Percival helps you to decide how much you should pay for each employee in a dynamic, collaborative and multidisciplinary team. A fair remuneration is essential for motivation and retention of good professionals.
Percival allows you to make periodic appraisals rounds with the team and, at the end of each round, provides a clear numeric result based on the team's evaluation of each member.
Percival's result shows, based on the compiled opinion of the team, what percentage each person on the team should earn from the total team budget so the manager can make informed decisions about bonuses or salary adjustments.
We recommend that you run an appraisal with Percival at the end of an important project and when the team salary budget change. We also recommend that you do between two and four appraisals per year, depending on the size of the team.
When the admin closes the appraisal, Percival applies a sophisticated algorithm to balance all evaluations and display the fairest result.
Percival does not restrict the size of the team. The only prerequisite is that each person doing the appraisal knows the others involved so the results are accurate.
Percival only keeps public information provided by the Google authentication tool: full name, email and the profile picture, if available.
Percival's interface is very intuitive and straightforward. What is important is that before starting the appraisal process with Percival you make it clear to your team what is going to be done with the results and who will have access to it.
Placing a team member higher means that the collaboration from that person is worth more than the people below. Each level represents a 20% difference.
You can leave as much gap between levels as you want, you can also leave people on the same level if you feel that there isn’t much difference between the value of their work.
Usually, the managers use the results as a data point when they need to review salaries or reduce the team size. We recommend that, when possible, the results should be shared with the team, transparency creates trust.
No, Percival does not limit your appraisal time. However, as each evaluation is so quick a full team appraisal shouldn’t take more than a few days.
We recommend that if your team changes frequently you should always run a Percival appraisal before changing the team.
No, Percival’s price model is based on the number of people on your team regardless of who they are.
If the manager works collaboratively with the team he/she can be part of the appraisal process and their evaluations are going to have the same value as any other person on the team.
At the moment each person can only participate on one appraisal process at a time. We are working to change this limitation.
