FAQs

1) What does the overall weighted score mean?

It combines all KPI achievement scores after applying your selected weights. A score of 100 means your overall people performance met target. Above 100 means you exceeded target overall, while below 100 signals underperformance against your chosen plan.

2) Why are some metrics treated as lower-is-better?

Turnover, absenteeism, and time to fill usually improve when they decline. The calculator flips the scoring logic for those measures so a lower actual value can still generate a stronger achievement score.

3) Can I change the KPI weights?

Yes. Weights are fully editable. Use larger weights for the metrics most important to your people strategy. The tool automatically normalizes all weights, so they do not need to add up to exactly 100.

4) Which reporting period should I use?

You can use monthly, quarterly, or annual data. The most useful approach is consistency. Keep the same reporting cadence and definitions each period so your scorecard can show clean operational trends.

5) Why is achievement score capped at 150?

The cap prevents one unusually strong KPI from overpowering the rest of the scorecard. It keeps the summary balanced and makes the final weighted score more useful for management reviews.

6) Does revenue per employee need profit data?

No. This calculator uses revenue only. If your team prefers profit per employee or gross margin per employee, you can adapt the same framework by replacing the revenue input with your preferred business outcome measure.

7) Can this scorecard work for different departments?

Yes. You can run it for a company, region, business unit, or department. Just keep the inputs and targets aligned to the same population, time period, and measurement rules.

8) What is the best way to set targets?

Use a mix of past performance, budget expectations, benchmark data, and strategic priorities. Targets should be ambitious but realistic enough to guide actions and support management accountability.
