Performance Management

Request Demo Thoughtful performance management and equitable compensation together make a people-first partnership that is essential in today’s business environment.  When navigating the intricacies of the employee experience, it’s common to overlook compensation discussions and rely solely on performance and talent management processes to shape the employee’s path. That is an insufficient assessment of the employee journey. Recognizing the need for a synergistic relationship between performance/talent management and compensation, WorkDove and Kamsa have decided to enter into a new partnership. By combining Kamsa’s global expertise in compensation with WorkDove’s cutting-edge performance management platform, this alliance launches a revitalization of how organizations make compensation decisions and effectively manage employee performance. According to Gallup, organizations with highly engaged employees have 21% higher profitability and 17% higher productivity than organizations with a disengaged workforce. Research has also shown, according to SHRM, that 74% of HR professionals said inadequate compensation—pay, bonuses, profit sharing and the like—was the top reason employees leave their organization. Effective performance management and compensation are intrinsically linked; one cannot be optimized without the other.  Performance management (PM) by definition entails the ongoing exchange of communication and feedback between a manager and an employee, aimed at attaining organizational objectives. Of the 250 largest companies in the S&P 500, 83 percent tie at least some employee income to performance. When PM processes are combined with equitable compensation practices, organizations can drive higher overall levels of engagement and productivity. This holistic approach ensures that employees are motivated, satisfied, and aligned with the company’s values and goals. Most importantly, it shows employees they are valued by their leaders and organization.  Kamsa: Global Market Benchmarking for Compensation Reviews Kamsa is a global compensation software, built by compensation experts, making it painless to pay employees fairly.
