Employee Performance and Development Are Now Linked to Cultivate CAMICO’s Future Leaders
-Softscape, a leading provider of web-based human capital management software products and services, today announced CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company, the nation’s largest CPA-owned provider of accountants’ professional liability insurance, has implemented Softscape’s human capital management solution to further streamline its performance and learning management processes and introduce greater efficiencies and effectiveness into its workforce development initiatives.
“CAMICO strongly believes in education and training as a means to create and retain a highly qualified workforce that will grow its business,” said Jaime Nelson, manager of HR Operations, CAMICO. “With Softscape we can link employee performance and development together to make certain we’re cultivating our people and identifying our up-and-coming leaders in line with our business objectives.”
In the past, CAMICO employed a manual performance review form that was completed for each one of its 100 employees. The forms were then forwarded to human resources for time-intensive tracking and compilation, making it difficult to get a high-level view of the staff’s performance as a whole and its impact on CAMICO’s bottom-line.
By adopting Softscape, CAMICO is better able to closely align employees’ performance and development to the competencies they must possess to be successful. CAMICO is also better able to monitor employees’ progress throughout the annual cycle and extract the information it needs to make well-informed decisions about personnel and operational strategy. A compensation-related goal for managers ensures participation in the process.
“Whether they’re global enterprises, government agencies, or small-to-medium-size businesses, such as CAMICO, our customers have a long-term vision to improve how they manage their people,” said Dave Watkins, chief executive officer, Softscape. “They want to more closely link their human resource processes with their overall business strategies to drive long-term financial and operational growth. Using Softscape’s integrated platform as the foundation for performance, development, and succession, they can realize a measurable impact.”
Softscape offers the industry’s most complete people management solution to help mid-size companies and global enterprises enhance productivity, facilitate planning, reduce paper-based processing, and simplify critical work functions. With advanced functions for workforce planning, talent acquisition, workforce performance, learning and development, succession planning, compensation management, workforce analytics, collaboration, and HR management all in a common, integrated platform, the proven technology provides the infrastructure for customers to better manage their workforces and gain insight from analyses across all their employee data. The end result is a single solution from which to make more informed business decisions.
