Get a rounded view of performance
Measure performance against your performance metrics including behaviours and values, or project-related deliverables. Get a rounded view of performance by sourcing feedback from peers, managers, project managers and external stakeholders using 360-degree feedback.
Incorporate project-based performance reviews
Project-based work can make performance management more difficult but with Appraisd you can set review schedules around projects, including automatically triggering a review post-project, or part way through. Include internal and external reviewers in the process and apply different templates for colleagues, managers and other reviewers.
Work with your Customer Success Manager to evolve your process
Every Appraisd customer has a named Customer Success Manager who is there to support you from onboarding onwards. We can support your current process even if you know it needs to change and we can work with you to adopt new features or adjust them over time.
Getting employees thinking about their own progression
“With Appraisd we had the right tool in place, we just needed to finesse our approach. The way we decided to do this was to change our questions. We redesigned them to get employees thinking more about how they wanted to develop and progress their careers. The focus of their conversations with their line manager then became about how they could achieve these goals and what the company could do to support their efforts. This immediately made the process more positive and dynamic, not dwelling on things from the past they couldn’t change but putting them in control of their futures.”
But don’t just take our word for it
"Creating a culture of open feedback is really important to MullenLowe Group. We want everyone to feel empowered and comfortable to give and receive relevant, timely and useful feedback. This is enormously useful, providing recognition when it's due and addressing concerns before they become too difficult or messy to deal with."
"Appraisd has made my life easier. I know there is more we can do with it, such as introducing wellbeing check-ins, but as a lone resource, I need to take things slowly. When we are ready, I know Ros and the team will be there to support me and the benefits we get as an organisation will only grow."
"I find Appraisd to be really easy to use, both as a user and as an admin. I like that I am able to customise everything I need to from appraisal forms, to feedback forms and even the colour scheme. There have been very few problems I haven't been able to solve on my own and for everything else the support team were incredibly responsive."
