                      Small telecommunications company selects OMNI Leadership's Performance
                      Management module to address their desire for a more efficient, automated process
                      that would help them focus and align employee efforts with the goals of the
                      corporation.

                      They wanted to simplify their process and provide a reliable measure of performance
                      that would help drive incentive pay decisions.

                      performance goals to employees. Prior to reviewing available performance
things"               management technology providers, they established the following decision criteria:

                         Ability to link both individual goals and department goals to corporate goals
- Peter Drucker          Multi-rater/360 survey capabilities in addition to goal setting capabilities
                         Ability to measure performance on competencies related to leadership,
                           customer service, and key aspects of their corporate culture.
                         Ability to integrate aspects of their existing process
                         Access to consulting expertise and guidance on process design decisions
                         Affordability
                         Practicality and ease of use for managers
                         Quick and easy implementation with limited training demands

                      SOLUTION

                      OMNI's Performance Management module met all their decision criteria. They were
                      particularly impressed with the quality and quantity of the consulting support and
                      guidance that was offered. Two free days of consulting time with an experienced
                      industrial psychologist was a compelling component of the proposed solution.

                      Omni’s consultant reviewed their existing process and content to identify important
                      elements to retain. Custom competency models were created for their key job
                      families.

                      There is clarity on the priorities for all individuals and regular discussions on progress
                      toward goals. The results of these discussion and inputs from others are being captured
                      and consolidated in the performance journals. Leaders and employees alike are pleased
                      with the process and content improvements.
