Solution Overview
With today's pace of business, one of the biggest challenges facing leaders is the development of strategic direction to keep people focused on tasks required for success. The BLOOM® Performance Management System offers the following key solutions to align your people with strategy. Once you follow the six-step methodology for implementing the system, your organization will be online with the following features within 30-60 days:
Wage Alignment
Create custom wage scales for all your company roles. Use the wage scale analysis feature to get a departmental, organizational, or company perspective on whether your compensations are competitive and consistent across positions and per employee.
Role Description Integration
Enter competencies, skills, proficiencies, education, training, and customizable KRAs (Key Result Areas) for every position in your organization. The result is a role description with a uniform format across departments - not just an uploaded file. It is then fully integrated with routine performance reviews.
Employee Goal Setting
Employees can define personal goals for professional improvement. These goals are then weighted and integrated into the employee's performance review to make sure the individual is reaching the full potential within his/her position and progressing along his/her long-term career plan.
Learning & Development
Create training classes and programs and assign them to role descriptions. Track individual employee training hours and scores to ensure that every employee has up-to-date education. Show your employees you value them and are willing to invest in their development.
Performance Planning
Get a custom evaluation and performance plan for each employee based on the role requirements you define. Every review is based on exact measurable requirements for that particular role - pulled directly from their role description - making it easy to see an individual's performance, areas for improvement, and fit for the position. Define regularly scheduled manager reviews as well as self-evaluations using a five-point rating system. This feature facilitates clear communication between managers and employees.
Performance Log
On a daily or weekly basis, managers can post employee performance incidents in a log that automatically date stamps the time of entry. This feature is easy and great for accumulating reference documentation required throughout the performance planning process.
Company Growth Plan
Develop company initiatives, objectives, goals and action plans that are viewable by all employees and editable by assigned employees. Track deadlines, budgets, and team progress. The Growth Plan is fully integrated into individual performance planning tracking. This feature makes communication about important strategies easy and streamlined.
Dashboard & Reporting Features
Every employee has access to a custom dashboard based on his/her assigned level of security. Individual employees can view their role descriptions, assigned goals, strategic assignments, training, and performance reviews. Manager level security provides access to his/her team member's role descriptions, assigned projects, and performance reviews.
Information Center
Upload company files such as policies and procedures, post corporate news, and share community information such as birthdays and years of service. Create website links to information you want to share. Employees can post their professional goals in a professional networking area where they can receive peer feedback and support. All these features add another layer of communication consolidated in one convenient place and accessible by every employee in your organization.
