While there are some incredible performance management platforms and tools out there, many of them are designed and priced beyond the reach of small to mid sized businesses. To the rescue, comes Mashable, with 4 Simple Programs for Managing Employee Goals.
The post highlights the following programs. Click through to the Mashable post for more detail and information on each of them.
Lifetick Coach. The manager component to the Lifetick independent goal setting app, Lifetick Coach, is intended for life coaches or mentors to track their mentees’ progress. Price: $29 per month for up to eight employees.
Create SmartGoals. CreateSmartGoals is another hosted solution to managing employee goals. Managers can set goals for the entire organization, a specific department, or specific employees, who note their progress in a results journal. Price: $30 per month for up to 10 employees.
Goalscape. Goalscape is the ultimate tool for visualizing goals. Your company’s main goal (i.e. “make more money”) goes in the middle circle of the interactive infographic, and subgoals go around it. Price: About $12 per month.
WorkSimple. With WorkSimple, you can assign departments, employees and yourself goals, which are either visible to the entire company or to only the employee and manager. Employees report their own progress and check in on goals that are aligned with their own. Price: $60 per year.
Please note that I have not personally used these tools (although I am checking several of them out), so this post is intended not as an endorsement, but rather just to point you to some interesting possibilities!
