Advance's Performance Management System to Grow Sales and Reduce Cost Simultaneously

London, United Kingdom, February 19, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Organizational culture has a high impact on manager’s and leadership team effectiveness at and commitment towards performance management. As a result, it is important for an organization to encourage a high performance culture by ensuring that managers and employees understand business strategy and goals. And they are focused on the right priorities with a clear focus on delivering better quality results. Good performance management programs are inbuilt in the culture and occur throughout the year instead of just during the annual review cycle.

For employee performance management, using integrated software, rather than a spreadsheet based recording system, may deliver a significant return on investment through a range of direct and indirect sales benefits, operational efficiency benefits and by unlocking the latent potential in every employees work day.

With a good performance management program in place, managers indicated that employees hit 21.5 percent more of their goal targets. Similarly, employees estimated that with an effective performance management system, they achieve 8.3 percent more of their goals.

An ideal Performance Management & Development process brings positive impact through several avenues.

> Improves employee engagement because everyone understands how they are directly contributing to the organizations high level goals

> Professional development programs are better aligned directly to achieving business level goals

> Create transparency in achievement of goals

> Integrates individual Performance Development with incentives/bonus, learning impact and greater goals of the organisation.

> Helps audit / comply with legislative requirement

> Improved management control
