Drive your people

Our market research shows that there are a number of really good performance management solutions available to organisations, if those organisations solely wish to substitute current paper based performance assessment systems with electronic solutions. However we believe that we are the only supplier that starts at assessment of achievement of overall organisational performance and also provides a view of each part of the organisation, each team and each individual. This really engages people, they can see on a daily basis how what they are doing is contributing to overall performance and corporate goals. This acts in two ways, it fosters a feeling of belonging, and the interface is so simple and intuitive as to make this fun rather than a chore, and secondly, it applies direct pressure to deliver - just one person can see immediately if they are the reason why a corporate or workgroup goal is being missed.

Further to performance, eSM shows organisational capability, which allows people to see their value to the enterprise. They can compare themselves to a role model or peer, and work out with their manager what they need to do to progress. This is where the value of skills frameworks comes to the fore, the consistency removes any doubt about managers having favourites, now there is real empirical data.
