Performance reviews have traditionally been a headache for both those being reviewed and those who have to carry them out. A report that encompasses an entire year of someone’s professional actions is going to be hard to remember, let alone be accurate. Performance appraisal software can help streamline the process with a 1-page fair summary. It enables managers to set predefined standards to assess employees, provide feedback, and make insightful decisions. Here are some of the best performance appraisal software for this year.

  • BambooHR

BambooHR is a great solution for companies that are expanding quickly and taking on new employees, especially small to medium-sized companies. It is a cloud-based system that is both intuitive and cost-effective while managing employee information. The Human Resources Information Service can be personalized to allow for specific company strategies. Features include 360º feedback, appraisal history tracking, and peer appraisals. You can also take advantage of compensation management, goal setting, and a self-service portal, all with a free trial period.

  • UltiPro

For small to larger businesses, UltiPro can simplify and enhance work experiences for employees throughout all levels of a company and not just for appraisals.

There is goal setting plus individual development plans. The free trial lets you explore all of these features and skills assessments, compensation management, and more.

  • Workday

Another tool for large firms is Workday Performance Management for managers, leaders, and HR to get a better overview of business operations. Not only is it ideal for improving organization, but it will also help to prepare a company for future growth. Aside from appraisals and skills assessments, employers can use Workday for compensation management, goal setting, individual plans, and a particular feature we liked was the ability to find skilled talent by searching job profiles. A handy feature is a messaging system to remind workers to update their information.
