Business Benefits

Increased Productivity:

  • The real-time ranking generates a context of internal competition. The best performers will work hard to stay on top; those at the bottom will work hard to climb up.
  • Another reason for increased productivity is the immediate feedback which employees receive: they can fix their performance NOW, before the end of business.
  • Finally, best performers become an immediate and visible example that great results are actually possible - this eliminates the excuse that “targets are unrealistic”.

Training Benefits. Armed with the insights from the screen, the floor manager can identify specific problems in the work of individual employees and correct them early on.

Invest in the Right People. Unlike investment in a piece of machinery, the investment in people is tricky - you will find out whether hiring someone was the right choice only later on. The real time ranking helps distinguish good from bad investments much quicker.

The Day at a Glance. At any given moment during the business day, the business managers can get an immediate and precise answer to the question “How are we doing today?”

Less Supervision. With the real time ranking in place managers do not have to be supervisors - now everyone knows how he or she is doing. Instead the manager's time is better spent analysing, training and in general focusing on more important business issues.

Compensation = Results. The real-time ranking gives two important tools to tie employees’ compensation and results. First, there is an objective and measureable criterion which promotes a culture of merit-based compensation. Second, the compensation can be immediate, which makes it much more effective as a motivational tool.
