Run away as fast as you can... - Manager Sage Employee Review

Thanks for your feedback. We have fantastic colleagues at Sage and the company is working towards a high-performance culture. There are so many exciting things happening at Sage - we have just launched our leadership development programme ‘Leading at Sage’ aims to develop the skills and behaviours of all 2,000 Sage Managers. Our ambition is to ensure that every day our managers challenge and support our colleagues to do their best. We want Managers to quickly identify and address low levels of performance and recognize and appreciate those that go ‘above and beyond’. Our performance management process identifies colleagues who are under performing and performance improvement plans are put in place to help get these colleagues back on track. If colleagues (including leaders) performance continues to be unacceptable they may be exited from the organisation. Our ambition is to build and provide the best technology and services for the world’s Business Builders. We have huge aspirations for our business – we want to be the worldwide market leader and we have a strategic plan to accelerate our revenue growth and improve our margins with our new generation cloud accounting products to meet this ambition. But we also need to create a high performing culture. Our performance management process is designed to increase the effectiveness of our colleagues and therefore the organisational capability to deliver strong levels of performance. It focuses on results and behaviours, allowing us to reward success and inspire our 13,500 colleagues in a consistent way. Thanks again for your feedback.
