• Job Manager
◦ This is where all Jobs are created and shared (as templates). A title, description and typical responsibilities are outlined.
• Position Manager
◦ Turn a Job into a unique Position designed to connect a Supervisor to an Employee.  The Supervisor can use the Position Manager to modify Responsibilities for this Employee, schedule future meetings, and set reminders.
• Interactions
◦ Oftentimes team members are not comfortable coming to their supervisor. The CPR was designed to help facilitate this process. Notifications for Check Ins and Appraisals appear on an Employee’s timeline and help prevent too much time passing between communication.
