Streamline state employee forms through workflow automation
PerForms is a new application under the Commonwealth of Virginia (COV) Applications, or COV Apps, product family. This is a VITA initiative to centralize applications and automated forms used by executive branch agencies, developed in partnership with the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM). The first PerForms release is the self-evaluation and will be followed by the annual performance evaluation. PerForms will be used by classified employees who are in the Cardinal system and are subject to the state performance planning and evaluation policy.
Program goals:
- Standardize key business functions across the Commonwealth
- Provide valuable data for metrics that can be analyzed in real time
- Save agencies time spent creating and maintaining their own forms and processes
- Provide enhanced visibility of processes
