How greytHR transformed performance assessments with ThriveSparrow

HOW WE CHANGED THEIR STORY

Challenges

As greytHR expanded its services and workforce, the HR team faced mounting challenges in managing performance assessments. The process was time-consuming, error-prone, and heavily reliant on manual effort. Here’s what they were up against:

• Manual overload: Every step—survey creation, email distribution, follow-ups, and analysis—was done manually, consuming significant time and resources.
• Anonymity concerns: Ensuring truly anonymous feedback required cumbersome and inefficient follow-ups.
• Error-prone analysis: Manual data compilation led to mistakes, undermining the reliability of insights.
• Lengthy cycles: Completing one assessment cycle took over a month, with several days dedicated just to data analysis.

It became clear that their current methods wouldn't scale as the organization grew, and a better solution was needed to save time and improve accuracy.
