Employee recognition provider Globoforce has introduced a tool that links employee recognition and performance.

The tool, Talent Maps, aims to help HR and business leaders keep track of their top performers by allowing them to use peer-to-peer recognition data to visually map out employee and team performance.

The data can then be used to identify high-potential, high-performance employees for succession planning and leadership development.

Grant Beckett, vice president of product for Globoforce, said: “Social recognition is the next big disruptor within HR.†

"Its high levels of adoption across an entire workforce make it the ideal way to evaluate employee performance and influence.

"With Talent Maps, we take this crowdsourced feedback data and plot it against performance appraisal ratings.”
