A performance management application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables managers to view and manage employee performance. Performance management apps typically include features for viewing employee progress toward goals, providing feedback on how well employees are doing their jobs, and analyzing the effectiveness of different company policies.

Performance management apps often share features with other employee management apps, such as recruiting apps, talent acquisition apps, HR automation apps, and employee onboarding & training apps. Some of the most popular performance management applications are ADP Workforce Now , Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Talent, and SAP SuccessFactors.

A performance management app can grow rapidly by demonstrating that it provides clear value to the key stakeholder groups for which it was designed. For example, a performance management app for first responders has very different growth strategy than an app for financial managers. A performance management app for first responders needs to demonstrate how it can help first responders be better at their jobs, and also needs to demonstrate that there are enough other first responders using the app that the users will receive timely information about emergency incidents.

A performance management app faces risks related to negligent or intentional mishandling of sensitive personal or company data, fraudulent activity by app users, and the violation of labor laws. Performance management apps should have robust access controls that allow managers on the platform to manage employee accounts with appropriate levels of access. If your app handles sensitive information you will want to ensure that all data is encrypted at rest. You should also provide managers with tools for monitoring account usage and user behavior in order to detect any fraudulent activity.
