    Engaged to provide business to business expansion of new markets.Enabling high-performance teams to gain greater heights by capturing those snippets of conversations that guide employees. Populating & enhancing formal employee performance review conversation with all of the day to day, informal supervisor interactions often missed as you’re not lugging your cumbersome diary around.Capture these interactions & have them reported back through a highly intuitive app & reporting software.Evaluate workforce productivity, compare feedback records, benchmark team performance and identify trends. It’s not just about bad performance, it’s helping supervisors highlight positive activity and shine a light towards a known path to performance. It encourages the delivery of balanced feedback with visual cues for leaders.Importantly, it will also reduce legal risks by improving the quality and quantity of performance feedback through demonstrating substantive & procedural fairness: ensuring termination is not “harsh, unjust or unreasonable.” Provide employees every chance to improve by making them aware – in writing and verbally – of performance issues quickly. Any appearance in front of the Fair Work Commission can be daunting & the FWC will want evidence of written warnings and counselling sessions. that are factual with examples and dates.
