Feedback flexibility, clean design, and smart automation are some of the characteristics of automated performance management systems.
FREMONT, CA: When an organization purchases an automated performance management system, it makes a big commitment. Three categories of features are recommended: flexibility, ease of use, and great support. Managers and employees may benefit from software that excels in these three areas.
