PERFORMANCE
How is performance appraisal conducted in Synergo?
Performance Appraisal is the systematic evaluation of the performance of employees and to understand the abilities of a person for further growth and development.
Our platform evaluates the performance of an employee from two sides: their targets and their skills. An employee’s target consists of their goals, KPIs and accomplishments in day-to-day tasks; whereas their skills consists of soft skills and technical abilities. An overall understanding of these two parts will give employers a more holistic view of an employee.
Our platform conducts employee performance appraisal by having the employees and employer give reviews – i.e. a two-way review. Any feedback and opinions provided are left anonymous to avoid office politics and negative sentiments between staff.
What kinds of reviews are available?
We provide three kinds of reviews: Self, Manager and 360° Review. 360° Reviews are done on a 3-month basis (or another pre-set, specific time period)
When giving review scores, managers, peers and subs can be assigned different weights (eg 60% for managers, 40% for 360 feedback) which will affect an employee’s overall review score.
Most systems can only review goals or competencies. In our system, managers, peers and subs can review both.
WORKFLOWS
What is a Kanban Board?
A Kanban Board is a visual system for managing work as it moves through a process. The goal of Kanban is to identify potential bottlenecks in your process and fix them so work can flow through it cost-effectively at an optimal speed or throughput.
In Kanban, each piece work is defined as a Card, and the card goes through Stages as it journeys from incomplete to complete.
What are the ways I can use a Kanban Board? How can Kanban be a solution for my company?
Kanban introduces a new level of efficiency into a project because it lets you see where your project is at any given time. You can drill down further and see who is doing what and what they need to move forward.
What types of industries are Kanban boards usually used for?
Synergo strives to serve a variety of fields. We have helped various industries, from the education sector (Binus), automotive sector (Astra), to real estate (Ciputra). Each of our clients mainly uses Synergo for performance management, where tasks can be monitored on a daily basis.
