The challenge

With more than 75 years in residential, commercial and industrial projects, the company had grown a large, multi-collar workforce. Its review process had not kept pace.

  • Subjective reviews. No structured rating criteria, so assessments varied from manager to manager and employees saw little transparency.
  • One scale for every role. Existing tools could not handle the variety of roles, from shop floor to engineering to sales, which hurt engagement.
  • KPIs that told the wrong story. Without target-based ratings or reverse-ratio scoring (where lower is better, such as scrap or downtime), insights were misaligned.
  • Manual, slow reporting. No real-time tracking and no quarterly score roll-up, so leadership could not see trends or act on them.

What USR INFOTECH did

1

A multi-rating system for every role

Three rating levels with 30+ customisable criteria, so each role is reviewed against measures that make sense for its work.

2

Target-based and reverse-ratio KPIs

Ratings calculated against targets, with reverse-ratio scoring for 'lower is better' measures. Average-based and sum-based scoring methods are available per KPI.

3

Quarterly score aggregation

Scores roll up across four quarters, so the annual rating reflects steady performance, not just the last few weeks.

4

Automated PMS reports and field check-ins

Leadership gets trend reports without spreadsheets, and field staff check in from the mobile app in their own language.

The results

  • 98% accuracy in KPI tracking
  • 5X faster goal alignment across teams
  • 90% of KPIs automated through integrations
  • 70% increase in employee engagement
  • 3-level multi-rating system live for the whole workforce
