In a performance process flow with Self-Evaluation, which step follows the Manager Evaluation step?

• A. Self-Evaluation
• B. Approval
• C. Calibration
• D. Mass Assign

Answer: (B)

After the manager completes their evaluation, the process moves to formal approval. This step provides governance and ensures the manager’s ratings and development plans comply with policies, rating limits, and any compensation implications before the results advance to the next stages. Approval acts as the sign-off that authorizes the evaluation and prepares it for subsequent steps like calibration or distribution. In this sequence, self-evaluation occurs earlier, calibration comes after evaluations have been finalized and signed off, and mass-assign is not the immediate next step in the workflow.
