“As a software company, it’s important for us to empower our employees by using
the latest performance management technology. Our employees expect us to provide
them with processes that are efficient and easy to use and emPerform delivers
just that.” Angela Finlay, Director of HR for Geosoft Inc.
Ottawa, ON – July 16, 2013: CRG emPerform, a leading provider of online
talent management software, is pleased to announce that they were selected as the
employee performance management solution vendor of choice for Geosoft Inc. and has
helped the company to realize its vision of creating a consistent and
streamlined global performance management strategy.
Ranked
as a Top 150 Technology Company (2012 Branham300), and one of the Top Ten Best
Workplaces in Canada (2009 Great Place to Work Institute), Geosoft Inc. has
always been focused on properly developing and engaging its highly-skilled
global workforce. “As a software company, it’s important for us to empower our
employees by using the latest performance management technology. Our employees
expect us to provide them with processes that are efficient and easy to use and
emPerform delivers just that.” Angela Finlay, Director of HR for Geosoft Inc.
Geosoft began its search
for a performance management vendor online and at the 2012 Annual HRPA
Conference & Expo in Toronto, ON. “Our requirements were simple but definitive,"
said Finlay. “We needed a provider with a cloud-based tool that would be simple
to set up, would be easy for our people to understand and use, and would allow
us to implement role-based competency appraisal forms and workflows.”
Geosoft narrowed its
search to four vendors. “After a closer look at software providers, emPerform
was clearly the only solution that met all of our needs.” Geosoft Implemented
emPerform in the winter of 2012 and has since succeeded in realizing the
focused and consistent talent management strategy it had envisioned. “The
implementation process was impressive – hands down the easiest implementation
I’ve ever been involved in. The global access issue we had with our previous
paper process has been solved completely and our 2012 performance evaluation
process was extremely smooth. A great success across the board for employees, managers,
and HR.”
Since
implementing emPerform, Geosoft has been able to provide one practical
platform consistently to all global locations and employees. The new solution has
automated cumbersome manual assessment processes, allowing Geosoft to transition
smoothly to a job-specific competency assessment model, increasing the accuracy
and fairness in employee reviews, and resulting in unprecedented performance
reporting and status tracking.
Without emPerform,
Geosoft would have had to create and maintain over 80 Word™-based appraisal forms
in order to execute its redefined appraisal model. emPerform’s flexible
platform has allowed Geosoft to create the custom roles and forms they needed and
will allow them to copy these forward for subsequent years.
“We are thrilled to work
with fellow Canadian companies like Geosoft to help simplify manual performance
management processes,” said John Smith, Director of Enterprise Business
Solutions for CRG emPerform. “Geosoft put a lot of work into creating well defined
role-based competencies and we are happy to provide the solution to automate
and enhance those processes.”
