Incompass Labs transforms qualitative performance management into quantitative and scalable assessments, automating performance calibration with 2x accuracy and 4x speed.🪄 SolutionIncompass converts workforce management into precise, quantifiable evaluations. It streamlines performance calibration, making it more efficient, accurate, and scalable across your organization.Through smart analytics, Incompass pinpoints potential areas of concern such as flight risks, underperformers, unrecognized talent, culture influencers, and possible biases.🔬 ScienceIncompass captures a statistical connection between the quality of assessments that someone provides and the quality of assessments that someone gets from others. In other words, top performers not only get better scores from their peers, but they are also better at assessing the relative quality of their peers.This greater degree of validity enables Incompass to automatically identify and normalize potential biases associated with race, gender, or other factors.📊 InsightsIncompass offers a high-fidelity distribution of employee rankings across core competencies.Our algorithm creates a comprehensive view of employee performance across teams and business units, based on "the wisdom of the crowd" across your organization.By aligning your talent management agenda with employee development needs, Incompass enables the quick identification of top performers and promotes the effective recognition, reward, and retention of talent.⚖️ CalibrationThe precise quantitative nature of Incompass makes it ideally suited for the toughest HR management challenge: performance calibration, i.e., the complex process that companies use to determine salaries and bonuses. It substantially reduces the massive amount of time/effort/politics currently required to make these critical decisions.As the old saying goes, “you can’t manage what you can’t measure” – and we greatly enhance the ability to do both.
