Objective:
The main objective of this article is to guide users through the process of calibrating N-box using the Development section in the Performance Management module. Detailed information is provided on how to perform calibrations to place employees in the appropriate quadrants, with practical examples to better understand the process.
It also describes the options to access reports related to the N-box, as well as to download the information in PDF and Excel formats. Instructions are provided on how to add additional variables and how to upload more participants to display in the N-box, with step-by-step explanations for each action.
Scope / Limitations:
To create N-box from the Development module in Buk, you must have an administrator profile on the platform or a custom profile with edit permissions in Development.
If when trying to create a new calibration (N-box) you only see the option "Desde Evaluación de desempeño Buk" and do not see the alternative to use an external evaluation, it is due to your profile permissions. For this second option to be enabled, it is strictly necessary that the user have access to Importers in their permissions configuration.

N-box:
The N-box is an essential tool in human talent management that allows visualization and evaluation of employees' talent in an organization using variables such as performance and potential. Graphically represented through a set of quadrants, each axis of the N-box reflects a key assessment dimension.
Its main purpose is to enable leaders and HR managers to make informed decisions regarding the development and management of talent within the company. By placing employees in different quadrants according to these variables, a clear view is obtained of their current contribution and the growth potential they possess.

Development module:
In Buk, when using the Performance Management module, you have the opportunity to use the Development section to customize and create N-box according to your specific needs. This will allow you to make strategic decisions based on concrete data and carry out a more effective and efficient talent management process.
You can generate these N-box both from evaluations carried out in Buk and from external evaluations. You can configure them as you wish and choose the number of quadrants of your N-box. Additionally, you have the ability to perform calibrations based on employees' scores to place them in the appropriate quadrant.
Considerations before starting:
- That your Performance Evaluation (PE) iscompleted.
-
That the evaluation includespotential questions(remember that these questions can only be configured in theTop-down Evaluation).
Platform process:
Access the Talent module and enter the "Development" section. You will be able to create N-boxfrom a Performance Evaluation carried out in BukorFrom an external Evaluation.

How to calibrate?:
⚠️Important about calibration: The adjustments and modifications you make in this module areexclusively visualto reposition the employee in a new quadrant of the matrix. This actionwill not affect or modifythe original scores that the employee obtained in their official Performance Evaluation.
Once the N-box is created, employees will be graphically represented in the quadrants according to their scores
Looking at the specific example case, a score of 3.13 in performance and 2.33 in potential was obtained; by joining these lines, we can see that the employee falls into the "In development" quadrant, according to the range configuration.
To calibrate an employee, select their icon. From there, you can modify the scores of the entered variables. By doing so, you can see in which final quadrant the employee will be positioned after the calibration. Additionally, you have the option to leave comments that you can review later in the reports. To finish, click "Save"
Once the calibration is complete, you will notice that the employee will be automatically placed in the new quadrant according to their new scores.
Report:
You can access the report from the "Report" tab. Here you will find the initial scores of the variables and the final scores after calibration. Also, in the "Status" section, you can verify whether employees have been calibrated. If so, in the "Initial quadrant" and "Final quadrant" columns you can observe their movements. You can also review the comments entered during the calibration.
Download information:
From the "Actions" button, you have the option to download the information. Select "Download PDF" to get the image of the N-box and "Download data" to obtain an Excel file with all the data.
Add variables:
You also have the option to add more variables to your N-box; to do this click on "Actions" and select "Import axis data".
You can select the variables you wish to display. Choose the variables for each axis and then click "Update".
Add participants:
You also have the option to upload more participants to display them in the N-box. To do so, go to the "Actions" section and choose between two methods: you can add participants manually by selecting "Add participants manually" and then select the desired employees from the list. Alternatively, you can add participants in bulk by selecting "Add participants in bulk". For this, download a template in Excel format, which you must complete with the employees' document numbers and their respective scores in the entered variables. Once completed, you can import this file to add participants efficiently.
