A Business Intelligence Tool

 

As long as there have been business transactions, there have been dozens, if not hundreds of ways developed to evaluate, manage and make a profit from the process. It can be argued that human capital is as important as the financial capital is to an organization’s livelihood. Thus making an organization’s human capital, its employees, and their performance, critical. Regardless of the industry, employee skills and their performance impacts the bottom line of the organization. It is the job of human resources to provide the tools to better manage and understand those factors that affect and contribute to employee performance.

 

Conventional performance reviews are typically paper-laden and one-directional, with little opportunity for an open discussion and reflection on company, employee, or team goals, and how they relate to overall company performance, outcomes, and achievements. Technology solutions in recent years have improved this process. But as with any technology, getting a real-time look at what all the data means is key. Assessing individual employee performance can help determine the top performers and identify those employees who need assistance or further training. Holding your organization’s employees to a high-performance standard helps identify skill gaps, retain employees, and create training and employee development opportunities.

 

Using a business intelligence tool can streamline the performance evaluation process. Improving the process for performance evaluation significantly improves overall employee outcomes because of tracking and documentation. This makes it easy for human resources, managers, and employees. One tool that can help your HR department with employee performance is analytics.
