Employee Review/Goal Management Features

Streamlined performance reviews and goal management

EchoSpan's online Performance Review and Goal Management solutions are supported in three editions: Basic, Standard and Managed. The Basic Edition is best for minimizing costs or if you want to manage your own feedback projects don't require a lot of support. Standard support solutions provide additional assistance in setup and ongoing phone support in case you have questions and need quick answers. Managed solutions cost a little more and offer supporting services that provide a hands-free experience for your administrators as well as robust support for your end-users.
