What is EDP?

EDP is a powerful and cost-effective management tool for the development of employees to utilise organisational resources. The idea is simple:  Develop your employees’ competencies and organisational performance will improve.

Based on 25 years’ experience and proven principles for optimising performance, EDP lets you organise the entire appraisal process online.

EDP will help you:

• improve performance with up to 30 per cent by utilising hidden skills and resources amongst staff as well as highlighting development needs
• understand what your employees really think and feel about working in the company, through work climate and employee wellbeing surveys
• manage agreements and follow-up online
• focus on the important issue: dialogue, and development of the organisation and its employees
• save time (experience shows that EDP saves you 30-45 minutes per EDP meeting)

The EDP questionnaire

Experience within performance management along with extensive knowledge of statistical methods and applications, has led to the following guiding principles for the sector-specific EDP forms:

• simple and clearly phrased with absolutely no hidden agenda
• brief and fit comfortably on a couple of pages 
• ensure that the conversation covers all relevant areas
• provide a basis for constructive dialogue
• provide a solid base for follow-up
• provide a basis for reporting results to employees and organisation management
• allow for precise benchmarking between various departments of the organisation
• provide a basis for comparisons over time
• graduated numerical scale from 1-6 minimises the risk of misunderstandings or varying perceptions of what level is represented by verbal labels such as ‘excellent’

EDP provides a uniform and reliable foundation for all interviews, saving you time during the preparation phase. The system also ensures time is not wasted on haphazard follow-up or paperwork. Experience has shown that both leaders and employees can save up to an hour per interview, which will free up significant resources for productive work, year after year – even in small organisations.
