• Key Concepts: 
  Integrated Performance Appraisal (IPA) is a component of SAP Personnel Administration (PA-PA) that enables organizations to manage employee performance reviews. It allows managers to create and track performance goals, evaluate employee performance, and provide feedback. It also provides a platform for employees to review their own performance and set goals for improvement. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use IPA, managers must first create performance goals for each employee. These goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Once the goals are set, managers can track progress and provide feedback throughout the year. At the end of the year, managers can use IPA to evaluate employee performance and provide a final rating. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting performance goals, it is important to ensure that they are realistic and achievable. It is also important to provide regular feedback throughout the year so that employees can adjust their performance accordingly. Finally, it is important to ensure that all evaluations are fair and consistent across the organization.
