There are situations where a manager’s rating is different from an employee’s self-assessment of competencies. In that case, the HR manager or employee wants to know the reason for the difference. In such situations, managers have to explain themselves, and this can be achieved by making comments mandatory. Profit.co provides an option to make mandatory comments when the ratings differ.
