Creelman Research Whitepaper: Managing Employee Performance Through the Down Cycle

Managing Employee Performance Through the Down Cycle:
Applying Performance Management Technology

Creelman Research

Performance management systems, when put on-line, provide at least three powerful tools for CEOs managing through a downturn:

  1. Better Decisions: Better insight into individual performance helps you make informed decisions
  2. More Maneuverability: Improved ability to manage goals allows your organization to change directions faster
  3. Tighter Control: An opportunity to tighten the reins so that everyone remains strictly on track.

It’s not surprising that employee performance management software would be important in a downturn. A 2006 study by CedarCrestone showed that companies who use performance management software have higher operating income growth. Anything that can positively affect income is a coveted advantage in a downturn.
