You’re in charge of People Management. How do you choose the best performance review software?
In my experience, people management is the embodiment of the company's culture. So performance review software needs to reflect those ideals, values and measurement criteria that motivates, elevates the team, in turn moves the company forward. So I'd start with those fundamental, have a clear idea on how I'd want to measure performance of the team. Next I would review whether that aligns with the go to market processes in play at the company - can employees be clear in their delivery and measurement? With these in hand, I'd source the market and start the matchmaking process. The right software will have to checkbox these critical elements.
