WorkSimple Commentary
“Every great manager strives for better goal management and better team communication, but traditional tools make it a near-impossible task,” says Morgan Norman, CEO and co-founder of WorkSimple. “Do your employees know that your goals are? Chances are, they don’t. In fact, most employees can’t name the top goals of the organization. That’s because the goals don’t mean anything to them personally. There’s no connection, no engagement between their goals and their coworker’s goals. As a result, there’s no widespread collaboration, despite enterprise collaboration tools used, like Salesforce.com’s Chatter or Yammer. It all comes down to goals—and most companies fail the test. WorkSimple’s Business Goal Software solves the problem.”
“Performance is not just an HR item, or a review, it happens every day. With WorkSimple’s Business Goal Software, companies of any size can publish goals and goal progress in near real-time. You don’t need to wait for a town hall to get an update,” says Ben Moore, CTO and co-founder of WorkSimple. “Why would you develop a project plan in PowerPoint, e-mail or Word only to lose track of the vision? Business Goals Software is not about a performance review or visiting goals once a year. It’s about team development—and that happens every day.”
The bottom line: To drive better business results, you must drive employee engagement and morale. Business Goal Software is revolutionizing management, coaching, and feedback. It’s just one way WorkSimple reaches its goal of helping any manager be a great manager.
