"The purpose of an organization is to enable ordinary human beings to do extraordinary things.” - Peter Drucker Successful companies understand that people are their greatest asset and take all measures to create employees for life. Yet amid dramatically changing workplace expectations, employee motivation seems to be at an all-time low. Businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are struggling to motivate and get the best out of their employees. Helping them unlock the full potential of their employees by creating a motivated and happy workforce that, in turn, drives performance and productivity is SandFil International.

For close to two decades, SandFil International has helped more than 500 SMEs with their KPI solutions and strategic consulting services. The company addresses the lack of employee motivation, which most often stems from a communication and alignment gap with the company’s vision and goals. The SandFil team, through their consultative approach, helps the CEO and the leadership teams of organizations to make employees aware of the company’s goal and vision and chart the roadmap for them to be a vital part of the growth journey.

In line with this approach to drive employee motivation and help build high-performance cultures, SandFil has set up an automated performance management system delivered through sandmerit, a KPI solution. It enables SMEs to gain an overview of each employee’s performance in real-time and reward employees fairly. This hugely benefits SME owners, who are often hard-pressed for time to track and monitor employee performance.

“We autopilot employee’s performance evaluation and appraisal, helping SME owners to concentrate on the core competencies of their business, while employees manage their own career growth,” says Wilson Ten, CEO of SandFil International.

Sandmerit, SandFil’s KPI application runs self-driven employee performance appraisal programs that give employees clear notions about their area of focus and provides them feedback by automatically evaluating their performance.

The application is linked with the organization’s vision and the Harvard University Balanced Scorecard, which is a comprehensive framework that translates companies’ strategic objectives into a set of performance measures. The scorecard is linked with the company’s corporate objectives, against which each employee’s performance is measured.

The application allows employees to post updates upon completion of each task. sandmerit then automatically analyzes and rates their performance with the help of in-built artificial intelligence. The application also has an automated bonus calculation module for providing employees with fair bonus and rewards. Along with this, sandmerit has an automated sales commission module to process incentives for sales personnel at different stages of the sales cycle.

SandFil also holds one-on-one consultations that help company leadership teams develop strategies to align employees’ progress to the company’s objectives by taking into consideration the organization’s current strengths, weaknesses, and potential opportunities. Post which the leadership teams are able to set individual measurable goals, which in turn is linked to the rewards system in sandmerit.

With more than 19 years of experience working for 30-plus sectors, Wilson and his team have developed a standard methodology to define the vision and mission of organizations. A testament to the method’s proficiency is a case in point, in which a customer leveraged SandFil’s methodology to achieve an annual goal of 100 million-dollar sales for the company. By the end of the year, the customer exceeded their goal, reaching $126 million in sales. In yet another instance, sandmerit’s automated appraisal system helped a disgruntled long-term employee of an organization realize the value of his contributions and improve his attitude and productivity.

Envisioning growing further in Malaysia and beyond, SandFil continues to create solutions to assist employers in investing more in their employees and keep them motivated with its stellar appraisal system.
