Introducing Continuous Performance Management (CPM)

This section provides an overview of Continuous Performance Management (CPM) and information regarding the configuration decisions you will make during implementation.

With Continuous Performance Management, employees can better track and manage their performance efforts, create activities toward performance and development goals, display achievements, and have ongoing 1:1 conversations.

Continuous Performance Management (CPM) helps organizations adapt and respond to changing conditions, increasing the need to go beyond the traditional manager-employee relationship.

Organizations need a platform for structuring these multiple roles to allow for ongoing conversations while managing and tracking performance.

Employees can capture and track activities, view a summary of their achievements, create achievements based on completed activities, and request real-time feedback to give managers and other roles greater visibility into employee effort. Managers can also add activities on behalf of their direct reports and display achievements.

Activities, achievements, and feedback are the main focus of a conversation between an employee and a manager. Still, CPM also allows for other agenda items in the Discussion Topics to give quick, concise feedback.

The CPM feature is integrated with SAP SuccessFactors Goal Management and Performance Management. CPM provides additional details about the effort spent on goals, giving raters additional data when rating those goals on performance forms.
