Saba (formerly known as Halogen) gives managers and employees an easy way to stay aligned, engaged and focused on achieving real-time performance outcomes. This tool gives managers and employees a simple, interactive, centralized way to track and collaborate on goals and projects, exchange meaningful feedback, provide coaching, discuss career development opportunities, or any issue that matters – on a regular, ongoing basis.
The system is equipped with automated agendas, instant access to goal progress, feedback, development activities, meeting minutes and more. The 1:1 meeting exchange improves communication, strengthens the manager-employee relationship and fosters a results-driven performance culture.
Saba streamlines the appraisal process: Accurately record employee performance feedback year round, including accomplishments, performance gaps, and critical incident reports. Then pull feedback directly into employee performance appraisals to provide direct support for ratings and comments, and provide richer, less subjective reviews.
