Effectively, managing employee performance has never been more critical. The goal of performance management is to use a set of integrated management practices designed to help achieve the two main objectives of maximizing employees’ potential and increasing employee satisfaction.

Why Goals are essential for your organization?
Organizations achieve their strategic business objectives by setting up organizational goals and linking them to the expected outcomes, thus successfully guiding employees’ efforts.
Organizations use cascading goals or translating goals from one level of the organization to the next to ensure alignment between the organization’s strategy and individual employees’ activities and goals. This is an effective way of achieving its overall strategic objective.

Organizations can continuously update employee effort, success probability, and comments with features like Mobile Goal Management. It helps organizations give managers more control over goal execution along with the ability to set cascading goals and see an individual, team, or company-wide progress.
Continuous Performance Management
Many surveys and studies show an overwhelming employee preference to receive feedback as they complete projects or through one-on-one meetings with their managers.
Continuous Performance Management, as the name suggests, takes place throughout the year on an ongoing basis. It is a continual holistic process, as opposed to the traditional annual appraisal-based system. Regular, more frequent feedbacks feels more natural for both manager and employee and help develop a more healthy, authentic workplace relationship.
Continuous Performance Management or CPM helps create near term objective and goal setting, regular one-to-ones (or “check-ins”), and real-time feedback. CPM brings transparency back into the traditional performance management process by limiting subjectivity and speculation.
SAP SuccessFactors Performance and Goals management now offers advanced and best-in-class CPM to stimulate more continuous dialogue and feedback between managers and employees, helping them have more structured conversations about how to align and improve performance.
