CAPTURE
by INSTRUMENT
Your annual review
in the palm of your hand
Annual reviews are the pinnacle point of employee recognition. The act of compiling feedback for thoughtful, meaningful recognition on an annual basis has never been easier with CAPTURE, the new mobile app from INSTRUMENT.
Prompt
INSTRUMENT is looking for an innovative application that allows employees to complete the performance review process while facilitating greater opportunities to empower one another.
Problem
The act of compiling feedback for thoughtful, meaningful recognition on an annual basis can be an overwhelming, tedious task—especially when trying to recall specifics and point of origination.
Solution
Create an application that functions as a social media platform for employees to curate, track, tag, and compile feedback in real time so that information can be quickly recalled and referenced during the review process.
Let's take a closer look.
Objectives
1. Capture
Curate and collect feedback in real time that stems from multiple sources such as voice, social media, email, text, and in print.
2. Review
Easily track, tag, and corroborate personal goals are in alignment with the team and organizational goals/mission.
3. Recall
Quickly recall feedback to be referenced during the review process.
“A hallmark of a healthy creative culture is that its people feel
free to share ideas, opinions,
and criticisms”
— Edwin Catmull, President of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios

Conclusion
High performing teams ensure that individual performance measures are aligned with the goals of the team and the organization, and that team performance measures are aligned with the goals of the organization.
When employees don’t feel recognized, connected, and fulfilled, their passion, perseverance, and creativity for job performance falters—ultimately contributing to a poorly functioning team.
CAPTURE innovates the performance review process by evolving off of a "social media" platform to create an application that allows users to track, tag, and compile interactions in real time, combined with the ability to share them through a transparent system and align to organizational goals. This allows evaluations to be more thoughtful, meaningful and specific while promoting trust and development throughout the organization and striking a balance between the “me” and “we” in a team.
“Companies that provide high levels of development planning and coaching to their employees have a third less voluntary turnover and generate twice the revenue per employee of their peers. These are huge returns.”
