Workstream Performance Version 7

Flexible, Unified Talent Management Solution

Workstream Performance 7.0 is a component of the unified Talent Center 7.0 offering. Customers have a single view of all their talent management information: performance reviews, 360 assessments, compensation planning, development data, and succession planning - all unified in one application.

The Most Complete View of Workforce Performance

Performance 7.0 provides managers, employees and executives the most complete view of workforce performance. Executives see high-level dashboard reports to track progress on organizational and cascading goals as well as drill-down analytics that show overall competency health of the organization. Line managers can see competency and development goal information on all their direct reports and employees are empowered with access to their performance and development appraisals on-line.

Performance Management Process Done Your Way

Performance 7.0 is the most flexible solution on the market today. Unlike some applications which require users to conform to their process, Workstream Performance 7.0 can be tailored to suit a business's unique performance requirements. From multiple performance and 360 templates in one solution, to customized signoff and submission process, to tailored job-roles that are designed exclusively for your business - Workstream Performance 7.0 will work exactly as business needs demand.

Single, Global Solution

Performance 7.0 is the most flexible, global solution supporting all languages. This enables managers and employees to set goals, complete assessments and manage all aspects of their performance process in their local languages. While administrators and executives are able to view overall information in their local language - all in the same solution.

The most important asset of any organization is their people. A unified performance management solution ensures businesses get the greatest return on the investment they make in their workforce. By having all the information needed in one solution, managers can better align workforce performance with business goals and tie compensation directly to outstanding performance.
