Performance Management

In this fast moving competitive world, performance management is the key to ensure employee productivity in an organization. It provides an objective platform for setting, tracking and appraising employee performance. It helps HR establish an objective performance culture, develop career plans, allocate compensation efficiently and nurture outstanding performers.
Some features include:

• Employees can identify and set goals aligned to corporate objectives, in collaboration with the managers.

• Collecting of feedbacks from various angles is possible thereby making it a 360 degree feedback system which helps to identify leadership potentials.

• Generate on-demand margin analysis report for realistic budgeting.

• Organizational as well as individual performance is aligned through the normalization process.

• Goal status and modifications can be reviewed periodically.

Performance management is sometimes confused with Performance Appraisal, but Appraisal is just the final part of the management cycle. In short, Performance Appraisal is a backward looking process, whereas Performance management is a forward looking process.
Through performance management organisations can align their workforce to goals and objectives, with the power to be responsive to business opportunities and deliveries.

Shift Management

Shift work is a form of work scheduling involving a process in which a group of workers succeed each other at the same workstation in shifts. The shifts can be organized either in a rotating, a continuous or a discontinuous fashion. Notwithstanding the patterns of work scheduling, it has been unequivocally accepted that shift work in general disrupts biological rhythms, sleep and social life. In addition, shift work leads to a number of clinical and non-clinical problems. It retards human performance and increases the chances of occurrence of major industrial accidents.

However in order to get rid of such occurrences, firm’s are seeking software’s which provide them with Shift Management facility. By using such Shift Management Systems the company can gain complete control of rotating employees, know availability with easy linking to departments like transport to facilitate people management.
Some systems have features like:

• Assign / Rotate employees through various shifts

• Present overview of employees working in any shift

• Link shift roster to the transport department and schedule pick-ups.

By applying such systems to use, there can be optimization of human shift work which in turn would minimize the occupational health hazards among shift workers. This will result in increasing their performance and augment the productivity of their organization.
