How often have you been set objectives at the start of the year to look back on them at the end of the year to find they are totally different?
We are starting to see the benefits of replacing annual appraisals in support of real-time performance management. The impact of which has been improved morale, a reduction in staff attrition and significant time savings for managers.
We all appreciate that teams need more than just a salary from their job, they need drive and excitement, passion, pride, a career; and they want to engage in a collaborative process with regular and qualitative feedback with their manager.
We believe that appraisals should focus on setting short-term objectives, closely aligning employee targets with business goals in order to make the process beneficial for both the employee and the business.”
At the end of Q3 2017 we introduced Talent Check-ins as a framework to allow the team and managers to decide the frequency and format of conversations as and when needed.
Check-ins are already starting to promote team collaboration and provide a platform for effective communication and successful team working.
I love helping people and teams to become more confident and capable leaders. They feel better about themselves, their teams perform better, and business results improve. It's a win-win-win…….
