Taleo’s Performance Management product line helps companies align objectives, provide feedback, and drive pay for performance initiatives. Aligning employee activities with key corporate initiatives can have a tremendous impact on corporate performance. Identifying, rewarding and retaining top performers is also a crucial part of talent management. Studies show that high performers in management and operations are 40% to 50% more productive than their peers. The key capabilities of the Taleo Performance suite include:
 |
Goal Alignment and Cascading GoalsCreating and communicating corporate goals is a critical step in ensuring that employee activities are focused on the highest impact areas. Taleo Goals provides total visibility and alignment up and down an organization. Goal forms are completely configurable and can accommodate any unique format, including SMART goals.

Everyday Performance Assessments and FeedbackPerformance assessments and feedback are critical to getting the best results out of every employee. Regardless of whether they are top, bottom or average performers every employee needs to know that their work is valued, what they are doing well and where they need to improve. Such feedback keeps employees engaged and gives them the blueprint for future development. Taleo’s easy to use social networking tools also ensure that managers, peers and other stakeholders can provide daily feedback to accelerate performance improvements.

Global Compensation ManagementPerformance-driven compensation programs focus and reward employees for meeting key objectives. This type of compensation is an important tool for creating a high-performance culture by recognizing, rewarding and retaining high performers. In practice, these programs can become complex, especially for global organizations. Taleo Compensation is the only global compensation solution that provides the fine grained control needed to create, administer and manage compensation programs that can be tailored to business units, roles and geographies. |
