From the beginning, we work closely with you to help fine-tune our software for your unique needs. Together, we’ll determine those needs and appropriately implement our software and services.  

You may have well established policies and procedures, as well as a clear need. In those cases, we will help you in software implementation. You may be on the other end of the spectrum and want to develop an appraisal and feedback process. Naturally, consultation will be more in-depth and more services may be necessary.

For instance, we have access to top-notch external HR consultants. If necessary and with YOUR prior consent, we will utilize their expertise to ensure proper preparation and smooth implementation.

Let’s continue with a high-level view of our implementation process for a feedback system. 

Preparation and Internal Communication

Like snowflakes, no two feedback systems are alike. Therefore, implementation relies on preparation that is based upon your organizational structure and culture. To ensure meaningful analysis, it is best to begin with a pilot department and specific survey type to serve as a case study. Additional consultation may be necessary on what competencies and values are best to provide feedback for and the most effective practices for communicating feedback.

We will then help prepare your team for the feedback process and ensure buy-in through creating tailored communication drafts for your managers and employees, e.g.:

Implementation

Now that we are prepared and your communication strategy has been tailored, implementation can begin. Leadership starts from the top, and implementation should as well.  

For example, we’ve helped organizations, such as Statoil, Road Administration, ect., implement a more effective feedback process through increasing the reach and personalization of their internal communications by utilizing video messages from managers.   

Naturally, the scope of your HR project will determine the complexity of your specific implementation process. It can take as little as a few hours and as long as a month. If extensive system setup or integration with payroll and/or other systems is necessary, it will be the latter case. 

Regardless of the scope of your HR project, our software, people, and additional resources possess the capabilities to ensure seamless delivery.
