So is there a better way? Absolutely! Our new Social Performance Management solution inside of tibbr now gives you an easy way to have regular conversations, and quickly store the outcome of those inside our Reviews module. Complexity is the enemy of quick and meaningful discussions, so we’ve pared it back to keep it simple and relevant. The result is something that quickly becomes meaningful and a helpful contribution to employee relations.

Use Teamly Reviews to monitor career development plans for all your direct reports, and see everyone at a glance from the management page. From here you can quickly access past reviews, as well as see when the next review is due.

The screenshot above shows a Career Development Plan for Ben. On the left hand side you can see the goals set at his last review. The right hand side is where the new goals are recorded, along with the comments from both Ben and his manager.

In the near future Teamly Reviews will use the rich information already stored in tibbr and Teamly to help prepare a review for you. Instead of staring at a blank sheet of paper, Teamly will aggregate messages of Recognition received, and goals completed, to provide a much truer picture of an employee’s performance throughout the year.

Companies that have an internal social network often see these types of messages, it’s just a reflection of the types of things colleagues are saying to each other in person. On the social network the benefit is that these messages can have a wider audience, leading to public recognition for your efforts. Previously, these messages might be hidden forever inside email.

Empower your employees and encourage them to send messages of thanks inside tibbr!

Teamly Recognition is a part of our Social Performance Management solution designed for tibbr. Employees can use it to send messages of thanks to each other from the “Thanks” tab inside Teamly, or from within any post on the tibbr wall, by tagging the message with #thanks. The benefit of sending thanks with Teamly is that we’ll automatically save those messages against the right person’s Teamly profile. At the next employee review managers will see an aggregated view of all the feedback received (and sent) by that person! It’s a great way to quickly see how engaged and valued that person is.

With Teamly Goals, part of our Social Performance Management product inside of tibbr, the process of creating, tracking and reviewing goals is made really easy!

In this screenshot, Ben sees his goals on the left hand side (current at the top, completed at the bottom). On the right hand side, “Subject” goals can be used by management to cascade down corporate goals, keeping everyone – quite literally – on the same page.

Creating a goal in Teamly is simple, and we support the well-known SMART framework:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Relevant
• Time-bound

Furthermore, a goal can be broken down into smaller chunks, or tasks. These tasks will  also appear inside your regular Teamly Tasks list, so you’ll never miss them.

You can even assign a specific task to a colleague, useful because it’s rarely the case a goal is entirely within your own control.

Because of the way tasks and goals connect together, as each individual task is marked as complete the progress of the related goal will be updated. It’s a quick and easy way to see how you’re doing at a glance.

The final step is to mark the goal itself as complete. When you do you’ll be asked if you want to share on the tibbr wall. A great way to share your achievement and to collect feedback from colleagues!

For full transparency, Teamly will link back to the original discussion about a task, and in our latest release we’ve added Task History view too. You can now see the full change log of a particular issue.

As you can see all tasks get a complete history. You can see who made changes and you can see how the values changed.

To top it off you can also subscribe (or unsubscribe) to these changes by following a task. As a follower of a task you will be notified by a private message on your tibbr wall. You can then use that post to discuss the change and its impacts, or in many case just feel better knowing a job you commissioned got completed.

Here are a couple of examples:

Questions workflow, we have observed many people using tibbr to ask questions. Now we have a workflow to ensure questions get answers. By default accounts start with a project “questions”. So, that means if you put “#question” in your tibbr post, it will setup all the required tracking.

Bugs workflows. Again, we have seen companies using tibbr to talk about bugs in code and systems. These conversations can now be tracked to resolution meaning more happy customers and less problems.

Interested to see how workflows are created, checkout our YouTube video on creating Teamly workflows.

So what are Teamly projects?

They are about actual projects within your company, unlike subjects which are about accountably. Projects are for grouping tasks within a scope. For instance a key customer, a significant process or well, a project.

What are the key benefits of projects?

Projects come with both a custom default workflow and a quick access #command. As well as letting you group all the tasks within a project for organization and management.

How can projects be used?

So lets take a use case, writing a blog your company. The project is called blog. Somebody comes up with a blog idea, so they post on tibbr “We should write a #blog post about the downtown project in las vegas” and of course they may attach a photo if they are out in the field with the tibbr mobile app.

After the user posts this, they go back to work. However, in the background, teamly picks up this post and because there is a “#blog”, a task is created and entered into the blog project and workflow. Meaning you can track from concept all the way through to publishing, all from a simple post by a person with an idea. Nice eh?

What is Teamly?

Teamly is a Social Performance Management solution integrated tightly with tibbr, the Social Network for Work. Teamly includes performance reviews, goal management, recognition, and task management. It’s also integrated with tibbr mobile and desktop apps.

Who is Teamly for?

Teamly helps companies – particularly those with a high proportion of knowledge workers – retain, engage and motivate their people.

What problem does Teamly solve?

Teamly brings performance and productivity management to the social arena inside tibbr. By increasing employee engagement, and increasing retention, companies can significantly improve performance.

Why should you choose Teamly?

There is a war for talent going on and you need the right tools to compete. The annual performance review has typically been seen as a chore, and traditional HR software often goes unused. Teamly makes goal setting and reviewing performance more social and engaging than ever before.

Teamly’s Social Performance Management software has 4 key parts:

Reviews

Turn periodic performance reviews into a painless process with Teamly Reviews, inside tibbr. Using data already stored on an employee’s Teamly profile a complete picture of employee performance in real-time emerges. A person’s Goals, Recognition and Tasks shared or created using Teamly and tibbr makes this a richer and more complete picture of performance.

Recognition

Employees are already using tibbr to praise colleagues for their success, Teamly Recognition allows that thanks to be easily captured on employee profiles. Individuals are able to build their reputation and managers are able to more easily recognize star performers.

Goals

Align employees around company goals and drive your organization’s performance. Goals created in Teamly are inherently social as they are posted on the tibbr wall. Colleagues’ comments of support and encouragement will be tied to that goal and visible any time by individual or manager.

Tasks

Teamly Tasks turns a flow of conversations into an organized list. Take discussions on the tibbr wall and turn them into actionable tasks. Conversations about products, customers or suppliers become part of an easy to manage task list right inside of tibbr.
