STARway's Employee Performance Management helps fast-growing companies like yours whether for-profit, institutional or non-for-profit excel.

How?  Through these unique STARway advantages:

1.

Increasing Employee Performance because STARway’s unique Performance Mapping methodology translates for each employee WHAT work is needed and HOW work should be carried out.   

This Two-Dimensional approach to employee performance shapes the employee’s behavior and competency and focuses it on achieving your organization’s goals.

2.

Implementing Time-Tested, Fortune 1000 Best Practices in an easy-to-use, quick-to-implement and affordable workforce management solution for middle-market companies.   

STARway’s employee performance management solution was designed and is continuously enhanced for and by middle-market organizations.  You get the tools essential for maximizing your employee performance without the “noise” associated with other “one size fits all” solutions.

3.

Assuring that the Right Employee Fits the Right Position because unlike others in the employee performance management market, with STARway a unique Performance Map is created for each position using a statistically validated competency system. 

Using STARway’s third-party validated system ensures that you are following EEOC regulations mandating the use of validated tools to determine employee selection and performance management. While the performance map combines the traditional job description and the traditional annual appraisal into one document.

4.

Hiring the Right Employees through STARway’s customized Employee Selection Interview Guides.

Developed in collaboration with you and personalized for each employee position, Interview Guides reduce interviewer subjectivity and standardizes the process for consistent “across-the-board” hiring practices.   With STARway’s Employee Selection Interview Guides, managers know the right questions to ask to uncover the behaviors and competencies essential for achieving a position’s requirements.

5.

Minimizing Subjectivity and Conflict associated with employee performance reviews and annual performance appraisals through STARway’s customized Employee Performance Assessment Guides.

Personalized for each employee position and evaluated against behavioral and competency criteria, your employee performance reviews reach new levels of precision.  With STARway, you use multi-point feedback (like a 360 survey yet more powerful) for qualitative feedback and competency objectives for quantitative feedback.   In combination with an employee’s Performance Map, this powerful, two-dimensional methodology instills objectivity into the process and delivers a comprehensive employee assessment.

Interview Guides reduce managers’ subjectivity, discomfort and inefficiency associated with interviewing, performance appraisals and development plans.  STARway helps standardize your employee selection and assessment processes and  ensures consistency and fairness across your organization.

6. Integrating Employee Performance Best Practices created from years of academic research from Harvard Business School, The Balanced Scorecard Collaborative and Jim Collins' works in Good to Great with proven “in–the-field” practices from Fortune 1000 companies. 

What if with pinpoint accuracy you could select the right employees for the right strategic initiatives or for the right employee development programs?  Today, your dreams can be a reality with STARway’s employee performance management reporting tools.  Intuitive and simple-to-use in just a few, quick steps the right candidates are at your fingertips.  Your employee selection criteria ranges from:

  • Behavioral

  • Competency

  • Past performance

  • Position level

  • And many more classifications 

7.

Getting Employees to do the Right Thing in the Right Way from the Start through Multi-point feedback (better than 360 degree surveys) and individualized Performance Maps.

STARway’s proprietary workforce management solution uses Performance Maps which  combine the traditional job description and the traditional annual appraisal into one document.

Like the annual appraisal, a Performance Map is used for assessment. Like the job description, it is provided to the employee at the beginning of the performance year. In other words, performers start the year with the final examination already in hand!

8.

Reduced Cost of Ownership through STARway’s low “per-employee, per-year subscription” with seamless integration and scalable for growing middle market organizations with 10 to 1,500 employees.

STARway delivers all of the essential employee performance management tools for growing middle market organizations.  Designed and continually enhanced by our clients through quarterly user group sessions, you receive best practices that work for small and medium size businesses.  Unlike other alternatives with complicated work flows, "flashy" bells and whistles, impersonal support and resource-intensive implementations - you get what you need to skyrocket employee performance.

9. Accessing a Single Point for On-Demand Employee Performance Management with historical plus on-going records of assessments and expectations.  This alone saves you more than STARway costs!  No more duplicate files, no endless hours paper shuffling, no IT staff to add, and no hardware or software to purchase either!  In fact, STARway frees up an abundance of administrative hours that can be spent on money-making activities.
10. Leveraging “On-Demand” 365 / 24 / 7 Access to the STARway web-accessed application. No equipment is needed other than a standard internet connection.  So your managers can access STARway from home or work to complete their workforce management tasks!
11. Protecting Employee Data with 100% Secure, Confidential and Password-protected access because each organization has its own account with its own administrative login and each User (employee) in each organization may have his or her own login to selected data including regional offices versus corporate.
