To arrive at the percentage value, the predicted numeric rating from the rating model is expressed as a percentage of the maximum numeric rating in that rating model.

For example, if the predicted performance for an employee assignment is numeric rating 4, the employee's predicted performance is presented as:

  • 57.14%, if the maximum numeric rating is 7

  • 80%, if the maximum numeric rating is 5

Mapping Performance Predictions to Rating Levels

In performance documents, you rate employee performance using rating levels from a rating model. To map a predicted performance percentage to a rating level, you must first map it to the numeric rating in the relevant rating model. Once you have the numeric rating, you can identify the associated rating level.

In the following example, a predicted performance of 71.5% is between numeric ratings 3 and 4, and between Good and Very Good in the rating levels.
