We all know that an effective performance appraisal process is meant to work wonders - but that writing appraisals, setting and keeping track of objectives, and giving feedback is hard and time consuming. If we are honest appraisals are something that, given half a chance, we will put off at the first opportunity.

 

So how about an on-line system that helps with all the hard bits and delivers great results?

After a long hard look at the market we have chosen Success Factors Express as the online performance appraisal system we would like to offer our clients who are appraising 5 to 100 staff.

 

It makes
• the performance appraisal process simpler
• increases goal visibility and allows managers to track employee progress towards achieving their objectives not just once a year or once every six months during the performance appraisal itself but throughout the year
• allows you to identify and discuss key behaviours
• writing up the appraisal easy (because it includes powerful report writing tools)

Even better
• the time it saves and the results it achieves means it pays for itself.
• It can be up and running in hours
• it is hosted, secure and supported – no IT fuss

 

As Christine Devlin, our Express champion says:
‘Of course to make performance management work you have to want to do it and your managers and staff have to understand what is expected of them and why. We are really pleased be able to offer all our clients such a powerful and affordable tool that delivers real competitive advantage. Express instantly makes a manual review process into an automated one that is easy to administer and can be up and running within hours and will achieve almost instantly."
