LightWork Performance Management is a dynamic performance management system for small to medium-sized companies that helps identify strengths and areas for improvement in employee performance. Managers and employees alike can define and set individual employee goals and personal development plans for career and company success.

LightWork Performance Management helps organizations decide on future goals and objectives that can be set to appear on appraisals for effective assessment and follow-up. Employee journals help managers gather the material necessary for an accurate portrayal of an employee, encompassing their entire work year. Users can get a list of all employee appraisals, or use the appraisal filter to create a list specific to particular needs.

Lightwork’s ‘9 Box Classification’ feature allows users to classify employees based on their performance and potential, as well as determine their prospects within the company. The 360-degree feedback tool provides organizations with a comprehensive view of the workforce. Users can also access employee data via the visual analytics dashboard and view a variety of different graphs.

LightWork Performance Management includes features for setting appointments and creating review groups such as peer review, collaborative review, or supervisors only. The system includes a word check feature that helps reduce errors in appraisals and other documents and identifies any language that could be considered inappropriate.
