Mumbai: May 3, 2023: Layoffs are all around us. Employees especially in the IT and allied industries have been gripped by fear of being laid off and dread the prospect of getting the pink slip. Most often, employees feel that they have been shortchanged by their immediate superiors as the whole process is subjective and fraught with human bias.
Flowace, a productivity and billing management platform has software that is fully automated and gives a non-judgmental assessment of the employees’ performance. This has been used extensively in the services sector and provides employers with a fair assessment of staff productivity.
According to Varun Kodnani, Co-Founder, of Flowace, “We have developed software to measure the productivity of staff on an ongoing basis. Humans are naturally biased and this reflects in disenchantment amongst staff when asked to quit and they feel done in. Managers are also helpless as they have preconceived notions of staff performance. Our software assesses performance and the manager can present this to staff as the measurement is fully automated.”
He further adds, “It also helps identify silent workers or your Dark Knights for whom this tool is helpful. It also sends out the message from the leadership team that it is empathetic to employee sentiments. In toto it helps the senior management to build empathetic leadership at an organizational level so that the retention of employees would far exceed the expectation of the management in the short to long run”
