Example: Calibration nBox Placement

Example: Calibration nBox Placement

This example illustrates 1 way to calibrate employees in an nBox report.
Bill, a manager, calibrates the performance and potential ratings for his 2 employees, Maria and Robert. Their initial ratings are:
  • Maria: Performance = 4, Potential = Medium.
  • Robert: Performance = 2, Potential = Low.
The nBox view has a 3 x 3 grid with performance on the vertical axis and potential on the horizontal axis.
  1. Glenn, the HR partner, creates the calibration program mapping performance ratings to rows (the vertical axis) as:
    • 1-2 to the bottom row.
    • 3 to the middle row.
    • 4-5 to the top row.
  2. The calibration program maps potential ratings to columns (the horizontal axis) as:
    • Low to the left column.
    • Medium to the middle column.
    • High to the right column.
    This places Maria in the top center box and Robert in the bottom left box.
  3. During calibration, Bill keeps Maria in the same box, but moves Robert to the bottom center box to indicate higher potential.
Based on the mappings defined in the calibration nBox report, Maria's performance and potential ratings remain the same. Robert's performance rating stays the same, but the potential rating changes to Medium after the controller submits calibration.
