It is literally impossible for every employee to deliver a ‘rockstar’ performance every workday. And no single individual can contain all the knowledge, skills and capacity required to achieve a company’s goals. You need effective teams—groups of people who can get along with each other, contribute meaningfully, pick up the slack as needs or availability changes, and keep each other accountable.

Employee performance management, or EPM, has changed dramatically over the years. Gone are the days of simple performance reviews and in-depth systems that combine technology, ongoing feedback, and strategic alignment with corporate objectives. EPM has become a vital component in today’s dynamic work environment, driving organizational performance and flexibility as well as evaluating and boosting individual employee contributions.
