Cezanne Software launches a new employee performance management module
Cezanne Software, the leading European supplier of integrated HR and talent management solutions, has today announced a new employee performance planning and appraisal module for its Cezanne OnDemand online HR software solution. First released in June 2011, Cezanne OnDemand already has an impressive customer base of small businesses and mid-sized enterprises, many of whom are well-known brands and innovators in their own markets.
The new module allows companies to raise the profile of performance management across the business and helps managers and employees to focus on achieving performance objectives.
Features include; tools to help businesses easily create on-line performance questionnaires and manage their distribution across the organisation; automatic routing of activities to employees and their line managers; and graphical dashboards that make it easier to track critical performance-related information.
In a challenging business environment, where the contribution of every employee counts, the new performance management module is a valuable tool that will help companies ensure their people know exactly what is expected of them - and that they are providing the support employees need to perform at their best. Improved visibility of processes and information will also mean that HR can easily make use of performance-related data to drive important HR decisions.
Julie Windsor, Director of Operations, UK & Benelux explains: “Although the vast majority of businesses do performance management, many are still using paper-based or online forms, and it is too often treated as an annual chore. Bits of paper documenting decisions about objectives and development needs get pushed to the back of a drawer and either never emerge – or are pulled out and dusted off a year later only to find that nothing has been actioned, and as a result nothing has changed.
“Of course no software product can replace a face-to-face conversation with employees – but automating the administration associated with the process saves time, avoids duplication and helps to ensure key performance review deadlines aren’t missed. And, as the system is online, information is much more accessible, so everyone involved can keep track of what’s been discussed and agreed.”
“It’s a straightforward, low-cost way for companies to streamline the processes they already have in place and ensure they are getting the best possible results for the business.”
