Performance Appraisal Software

Performance management software is there to help you support your staff's growth and development. It's a tool that makes it easier to set goals, give feedback and track progress, so everyone's working together and feeling supported. You might also hear it called a performance management system, or sometimes even appraisal software - it all boils down to the same thing: helping you get the best from your people without getting bogged down in a load of HR admin.

Performance reviews are an important part of performance management programs because they help you set clear expectations for your team, so your staff and business can thrive. Effective performance appraisal software helps you systemise and track those open conversations about performance and career goals, which keeps your employees on track and motivated.

Continuous performance management helps you encourage the behaviours you want to see and inspire your staff to do their best work. It highlights opportunities to develop your employees' skills over time, helping them grow in their roles.

Performance appraisal software helps with this by giving you a clear picture of employee performance, highlighting both successes and areas where individuals could benefit from development.

To further protect your information, we use several physical security measures, including CCTV, motion sensors, reinforced doors and controlled key storage.

Accessing your company and employee data is super easy. All you need is an active internet connection to use our performance review software.

Performance management software is now more cost-effective than ever before. Our cloud-based employee performance software is available through a monthly subscription, starting at just £22 per month (excluding VAT). The exact price you pay depends on the number of people in your company.

Performance reviews are a valuable tool to connect with your people, make sure they feel supported, and guide everyone's growth. Here's how you can make them really count:

• Keep it consistent: Regular check-ins are key, not just one big annual review. With Breathe, you can easily schedule those all important 1-2-1s and link them right to your work calendar so they don't get missed. Managers and employees will get automated reminders about those upcoming meetings.

• Set clear goals together: Every performance management process should include clear goal-setting. Make sure everyone knows what they're working towards and how it fits into the company's overarching aims and strategy. Breathe's objective-setting feature is perfect for this, helping you collaborate on goals and track progress.

• Focus on growth: Reviews shouldn't just be about what's happened; they're also about what's next. Chat about career aspirations and how you can support your employees' goals and development.

• Give and receive feedback: Performance management programs always benefit from having opportunities for regular feedback. Encourage open and honest conversations. It's a two way street! With Breathe, it's easy to give employees feedback and get feedback from them, using features like 'Company suggestions' and eNPS surveys.

• Recognise achievements: Don't forget to celebrate successes, big and small. Embedding recognition schemes into your performance management process is a great way to boost morale and show your staff that you value their contributions. With Breathe, you can even use the Kudos feature to give a shout-out to a colleague or department for a job well done.

• Keep records simple: Breathe helps you keep all your performance reports, notes and objectives in one place for easy reference. You can also store performance improvement plans for members of staff who need ongoing support.

No, not at all! In fact, our performance evaluation software is specifically designed to make the appraisal process quicker and easier for you. Our visual performance reports give you a clear view of how your staff are doing, so you can easily see who's engaged and who might need a little extra support. Recognising those who are doing great work can really help prevent burnout and keep staff motivated.
