We have done the kick-off and completed the security – the first copies of the Spiegelapp (mirroring app) proudly feature on the smartphone screens of our clients’ employees. Thanks to this new tool provided by H+C, these employees are now actively involved in their professional growth. The first evaluations are positive: direct online feedback results in continuous personal and professional development. Company goals are now within reach.
In traditional assessment cycles, performance interviews are only held a few times a year. They have a tendency to be rather one-way with a focus on shortcomings, which is unlikely to help employees to perform better. The H+C Spiegelapp, however, gives employees instant feedback from their managers, colleagues and selected others. No more long waits between scheduled interviews in the assessment cycle – the app triggers fast development in a way that hugely increases job satisfaction.
Self-direction
The essence of the online tool is self-direction. Using the feedback feature, employees can decide which competencies they would like feedback on and from who they would like to receive this feedback. In traditional planning, progress and assessment interviews, any agreements on personal development are usually imposed by the manager rather than initiated by the employee. Nowadays, with the flexible ‘new way of working’ becoming ever popular and structures changing more rapidly, there is a greater demand for interactive learning environments. The H+C Spiegelapp meets that need.
Personalized Spiegelapp
The H+C Spiegelapp is a developmental tool tailored to the user. Employees can add a personal video clip to present their objectives for personal and professional growth. That way the person providing feedback has a clear understanding of what motivates the employee. In turn, the employee can respond directly, using the handy dialogue feature, to the feedback provided, for example by asking for a specific explanation. And the app instantly makes results available in easy-to-read graphs and feedback reports. These and many other practical features make the Spiegelapp accessible, user-friendly and a lot of fun!
The H+C Spiegelapp is available as web application and as app on any smartphone. The design can be customized to fit your organization’s house style. Naturally, the app is also secure against unwanted access. This personal development tool regularly provides the employee with new insights, earning it an important place in professional performance management.
Static reports in neatly arranged dashboards offer HR managers an anonymized view at the use (and the results) at job level of the mirroring app. Automatic alerts keep them up to date on new developments, so that they can make adjustments necessary to support the organization’s transition. The hands-on experts of H+C are glad to offer specific advice in this respect.
