The machine doesn't rate me

The BBC HR team uses SAP Success Factors for recruitment, staff management and tracking performance. SAP Success Factors in turn is adding AI features. In the latest release of "Performance and Goals", the programme offers a manager text suggestions when writing performance reviews, such as:

Comment suggestions based on the skill and rating selected, helping evaluators provide constructive, growth-centric feedback

Performance insights for managers, which analyzes talent data and summarizes employee’s strengths, achievements, and areas for improvement

Sentiment analysis for 360-degree reviews to help employees quickly identify negative or mixed feedback, highlighting areas that need improvement and enabling focused professional development.

I'm sure Beeboids engaged in "My Conversation" will be thrilled to know their managers may be being bolstered by Artificial Intelligence.

  1. This ex-Beeboid is mighty glad to have got away from that kind of language; it makes me nauseous. Sentiment analysis, indeed. If your sentiment needs to be analysed before its meaning reveals itself, you're not expressing your sentiment clearly enough.
