Keen to map employees’ performance consistently? These HR firms can help

Entrepreneurs, founders, and CEOs often emphasise the importance of effective performance management of employees for the success of a business. The act of efficiently engaging with employees to review their ongoing workplace performance and development is a critical aspect of running any organisation. And an effective performance management system requires commitment from several stakeholders, including the human resources (HR) personnel, managers, and employees themselves.  But this can often become tedious and difficult to manage, despite all the stakeholders’ best intentions.

 

To plug these gaps and make the process of recruitment and performance management simpler and more efficient, small and large companies been deploying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) powered tools to automate otherwise time-consuming HR tasks.
