Stop herding cats and get your managers Jammin'

Performance reviews, goal setting, and compensation planning are typically scheduled once or twice a year, but it's rare for these important processes to be completed on time. Despite your attempts to train your managers on these processes, they are busy and often put off reviews, goals, or merit increases until the last minute. By the time they are actively working on their employee reviews and run into problems, your email and voicemail are full.

With a Jam community around each of these processes, you'll easily share best practices enabling managers to get their questions answered when they need them - when they are actually filling out their forms. Jam makes it incredibly easy to create content. In a matter of minutes, you can create a video, a PowerPoint presentation with a voiceover, or even demonstrate how to fill out each of the performance, goal or compensation forms. Jam takes care of the rest - no editing, no uploads, no configuring. In a minute or two, the recording is available for everyone to access. Of course, Jam supports other documents, including Microsoft Office and Adobe PDFs that can be shared with the group.

Now managers can watch the recordings while they are filling out their forms. And if they still have general questions, they can check the group to see if it's already been answered. If it hasn't, they can post the new question to the group wall. This means you are answering questions one time for everyone, giving you more time to work with managers on specific issues. Not only does Jam free you from responding to multiple emails on the same subject, the group membership is automated based on the SuccessFactors employee profile, so administration is minimal.

Jam will make your performance appraisal, goal setting and compensation planning more efficient for your company's managers and human resources. By giving your managers the detailed information they need when they are actually working on forms, you'll have better compliance with company guidelines and receive better data on your talent improving downstream processes like succession and development planning.
