Challenge

While important, conducting employee reviews is often a challenge in many organizations. Human resource employees invest a significant amount of time in preparing, managing and ensuring performance evaluations are delivered on time, while making sure they are accurate according to the latest guidelines and procedures. Instead, companies need to focus on identifying and developing human capital to remain competitive and to grow profitability. To be successful, it is important for human resource employees to shift focus from unproductive routines to developing the intellectual assets of an organization.

Opportunity
