How can you boost your team’s performance with Totara Perform?

Better clarity and value to feedback
Employees benefit from clearer and more valuable feedback from a wider number of sources and can be measured against transparent goals, meaning they know what they’re working towards and how to reach their employee development plan goals. Agreed targets are displayed on employee Totara Perform dashboards, bringing performance progress into the everyday.

Opportunities to identify skill gaps

To ensure nothing is missed, Totara Perform also provides areas for adding offline development, certificates, and meeting outcomes for holistic staff overviews.

Seamless Management
Totara Perform ensures processes are kept consistent across your organisation, meaning a level playing field for all employees and clearly defined goals and feedback cycles. Furthermore, Perform integrates with Human Capital Management (HCM) tools such as payroll, recruiting and talent management so that data and metrics can be used in tandem with other performance analytics.

Versatile goal-setting
Use your goal-setting framework to increase performance levels. Totara Perform supports Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), SMART goals and other popular performance management frameworks. The same system is useful for implementing compliance training frameworks, establishing competency progression criteria and identifying areas for further compliance training.
