PerformYard has taken our Employee-Management Engagement to the NEXT LEVEL
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use PerformYard as a tool to keep our employees in close contact with their managers regarding personal and company-wide goals. Given this, we usually meet in person twice a year however, PerformYard has given us the ability to save our thoughts, concerns, and goals in one place that we can access all throughout the year. The days of paper pushing and trying to remember what we accomplished in a six month period, have ended! It has kept our company more organized and we are able to go back to previous reviews to remind us what we need to work on.
Pros
- We are able to put in goals and objectives to stay organized.
- We are able to pull up previous goals and reviews to see if we are still on track or falling behind.
- It provides a safe platform for personal questions, goal aspirations, or concerns with your manager if you are not able to find time to sit down in person.
Cons
- Our company had a hard time transitioning from the old paper path (via MS office). Maybe a more thorough training would have helped everyone transition easier.
- For some of my colleagues goals, they stated that they needed to retype the same information in multiple steps which made their goals take much longer than normal.
- Making the dashboard a little more user friendly (e.g. larger icons, pictures, etc.) for easier navigation would be handy for a lot of my colleagues, as they are older and aren't as computer savvy.
Return on Investment
- I think overall, the ROI is positive because it is saving a lot of time for managers with several employees. It cut down our review time to half compared to our old process.
- Negatively, it has caused our employees to spend a lot more time trying to adjust to the layout, therefore causing them to spend more time on the platform compared to the old way. This should improve over time.
- We have had better archiving for our reviews and goals which is engaging the managers more with their employees.
