We have been attending HR events in the past, but seeing the increased level of enthusiasm among HR professionals in strategic human resources management is very encouraging for us. Their eagerness in understanding the product features and their intensive questions on how they can use and adapt this technology in their workforce to enhance employee engagement and development was really amazing. They have a keenness for technology and ready to take innovative approaches to achieve their talent management objectives.

Almost, 90% of the visitors have some kind of HRIS to manage payroll, attendance and other administrative tasks. Now, they focus on digitizing strategic talent management. Though for some visitors, the HRIS they have has basic performance management, they want an in-depth performance management system with continuous feedback, rewards & recognition, employee engagement and development capabilities.

We realized the demand for niche employee performance management system will be getting bigger and bigger. We have found more reasons to follow our product road map and keep Synergita as the top-notch employee performance management and engagement software.
