Digital Performance Management Systems
Digital performance management systems have completely changed how HR will track, evaluate, and improve employee performance. Leaving the traditional annual review behind, these systems allow for continuous feedback, goal setting, and performance tracking in real time. They make decisions that are data-driven possible and ensure improvement in employees' productivity and satisfaction.

📑Key Concepts and Theories
Goal-Setting Theory: Proposed by Edwin
Locke, this theory stated that clear, challenging goals should be set in order
to motivate employees. Digital systems can help HR in setting, tracking, and
updating individual and team goals, so they are aligned with organizational
goals.
Behavioural Theory: It can also incorporate
elements of behavioural psychology with immediate feedback and rewards for good
behaviour that leads to continual improvement.
📑Current Trends and Practices
Continuous Feedback: Both Workday and
Lattice provide for continuous feedback loops, where an employee and manager
can share regular performance insights and development feedback.
Data-driven insights: 15Five and similar
tools provide a range of analytics covering employee engagement, progress
towards goals, and performance metrics. HR can leverage all this to obtain
trends and offer personalized support.
Integration with Employee
Development: Most
of the platforms are offering features related to learning modules or training
resources linked to certain performance metrics, assuring employees that they
will have resources after going into development needs.
Adobe's Check-In System: Adobe dropped the annual
performance review in favor of a continuous feedback system, entitled
"Check-In." At the beginning of the year, the manager and employee
set expectations, but then hold regular one-on-one meetings to review progress
and discuss development. Since adopting this digital approach, Adobe reports an
increase in employee engagement and a reduction in voluntary turnover.
