Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Evaluating employees is one of the most difficult tasks a manager can face: what to write, how to write it, when to find the time! But a clear, consistent employee-review program is essential for getting maximum performance from your staff--and protecting your organization against costly employee lawsuits. If you dread writing performance reviews, Performance Now is for you.

Performance Now is a remarkable new program that takes your input and actually writes employee reviews for you--in minutes! It's like having your own personal HR advisor coaching through every step of the review, providing advice on everything from backing your evaluations with concrete examples to setting goals and developing plans for improvement. And because Performance Now was designed by human resources and employment-law experts, you can rest assured that the reviews you create will be clear, effective, and free of inappropriate wording. Performance Now uses the tried-and-true "rating/essay" format that's preferred by 70 percent of businesses in the United States. But make no mistake, this is in no way "one-size fits all" software. Want to include numerical ratings on individual performance elements? How about a single overall rating? Do you want your top rating to be "superior", or "exceptional"? Performance Now gives you the power to customize the language and the form to precisely fit your organization.

4.0 out of 5 stars Making reviews happen, May 2, 2001

By	Mark Bader (NW Indiana USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wanting to set up a formal process to make reviews happen in a medical office with 7 doctors and 28 staff persons was a big wish of mine. After a little learning curve delay of how to set up forms, and training supervisors to not mess with my computer, I got them to begin the process with more content and less subjectivity than in years before. Using the word processor to tailor responses was a little "clunky", but it churned out decent reviews formatted for our organization. Not a bad deal. Wish there were competencies for different industries, but, hey this is not the enterprise edition.
