Moving performance to the next level
Faber Halbertsma Group is one of Europe’s preeminent suppliers of sustainable pallet products and pooling services. With their in-house pallet production partners, well established pooling service providers and local presence, they can offer a fitting solutions for any pallet requirement. Their offices and manufacturing sites in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, France and Spain were all running different people development processes. This included their performance appraisal process, which was done solely on paper (if even done at all). None of them linked into a central database which often made it difficult to get real insight into the data, and they lacked a view of their workforce development. Not to mention, a paper appraisal process is challenging to manage when you have so many employees across Europe. Faber Halbertsma Group realised it was time to go digital for their appraisal process, both helping the managers and helping to develop and encourage their employees.
For us, the most important thing is that we wanted to create a different way of working together. Transparency and perspective have been extremely important to us in this process and that is how we have designed it.
Transporting appraisals to a digital space
They began their switch to digital appraisals long before they settled on eloomi as the tool to facilitate their goals. The Faber Halbertsma Group started by bringing together teams of HR, managers, and employees to collect information on what the process should look like and to create a best practice appraisal process. They then began their search for a digital appraisal solution to help the C-Suite reach their goals of insight into the workplace to see who was in each position and why. Most importantly, the focus was on how each employee plays a part in helping implement the purposes of the organisation. Once they decided their ideal process and their ideal solution to help them facilitate it, they then created internal ambassadors for the new solution’s implementation.
The digitalisation gives us the opportunity to quickly check whether everyone has received an appraisal and follow up on the goals set and developmental needs identified. It also allows us to follow up on a different level - quality of the targets set, internal alignment, talent programs, and reviewing our population from a longer-term workforce planning perspective.
