Machine learning drives Kanjoya performance review software

Each quarter, the editors of SearchFinancialApplications recognize new software for innovation or market impact. This quarter, that product is Performance for Performance. Enterprises can use Kanjoya performance review software to obtain a synopsis of an employee's strengths, consensus on areas for improvement and a summary of all the feedback provided by people who review the employee. Elaine Chang, director of products at Kanjoya, based in San Francisco, said Kanjoya's natural language processing and machine learning algorithms continually analyze performance reviews as they are submitted inside the software. The cloud-based tool provides a simple dashboard that displays an employee's "opportunity areas," or items for improvement, and strengths.
