Performance Management

Performance management is the measurement of activities by an employee, department or entire organization to ensure that a company's goals are being met in an effective and efficient manner to ensure business success.

An effective performance management system allows you to engage your employees by establishing a true pay-for-performance culture. By communicating and aligning company goals to employees while setting achievable performance expectations, the company's compensation system is linked to actual individual and / or team performance.

Although many different types of performance management programs exist, most can be generalized into the following cycle:

  • Goals and objectives are defined and communicated to the employee
  • Management provides ongoing observation and coaches individuals on performance regarding the achievement of goals
  • Appraisal where individual performance is formally documented, feedback delivered and appropriately compensated. If performance meets or exceeds the desired performance standard, a reward is given. If performance does not meet the desired performance standards, a performance development plan is created to address the performance gap
  • Repeat the cycle

Improving morale, creating loyalty and increasing overall productivity in your employees through performance management is the key to your company outperforming the competition.

SuccessFactors Business Execution software with the Performance Management module includes “best practices” to make your performance management process easier, take less time and improve the overall quality of your performance review feedback. With SuccessFactors, you'll enjoy higher employee engagement, better HR and executive oversight, and more efficient business practices leading to greater success.
