We understand and solve your key issues
We build products which are designed to solve our customers key challenges. Effective performance management helps you overcome crucial organisational hurdles.
- Ineffective annual appraisals
HR directors, managers and employees are all fed up with annual appraisals and the lack of value they provide. Annual appraisals are time-consuming and often affected by recency bias, which is why 75% of employees feel that they're an unfair reflection of performance.
- Low employee engagement
A lack of goal setting, feedback and frequent conversation is likely to result in reduced engagement. In fact, employees are 3.2 times less likely to be motivated when they don't receive continuous feedback.
- Lack of people insights
Tracking the performance and wellbeing of employees is often complicated, and it's even more difficult to extract this data and gain valuable insights in the age of remote working.
- Unclear objectives
Objectives are an integral part of successful performance management, but it can be difficult to set meaningful goals that are aligned with your business strategy
See how we can help Conversations
With automated conversation functionality, meaningful communication within your business becomes agile.
Advanced Clear Review enhances performance through guided conversations. See how the power of regular meaningful conversations can benefit employees, managers and HR within your organisation.
