HR In A Distributed World
Just over a year ago we released the first version of PerformanceHub into the world. Our plan was to first introduce it to UK based SMEs and worry about internationalisation once we had a good few customers. Well, that was the plan…..
Less than a year after it was first launched, PerformanceHub is being used in 17 countries on 4 continents!
So, what went wrong with the plan? Well nothing really, you’d be surprised by the number of UK companies that have operations dotted around the world. Working with these companies, we have seen how this distributed workplace challenges both Operations and HR.
Getting an effective performance management system in place in this distributed world is highly challenging and we’d say near impossible using anything other than a real-time online system. The feedback we have received from our customers has been tremendous. PerformanceHub is really helping their performance management process run smoothly even though employees are in many different timezones. Customers have also told us how PerformanceHub is helping them set and meet objectives even though the bulk of the team is on another continent.
That’s it. No special message here, we just wanted to tell you about how we’re spreading around the world and acknowledge the fact it’s challenging.
If you are faced with the challenge of performance management and operations in remote locations, we’d be happy to help.
