Performance

With outdated legacy systems, and even paper or manual processes, the employee performance-management process can be fragmented, inconsistent, time consuming and arduous for everyone involved.

  • Increase efficiencies and reduce costs as you replace cumbersome or manual processes with a standard, automated review process, ratings calibration, and goal-setting
  • Attract and retain high performers because you can recognize and reward them based on their contribution to your success
  • Improve organizational goal alignment as you cascade organizational objectives and overall strategies down to employee goals

360 Feedback

Multisource assessments with feedback from numerous constituents — internal peers as well as external sources, such as partners and customers — can facilitate employee development planning. 360 Feedback automates the competency-based multisource assessment process so it can be consistent and repeatable.

  • Facilitate employee development and growth as you aggregate competency feedback from internal and external sources and link it to development planning
  • Save time and reduce effort with automatic rater nominations, feedback forms, data collection and analysis, and report generation
  • Increase employee engagement and productivity as you offer development recommendations, identify unrealized strengths, and track year-over-year progress metrics

Compensation

You can simplify and standardize the planning, modeling, budgeting, analysis, and execution of global compensation and reward policies. There’s no need to rely on spreadsheets or outdated legacy software systems to manage compensation based on inaccurate or out-of-date information, inefficient and costly systems for rollups and approvals, and an inability to align compensation decisions to the performance of individuals and groups. With Compensation, you can:

  • Achieve global compensation visibility with a flexible, centralized, and modern compensation system that replaces spreadsheets and legacy systems
  • Build a culture of high performers as you align performance, goals, and rewards across an entire organization
  • Reduce the cost and complexity of compensation administration by optimizing rollups, exception handling, and approvals

Succession

You can increase visibility into your talent pipeline, build bench strength, improve talent identification of at-risk positions, and improve your ability to hire internally. With Succession, you can manage business risk and ensure leadership and critical-role continuity across all levels of an organization. It’s easy to improve internal talent mobility and rotation, reduce high-performer turnover, and increase engagement.

  • Establish dynamic talent pools and improve bench strength so you can empower business leaders to efficiently search for and track critical talent continuously
  • Connect high-potential employees with development opportunities that will allow them to become your future leaders and top performers
  • Replace manual, paper-based succession efforts with a systematic and technology-enabled process for succession

Recruiting

With Recruiting, you can streamline the entire hiring lifecycle from talent needs assessment, requisition creation, and sourcing to candidate selection and onboarding. Recruiters and hiring managers can easily handle high volumes of candidates and resumes and improve both efficiency and visibility into the hiring process. It’s easier to reduce time-to-hire, increase hiring quality, and improve regulatory compliance reporting.

  • Eliminate talent assessment and sourcing bottlenecks with efficient automation of candidate searches, filtering, pre-screening, assessment, ranking, and scoring
  • Improve end-to-end process consistency and transparency by connecting all aspects of the hiring processes via configurable workflows and descriptive analytics
  • Reduce reliance on costly and time-consuming external sourcing by establishing a talent mobility and rotation strategy that favors internal movement
