SPECTRUM Ramps Up HR System Performanceó Release Takes Performance Management Full Circle

SPECTRUM Human Resource Systems Corporation announces that the latest release of its human resource software will include 360 Performance Reviews. Multi-source feedback is known to be broader in scope and more balanced than single-source, and thus invaluable for the perspective it gives employees. By incorporating this functionality into an organizationís HRIS, HR can save a substantial amount of time on the administrative tasks associated with performance reviews.

ìThis release of iVantage reflects how SPECTRUM encompasses the changing HR needs and expectations with technology,î comments Sybll Romley, president and CEO of SPECTRUM. ìOur goal is to help HR professionals shift their energy from administrative tasks to strategic development and planning.î

By integrating 360 Performance Reviews into a complete HR system, organizations can decrease the amount of time HR spends on administrative tasks related to reviews. Using the self-service feature, the reviews can be administered effortlessly. All those participating in the review can receive automatic reminders that they need to complete the process; and the submitted results can be routed electronically for approval. The employee being reviewed is able to view anonymous responses after their manager has reviewed and edited the responses.

ìThe 360 feedback is a great enrichment to iVantage and its ability to integrate all aspects of HR. The extensive reporting features can show where the process is and compile and analyze the process as a whole, in groups or by individuals,î states Lori Ericson, vice president of Development. ìiVantage gives HR a full picture of an employee and their career path.î
