Align Employee Performance with Organizational Strategies
CLARITY IS THE MOTHER OF PERFORMANCE.
The best employees, in a credit union and pretty much every other organization in the world, are those who understand their role and how they are supposed to execute it. They're the people whose work contributes toward the common goal of making your credit union great.
With Performance Pro™, you can bring a plan to your credit union that lays out employee expectations and helps your people meet those expectations. Because clarity helps your people and your business.
An organization's performance is only as good as its employee performance management.
To get the most out of your employees, they need to feel valued. One of the best ways to demonstrate that value is to set up achievable, performance-based goals that give employees an incentive to work hard while maintaining the overall objective of the company. Because when working properly, employee personal goals should be in line with, and directly feed into, an organization's strategic goals.
That's why it's paramount that employee performance management is well planned, concise and consistent. Tracking performance manually with spreadsheets and word-processing documents is imprecise and difficult to maintain. You need professional-grade software that can efficiently align employee and organizational goals.
You need Performance Pro.
Performance Pro provides credit unions of all sizes with best-in-class performance management technology to improve employee performance and engagement. The system automates and can drastically help simplify the HR department's workload by eliminating repetitive administrative tasks and by streamlining and archiving all interactions between management and employees — focusing on strategic initiatives instead. You'll get the most out of your employees while your credit union continues to stay nimble.
What sets Performance Pro apart?
Performance Pro's easy-to-use system provides secure data hosting, goal libraries and intelligent performance factors that utilize strategic performance management to improve employee output. In addition to insightful dashboards and streamlined workflows, a new collection of HR metrics and reporting tools help credit unions leverage real-time, data-driven talent analytics.

Planning Is the Map That Leads Your Credit Union in the Right Direction
IMAGINE. PLAN. EXECUTE.
Every business invests time and money into planning but that effort can be stressful and tedious. A strategic plan usually involves multiple team members who try to determine best practices while sifting through endless data, all in the attempt to maintain efficient progress reporting, create winning presentations and ensure accountability for various goals. Identifying – let alone monitoring — the plan's key priorities, goals and action items can be a full-time job. But what else can credit unions do?
Planning Pro is the answer to all your planning needs. Board, management and staff planning becomes a breeze. How? Planning Pro allows you to create your strategic plan as a living document, where you can create and automatically update presentations, use call report data to bring the right questions to the table, compare data with peer credit union groups, survey your employees and more — all while enjoying a simple, intuitive-user experience.
An annual burden.
There are few things as critical to your credit union's success (and your CAMELS rating) as your strategic plan. But strategic planning is a complex and exhaustive undertaking that involves everyone. It almost always requires several types of software for spreadsheets, documents and presentations. Research, surveys, competitive analysis…a tremendous amount of time is spent on developing, maintaining and updating a credit union's strategic plan.
But what if there is another way?
Planning Pro is an all-in-one tool that handles all your strategic board, management and staff planning in an automated process. It even generates your presentation from the data you plug in as you go! Need to survey your employees along the way? No problem, that capability is built-in, as are other key tools, like accountability tracking and progress reports. Better yet, Planning Pro helps you see that your goals and achievements are on par with your peers using comparative data from call reports.
Get rid of the clutter.
Instead of juggling numerous pieces of software, putting in late hours using company time and resources, and often still paying for outside consulting, you can streamline the entire process using Planning Pro's simple and efficient system. When you're satisfied with your strategic plan, you can export an automatically generated presentation (customized with your own branding) as a PDF or PowerPoint. It's that simple!
KEY FEATURES:
- Design and update your strategic plan with multiple team members, using a single tool
- Monitor team member progress on key priorities, goals, action items and more
- Create and update presentations automatically
- Create your own surveys any time
- Best practice tools ensure that nothing falls through the cracks
- Planning Pro takes the hassle, stress and tedium out of strategic planning and gives you confidence in board meetings
Level the Playing Field When Negotiating Long-Term Vendor Contracts
At many credit unions, vendor contract negotiation and management is assigned to someone who also has many other responsibilities. With more vendors in the marketplace; more competitive pressure to stay current with the latest innovations; and more complexity in the terms and conditions, this approach can impact the bottom line of an organization by more than nine percent on average.
Credit unions are looking for ways to be better equipped to negotiate multi-year, mission-critical vendor contracts.
