Make Performance Reviews Count

Posted by Judy Mottl Tuesday, Nov 13, 2007, 12:12 PM ET

The advent of the holidays brings end-of-year headaches--financial and management requirements like job performance reviews and salary reviews.

But taking that view and not understanding the importance of good job performance evaluations can hurt the business and hurt it bad.

As a Forrester Research report notes:

Proactive performance management drives higher productivity. Paper- or email-driven performance review processes are rarely compliant, and are typically performed annually in conjunction with salary reviews.

The solution is to automating the business process as it allows managers to focus on actually improving employee and company performance rather than just focusing on the tactical aspects of the process.

For a good look at solutions within reach check out the software-as-solutions offerings that won't hurt you budget and could help your business in more than one way.

The tools are helping small companies not only automate the entire performance review process, but also put in place things like goal management and pay-for-performance programs that make reviews a lot more meaningful.
