Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face unique challenges in managing employee performance effectively while staying within budget. Evalflow’s Employee Impact Score (EIS) offers a groundbreaking solution that combines simplicity, AI-powered analytics, and affordability to help SMBs optimize workforce management. This article explores how EIS works and why it’s the ideal tool for SMBs looking to streamline their HR processes.
Why Traditional Performance Management Falls Short
Many SMBs rely on outdated performance management systems that focus on annual reviews or subjective ratings. These methods often fail to capture the full scope of an employee’s contributions, leading to missed opportunities for growth and development. Common issues include:
-
Inconsistent Documentation: Feedback and evaluations scattered across emails or spreadsheets.
-
Subjectivity: Manager biases influencing ratings.
-
Lack of Real-Time Insights: No way to track ongoing performance trends.
Evalflow addresses these gaps with its AI-driven Employee Impact Score, offering a centralized, data-driven approach that empowers businesses to make informed decisions.
What is Evalflow’s Employee Impact Score?
Evalflow’s EIS is a proprietary framework designed to quantify employee performance across multiple dimensions using impact fields. These fields are tailored to measure contributions in areas such as feedback quality, goal achievement, recognition, and team collaboration. Here’s how it works:
Core Features of EIS
-
Feedback Feed: A real-time feed showing all feedback for the logged-in user and their direct reports. Managers can view feedback across their teams or the entire organization, depending on their role.
-
Includes ratings, impact fields, and AI-powered search capabilities.
-
Allows users to ask questions like “Which employees consistently exceed goals?” or “What trends are emerging in team collaboration?”
-
Requests: Encourages employees to take initiative by requesting feedback from managers or peers.
