Landscape Company Performance Grading System

Landscape Company Performance Grading System is a template for completing a self-assessment of the performance fitness of your company.  The tool allows Business Owners and Managers to score nine (9) critical areas of thier company and is extremely useful in tracking specific performance of a branch, a region, a divion or a department.  Once a grade is established action steps, timelines and accountable employees are determined.  Scoring can be done as often as you desire but perfroming audits can be time consuming, so we recommend a quarterly review leading to an annual performance summary. 

Our audtit platform integrates with our compenstation platform so, if desired, year end audit results can be used to determine compenstaion increases for profit center, finance and administrative managers. 

 The nine areas of the audit are:

1. Financial Management


2. Client Management


3. Employee Management


4. Safety Management


5. Market Management


6. Brand Management


7. Equipment Management


8. Quality Control Management


9. Offcie and Adminiistrative Management
