What Happens After Your Score Is Calculated?

Once your Total Weighted Score and performance rating are determined, several things may happen:

• Performance-based adjustments: Your rating may influence decisions about salary increases, bonuses (if applicable), or promotions
• Development planning: You and your manager will discuss areas for growth and create a development plan
• Recognition: High performers may receive formal recognition or additional opportunities
• Performance improvement plans: If your rating is "Needs Improvement" or below, you may be placed on a formal improvement plan with specific goals and timelines

Remember, your score isn't just a number—it's a reflection of your contributions to OXO and a starting point for conversations about your career development.

Deductions: How Absenteeism and Disciplinary Actions Affect Your Score

As mentioned earlier in this course, your Total Weighted Score can be reduced by:

• Absenteeism: Excessive unplanned absences may result in point deductions
• Disciplinary actions: Formal reprimands or violations of company policy can negatively impact your score

These deductions are applied after your weighted score is calculated, which means even strong performance in your outcomes and competencies can be undermined by attendance or conduct issues.

The lesson? Performance isn't just about what you achieve—it's also about reliability, professionalism, and adherence to OXO's policies.

Common Questions About Scorecard Scoring

Q: What if I disagree with my score?

If you believe your score doesn't accurately reflect your performance, discuss it with your manager. Provide specific examples and evidence to support your perspective. If the issue isn't resolved, you can escalate to HR.

Q: Can my score change during the year?

Your official score is typically finalized during your annual performance review. However, you should receive informal feedback throughout the year so you're never surprised by your final rating.

Q: What if I score "Needs Improvement" or lower?

A low score isn't the end of the world—it's a signal that you need support to improve. Work with your manager to create a clear improvement plan, seek training or mentorship, and commit to making measurable progress.

Q: Can I see how my score is calculated in real-time?

Your score is calculated in real-time by Talenta system. This gives you visibility into where you stand and what to focus on.

Q: Is it possible to get a perfect 5.0 score?

Yes, but it's rare. A 5.0 means you scored "Always" (5) in every single competency and outcome, with no deductions. It represents truly exceptional, flawless performance.

OXO's scorecard scoring system is designed to give you a clear, objective, and fair evaluation of your performance.
