…we are still learning

Learn from Languages – You can deliver an appraisal form in local language – but

consider the entire process – how are actual discussions handled? And

printed languages always tend to be subject to variations in interpretation

Cultural changes – Check your meanings…manage change…ensure local and

global acceptance

Ownership model – ensure continued care and feeding of your process as it is

enabled in the system

Compliance – remain aware of internal and external requirements

The system does not replace our HR processes – but, rather, enhances these. . .

Enables efficiency….allows a true global view.
