Why HRN?

Extraordinary Customer Service
We can safely say you won't find better customer support— anywhere. We don't just talk about providing professional, courteous, and prompt assistance when you need it. We do it!

A Performance Management And Employee Development Solution Designed By HR Experts
Performance Pro was designed by human resource managers and consultants with decades of experience. We understand HR.

A Practical And Simple Approach
Appraisal and development tools are useless if they're not simple to use and easily implemented. We also understand that your employees' time is valuable. These concerns have always been a priority as we've designed Performance Pro and provide ongoing improvements.


Factor & Goal Evaluation

Evaluate Factors & Goals
Each factor, or goal, can be quickly rated by sliding the scoring bar. An employee's current score may be compared with the rating received on the last appraisal. Compare employees' current scores with ratings received on their last appraisals, or compare them with other employee scores. Goals, an optional element in Performance Pro, are evaluated in the same way.

Optional self-appraisal function creates a valuable, collaborative review process.

Coaching
Comment coaching helps supervisors overcome the 'blank page syndrome.'

Constructive, concise feedback suggestions are available for each factor evaluated.

Brief statements may be inserted into comment fields allowing the appraiser to complete the thought as it pertains to the employee.


Development

Setting Goals
Goal setting is an excellent development tool to address an employee's individual needs or to measure areas not specifically covered by the established factors. Organizational objectives can be cascaded down strategically by employee, position, or department.
