Manage Performance Coaching metrics and behaviors

IMPORTANT   Performance Coaching is not currently available for purchase.

On the Metric Administration page, you can configure the options that are available to people who create coaching sessions.

Whenever a new evaluation form is created, Workforce Optimization automatically moves it into Performance Coaching as a metric. The form’s sections appear as behaviors, and the form’s questions appear as sub-behaviors. If you need to change any of this information for Performance Coaching, you do that here.

NOTE   Changes to metrics, behaviors, or sub-behaviors affect Performance Coaching only. They do not affect the evaluation form itself.

Prerequisites

  • Your organization uses Provider Quality Management and Performance Coaching.
  • You have the Performance Administrator permission.
  • You are using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Performance Coaching is not supported in other browsers.

By default, the goal score for a metric is the score on the evaluation form that marks the “Exceeds Expectations” band range. Follow these steps to set a different score as the goal.

Performance Coaching applies the new goal score to all evaluations completed in the current month. If you change a goal score multiple times in the same month, Performance Coaching uses the most recent goal score for the entire month.

  2. In the Details section, replace the number in the Goal field.
