How AssessTeam Can Support Performance Management of Remote Teams During Coronavirus Crisis

While some sectors such as hospitality will experience a decline in demand over the next few months, (due to the Coronavirus), for the majority of sectors, (healthcare, food, education, web-bases services etc..), demand will be the same if not stronger and it is more critical than ever that we remain in a state of business as usual.

To support the covid-19  fight, businesses will need to be performing at their optimum, but they must be able to do that under extraordinary conditions, that being working in a sudden and almost absolute home-working capacity.  Google, Amazon, Linked-In, Microsoft, JP Morgan are just a few of the companies who are mandating or offering employees the chance to work from home, to help mitigate Covid-19

As a result of Covid-19, the homeworking revolution is happening over night and existing performance management  processes that rely on paper, regular face to face interaction or which aren’t cloud-based, will be rendered obsolete  in this new remote/home working environment.

Businesses must quickly adapt their processes to be able to effectively performance manage remote teams during the Covid-19 crisis and maintain high performance levels.

Deploying a state-of-the-art, cloud-based, performance management tool like AssessTEAM is a great way to ensure world-class performance management of remote teams during the Coronavirus threat period. Here’s why AssessTEAM could be a good fit for your remote working teams during this intense homeworking and remote working period.

AssessTEAM prides itself on having a world-class, low bandwidth, employee mobile evaluation app.  Using the AssessTEAM mobile App, remote managers and remote staff can access a low-bandwidth, streamlined version of the app, which enables managers to easily submit reviews of staff performance via the mobile app and employees can complete self-evaluations too, via the mobile app.

• 360-degree feedback can be done more easily via AssessTEAM’s cloud-based system than in a face-to-face, co-located capacity. Simply assign your remote staff with one or more evaluators, along with the ‘result areas’ to be rated on. You can group assign evaluators too, which can save a lot time.
• AssessTEAM also allows you to specify review periods, which can be weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly, and this will then generate trigger dates on which the system will email notify employees to complete appraisals at appropriate intervals until appraisals have been completed.
• AssessTEAM also has powerful online reporting and analysis functionality. You can review a range of aggregated performance reports which will help remote managers to both track and analyse the performance of remote workers. If you update the system with employee’s hourly rate and link in time sheet data you can then get project performance and project profitability reports giving your detailed insight into the performance of your remote team.
