After hiring an employee, it is essential to keep a check on his performance to reward him appropriately in terms of compensation. Performance evaluation is a continuous task.

We provide and implement a complete methodology to track and measure the employee performance and help in deciding appropriate increase or decrease in remuneration in line with the performance.
