Instead of dreading performance appraisal time, we show organizations how performance planning and appraisal can actually improve effectiveness while being an enjoyable experience. IAS is certified to provide organizations with a powerful web-application called TrakStar.
TrakStar is an easy-to-use program that streamlines and automates performance management and evaluation. It does this by promoting performance planning that creates measurable goals both standard to the position and unique to the person. Because all employees have a TrakStar account, everyone contributes to his or her own performance notes. TrakStar does all the work of collecting the data and assembling it into useful information. We can train you to use TrakStar as a coaching tool, as an employee feedback loop, and ultimately as an effective way to facilitate performance appraisals that are beneficial to the employee and the organization.
We guide you in aligning the aims of your organization to its purpose, assumptions, and core values. Then we compare the organization's strategies. This includes its programs, products, services, etc-to those aligned aims. We work with you to:

Our approach is different than typical team-building. We objectively analyze your team's culture, its goals, and the environment(s) in which it exists. Based upon the desired outcomes, we design a customized Growth and Progress (GaP) plan for your team to reach measurable performance objectives. Depending upon the situation, we use a number of different tools to improve the performance of your teams. We use:
Ultimately, IAS energizes your teams by creatively showing members how their strengths and style of learning can be matched or adapted to what they do on the team and how different teams can best interact with each other. Please contact us for more information.
Using powerful quantitative tools, managers learn to objectively identify and leverage each of their employee's personal dynamics in terms of:
Great, I got my promotion. Now what do I do?
Using different teaching methods, we teach your supervisors to distill all this information and use it effectively in the everyday management of their employees. Supervisors become confident in their management ability and employees increase their enjoyment and effectiveness at work.
IAS analyses each position using significant input from managers, subject matter experts, and any high performers. We develop a targeted JobModel and provide specific behavioral-based questions to use during interviews with final candidates. Candidate ProScans are then compared to the JobModel.
