Find time for employee appraisals

Regular appraisals are crucial for tracking employee performance and improving their engagement. They keep your team on the right track with their goals and allow you to nip any potential issues in the bud.

Breathe makes it easy to book these appraisals and will automatically notify staff about their time and location. You can even score employee performance for at-a-glance comparison with other team members.

Promote professional growth

Breathe encourages your people to pursue professional growth by letting them know what training programs they need to complete. Your management team can then easily keep up with who’s done what and who needs chasing. Scheduling training has never been so effortless.
