    The Engagement

    Challenge, solution, and outcome

    Challenge

    Manual and spreadsheet-based performance assessments for 10,000+ employees were time-intensive, difficult to track, and prone to delays and inconsistencies.

    Solution

    Accienta implemented a Smartsheet-based assessment workflow using Data Shuttle, DataMesh, Dynamic View, and dashboards to automate assignment, review, and reporting.

    Result

    The team achieved approximately 98% of assessment targets, improved processing speed, and strengthened accuracy and transparency across evaluation records.

    Full Story

    Implementation journey and outcomes

    Background

    Emirates Flight Catering operates at enterprise scale and depends on reliable workforce performance processes to maintain operational quality.

    As evaluation volumes grew, the organization prioritized a digital approach that could handle complexity without adding administrative burden.

    Challenge

    Performance assessments for more than 10,000 employees were historically manual, then partially spreadsheet-based, creating heavy effort in tracking, validation, and record management.

    HR and line managers needed better transparency into assignment status, improved data integrity, and faster end-to-end cycle completion.

    Approach

    Accienta implemented a Smartsheet-centered assessment workflow using Data Shuttle, DataMesh, Dynamic View, forms, and dashboards to automate assignment, review, and reporting flows.

    The model connected employee data from ERP, aligned role-specific KPI mapping, and provided tailored visibility for managers, leaders, and HR oversight.

    Impact

    Automation reduced manual handoffs, improved communication, and accelerated collection and approval cycles. EKFC reported achieving approximately 98 percent of assessment targets.

    Teams also saw stronger consistency in evaluation records, with improved transparency and easier access to performance information across the organization.

    Why It Worked

    The program worked because technology was paired with practical enablement. Accienta supported implementation and user adoption while adapting the solution to real stakeholder workflows.

    EKFC now has a scalable, user-friendly performance management foundation that supports continuous improvement rather than periodic process resets.
