Employee Performance Management Tools: Best Software to Measure Performance
Farin Lesch, director of HR at HR Transformed, agreed, emphasizing how the right software can keep managers on top of evaluations — and employees aware of their standing.
“Many companies that don’t utilize software find that they are behind on performance reviews and leave employees disappointed or unaware of their performance,” Lesch noted.

When choosing an employee performance management tool, Lesch recommends starting with a clear understanding of your audience. For example, does your team want all the bells and whistles, or do they prioritize a simpler, more intuitive and user-friendly design?

Finally, remember that training shouldn’t begin or end with a specific tool or initiative. Lesch stressed the importance of educating and training managers as soon as they step into a leadership role.
“Learning how to be fair and unbiased is a learned behavior,” Lesch said. “If a business puts time into staff to teach them how to pour more into their teams, they will see their staff engaged in meeting company goals.”

7 Signs It’s Time to Hire Your First HR Person
“If you’re constantly being pulled away from your actual work to handle employee issues, hiring, onboarding, benefits, payroll, policy updates, compliance, or just being the go-to for every quick HR question, it adds up fast,” Allyns Melendez, CEO of HR Transformed, told us.
“Maybe it’s a termination you’re not sure about, or a complaint that’s tough to navigate,” said Melendez. “Maybe you’re just wondering, ‘Am I doing this the right way?’ When your gut says, ‘I don’t want to get this wrong,’ that’s your signal [to hire someone to help with HR].”
“More employees means more questions, more risk, and more policies that need to be created or cleaned up,” said Melendez. “That kind of growth can slow you down if you don’t have the right structure in place.”
When recruiting an HR person, it can be helpful to start with referrals and a clear vision. “Talk to other business owners or founders and see who they’ve worked with and trusted,” said Melendez. “And be honest about what success looks like. If your HR person needs constant direction, you haven’t solved the problem. You want someone who can jump in, support your team and run with it.”
