Performance Now® Quickly and Easily Writes Effective Performance Reviews — and More!
Performance Now 4.0
A solid employee review is one of the strongest tools for managing personnel. Performance Now makes it easy to write complete, concise employee reviews that provide the kind of feedback your employees need to succeed.
With Performance Now, your managers won't merely be able to produce better performance reviews, they'll learn how to be better coaches, mentors and counselors.
It gives you the vocabulary needed to be an effective coach, mentor and counselor. Instead of those generic, utterly useless performance reviews others are guilty of conducting (you know which ones I'm talking about). As a manager, supervisor or team leader your performance reviews will now be packed with tangible outcomes, realistic goals and precise expectations that your employees can meet.
For example, how many times have you seen something like:
"Brian needs to communicate more effectively and stop being negative."?
That doesn't do Brian or his manager any good. There are no clear, definable measurements of what constitutes effective, positive communication skills.
With Performance Now you have a secret weapon in the battle for effective performance evaluations.
After identifying area of opportunity, you go to the goal-setting portion of Performance Now, highlight the communications segment and click on the "Ideas" button. You won't believe the options available!!
It take about two minutes to review the options. Click on a few of the options that address your employee challenge, then click on the "Copy Ideas to Review Form" button and you're done. Your new goal setting portion might now read something like-
"Brian needs to anticipate what questions might be asked about his work ahead of time and formulate answers. He also needs to ask for assistance from others rather than making demands of them.
Finally, to diminish his tendency to dominate the conversation, Brian needs to concentrate on what the other person is saying before formulating his thoughts and answering. In light of his past outbursts, Brian needs to guard against responding emotionally to a volatile situation. Instead of becoming defensive or argumentative when discussing a problem or situation, Brian needs to:
- Avoid inappropriate body language and gestures such as rolling his eyes, shrugging, or smirking.
- Avoid interrupting conversations or finishing others' sentences, and not jumping to conclusions until he has heard all the facts and all sides of a situation.
- Avoid using verbal phrases or responses that belittle colleagues, their actions or their ideas. Instead, Brian needs to begin to disagree without resorting to vulgarity by focusing on constructive feedback and the verbal tone he uses to respond to others."
Of the two examples, which do feel got the best results? The second one, of course. I had no clue that these options were available. Yet, they were just a handful of of the dozens of options displayed when you go to the ideas section.
Yours for the clicking.
With each click, the evaluation is being written automatically: from rating various elements to goal setting. You can evaluate and keep track of an infinite number of employees. With a few clicks and a few tweaks, You have a blueprint for improvement. It's a win-win for everyone involved.
Because the program is so intuitive and simple to learn, you can even have my employees assess their own performance. Then, you and your employees compare results and get mutual ownership on specific goals and improvement. Even in informal settings, knowing the options let's you help employees throughout the day to be their best in 45 different performance competencies.
Performance Now cuts reviewing in half! It eliminates the hours and hours of the time it usually takes to write employee reviews and evaluations manually.
Imagine the savings... if, for example, you or other managers in your organization spend an average of three hours per performance evaluation, and your time is worth $50 per hour, then it costs you $150 per evaluation, plus the time it takes to conduct the actual review. Multiply that amount by the total number of employees in your organization. For an organization of 50 people, that's at least $7500 in lost time per review period.
Now, imagine using Performance Now to write the reviews for those same 50 people. If you can cut your evaluation writing and review time in half, you'll realize a cost savings of $3750 PER REVIEW PERIOD. You'll look like a hero to your staff and to your bosses.
It strengthens the performance evaluations too, making them more meaningful. And they assure that you're working within EEOC parameters, potentially saving you and your organization millions in legal fees.
Choose from the list of performance elements, rate the employee's performance on a high-to-low scale and watch exclusive Intelli-Text technology write clear, concise supporting text that translates your observations into meaningful, legally sensitive words.
Simply add examples, edit, and you're done. Get the most out of your performance review process. Less headache. More tangible results. The ability to help your employees to help themselves.
Performance Now gives you more time to focus on doing a better job of leading your employees. It improves communications and gives you coaching ideas to inspire your staff to become high achievers.
Performance equals freedom. The freedom to stop baby-sitting, refereeing, putting out fires. The freedom to being the creative, proactive, well-paid, highly promotable leader you we meant to be. Performance Now is worth every penny.
