ERP Revolution in Performance Management
of Employees
In order to improve worker management,
evaluation of performance is an essential field in firms (Cappelli & Conyon, 2018). Workers and Emplopyees
are the foundation of any industry and business since they help to advance
organizational growth to a greater degree. Thus, employee appraisal and
performance management are a necessary identification in any organization (DeNisi & Murphy, 2017).
How successfully an employee is
doing their job is evaluated and documented through the performance evaluation
process. A company's performance management system includes it.
Performance appraisal can be done in different
methods and different process steps can be used in understanding and applying
the performance appraisal in the organizations (Kim & Holzer, 2016). This is a highly
needed identification. Some of the common steps are explained in the following
figure. Understanding these stages is necessary to make sure the performance
appraisal is undertaking effectively (Kampkötter, 2017).

ERP software are using in the employee
performance appraisal in many different organizations. ERP is standing for Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP). This
type of software is mainly used in different areas such as operations,
marketing, finance and HR (Aljarrah, 2021; Bostan, et al., 2019). These ERP software has higher level of
effectiveness and thus, usage is significant in making proper decisions.
Different systems are there in the industry usage in ERP systems and the
figure here is providing the examples of the ERP systems available in the industry
(Elbahri, et al., 2019).

There are several advantages in using the
ERP systems in the performance appraisal planning. This is a huge necessity and
thus, it is identified as a critical identification (Antero, 2015).
Following are the advantages of the ERP
system usage in performance appraisal
·
Data
accuracy is higher in using ERP systems and this is providing a better insight
in managing successful performance appraisal process.
·
The
system provides the truth regarding the performance levels of the employees in
the organization.
·
Visibility
and flexibility in the ERP system is higher with the performance appraisal
applications.
·
There is
a very higher security in data and there is a very higher quality in data as
well.
·
Successful
supply chain management practices can be applied in organization with the
application of better ERP systems.
·
Customizable
level in the results and the reports are higher in the ERP management systems.
·
Cost effectiveness
level is very higher in ERP systems than the other appraisal methods.
Once applying the ERP system in one place,
it is highly applicable in the other areas as well. There are many such areas
that the ERP systems application can be applied as shown in the following
figure (Hustad, et al., 2016). Organizations can use these methods in the
activities handling and make sure the outcomes are generating in effective
level to deliver most optimized outcomes. thus, it is identified that ERP
systems are highly needed in the organizations to deliver the expected results
in the future.

Conclusion
I believe that every quarter year Employee performance evaluation will
result in positive way in company growth. If not quarterly, minimum annual performance
appraisals would be required to motivate the employees as well as the
management progress. Not stopping with the employee performance appraisals, the
appraisal forms need to be updated with new areas. Sharing feedback by putting performance
standards in practice to employees for a minimum of one to two months would result
in another milestone to the organization’s growth. For all these processes an
ERP will be an added qualified system in performance management.

DeleteWhile thanking you for the above content sharing, as you mentioned, employee performance reviews should be conducted to advance and inspire employees. Appraisals also should be updated with new areas, and feedback should be given accordingly for them to overview where they stand for. Organizations should implement processes and practices to support employee performance with the benefits of people management, which ultimately improves productivity.
