Start driving alignment with Workleap Performance

Reimagining performance management has been a focus area for many companies over the past two years. It's not surprising considering that a focus on performance management can lead to organizations being 4.2x more likely to outperform their peers (an average to 30 percent higher revenue growth), according to the folks at McKinsey.

The outcome sounds wonderful, but the reality is that many performance review programs fall short. There's inconsistency in how the review is delivered depending on each individual leader, a lack of feedback frequency, and often, a lack of insight from all stakeholders (the employee, their peers, and the manager) into what an impactful conversation should look like.

We designed Workleap Performance to reduce the stress of performance management, create real, insightful, and engaging conversations between teams and their leaders, and ultimately drive real business impact.

Introducing Workleap Performance

Everything we do at Workleap is to help HR simplify the modern workplace. With the introduction of Workleap Performance as a part of our platform, we’re excited to reimagine how companies across distributed, hybrid, and remote teams can improve how their teams perform.

With Workleap Performance, we are helping HR to build a performance management approach that:

• Includes the right number of conversations for your teams and organizations.
• Creates consistency for every reviewer and leader to have better conversations with employees
• Brings together the right insights to understand what an employee has accomplished.

Drive the right conversations for your business

Performance review cycles are different for every HR team. There are differences by industry, geography, or employee count. There is no one-size-fits-all. Or at least there shouldn’t be.

Workleap Performance is built to be flexible. With a customizable framework, you can create the performance management program that makes the most sense for your business. This can mean modifying your process to ensure teams have the right number of reviews each year and that everyone is focused on the questions that will provide the greatest impact.

You can customize:

• Cadence (annually, bi-annually, quarterly, or weekly) 
• Type of review format (peer, self, manager, or mix of all three) 
• Review parameters (deadlines, number of peer reviewers, and participants)
• Question type (format, content, and amount)

And it’s not just about these key customizable features.

The true flexibility of our platform resides in its ability to effortlessly adapt to changes or unforeseen events during an active review cycle. For example, you could extend deadlines, change a question, or add additional team members to the review process. We want to support you in keeping your performance review cycles on track, no matter what happens.

Create consistency across the organization

With so many stakeholders involved in the performance review process, it can be tough to keep everyone aligned to the same process. The lack of consistency is often exasperated by managers with varying styles and different levels of training. To help overcome this, we provide managers with visibility throughout the entire reporting cycle.

We are also aware that consistency in performance management is vital when it comes to ensuring fair reviews. Creating that equitable process was a major focus for Workleap Performance which is why we focused on streamlined review forms that ensure a standardized process.

Gather feedback that matters

For many managers, it can be challenging to always see the progress of employees as they work on cross-functional projects or in distributed teams. The ability to gather the correct (and actionable) feedback can mean understanding feedback from a number of sources — including the employee themselves, the manager, and also from collaborators and stakeholders. Focusing on 360 feedback remains a consistent and critical way to gather insights from across the business.

With Workleap Performance, employees receive impactful feedback from all angles:

• Peer reviews: provide insights from the team members who collaborate with employees
• Self reviews: provide the tools for self reflection and personal accountability
• Manager reviews: provide a format for direct reports to align with managers on performance

Experience simplicity at every step

Over the past year, we’ve talked to many of you who expressed the need for a performance management platform that’s simple for HR, people managers, and employees to navigate.

Every HR professional we spoke to would prefer to focus more time on facilitating and reviewing performance feedback — not setting up review cycles. Workleap Performance removes the unnecessary bells and whistles and puts simplicity at the forefront, so that you can develop a review process with ease.

• Simplify the experience for your employees with an easy-to-navigate user interface
• Simplify communications throughout the review cycle with automated notifications
• Simplify progress monitoring with a centralized review cycle tracker

Your three core needs are covered

Simplicity. Flexibility. Consistency. These are the guiding values under which we built this product and continue to develop and enhance Workleap Performance. Now, HR professionals everywhere can create high-quality performance management programs that lead to aligned and impactful results.

Performance management, when done well, can drive increased alignment between employee goals and the unique objectives of your business so that you can ultimately be more productive and more successful. Our new Workleap Performance solution is built with this outcome in mind, by focusing on what matters most to HR professionals who own the performance management cycle.
