The value of Smart Notes

Smart Notes provide a quick way to make file notes about employees, e.g. a person's achievements or actions (positive or negative).

Notes help build an accurate picture of a person's performance, enriching conversations with employees and providing an objective basis for performance management or disciplinary action.
