STACK RANKER

SuccessFactors Stack Ranker is a premium addition to the SuccessFactors suite of Performance & Talent Management tools. Stack Ranker lets you make accurate assessments about your entire team without having to do individual performance reviews. Stack Ranker lets you visually analyse how your team stacks up against one another in any performance area. You can now effortlessly compare team members against a single critical role-related competency or on overall performance. You can also incorporate other performance factors like criticality of roles to serve as tie-breakers for a complete assessment. Stack Ranker gives you results quickly and comes complete with the analysis tools you’ll use to get the up-to-the-minute pulse on your team, making it so much easier for you to respond instantly to changing business priorities and direction.

NOTE: Stack Ranker is free for all clients subscribed to PMv12 and shows within the Team/Manager Overview.

How does SuccessFactors Stack Ranker work?

• Common team competencies or other performance criteria are listed on the page, too. As you rate each team member, the Summary area automatically displays the team in ranking order, with the order changing dynamically as you continue your When you’re done, you’ll see your team shown in the order of highest overall performer to lowest overall performer. You can then narrow the performance criteria; for example, you can select a single competency, and see how your team stacks up.
