SilkRoad Performance

Employee Performance Management is the process by which a manager or consultant examines and evaluates an employee's work behavior by comparing it with preset standards,  documents the results of the comparison, and uses the results to provide feedback to the employee to show where improvements are needed and why.

Beyond locating employees areas of potential improvement, employee performance management software might also include Leadership Management assessments or modules to help management locate potential leaders in the ranks and provide a promotion or learning path that sets the right expectations as employees grow in competence and rank, in preparation for assuming management responsibilities.

Employee Performance Management Software

We used Wingspan for our goal setting process for our employees and our feedback for leadership process. Our team very much felt like we were "sold a bill of goods"- we were told that it would have a lot of functionality that it definitely did not have - or had very limited capability. We were on the phone with our account rep or support more than we were actually using it. It also had a very rudimentary interface.

Unfortunately our experience was very poor, so I don't have anything for what they do "particularly" well.

Transparency about the capabilities of their system. We would have never chosen WingSpan had we had a clear picture of the limitations of their system.
Ease of use - as an administrator we found it to be difficult to work with. Of course, improvements may have been made in this area since we used it last.
The user interface could use some updating.

I feel it set us back a bit, and also caused us to lose credibility with our management team after it turned out to be a "failed experiment."
We have gone back to a manual system of doing goal setting that works better for us.
