Social Performance

In today's rapidly changing business environment, once-a-year performance feedback is too little, too late. Timely coaching is a proven way to rapidly improve performance and mobilize people to work at their best. And in modern organizations, where employees often work in global, cross-functional teams, the best performance insights often come from people outside of an employee's direct reporting structure.

Saba Impressions enables Twitter-like feedback

Saba Impressions mobilizes people to provide real-time performance feedback on any individual across the enterprise. As quick and simple to use as Twitter, users can submit comments and impressions through a Web interface or through a portlet embedded in a company portal. Anyone can submit feedback, regardless of how they fit into the reporting structure or whether they are participating in a formal performance cycle.


Unlike social feedback from stand-alone tools, the feedback from Saba Impressions can generate immediate actions, from development activities to performance, succession, and compensation decisions. Managers can automatically incorporate informal feedback into formal employee evaluations at the end of the performance review cycle. With Saba Impressions, organizations now have an easy and intuitive way to:

  • Improve employee engagement and job satisfaction by embedding a real-time feedback channel into everyday work processes, allowing continuous coaching and immediate recognition of valued contributions.
  • Drive rapid performance improvements by addressing performance issues immediately and contextually.
  • Attract and retain high-value Gen Y workers, who expect a networked work environment and ways to quickly share and receive feedback across the enterprise.
  • Build a high-performance culture where everyone's feedback counts, not just an employee's manager or direct team members.
