Changing the face of Performance Management
In the last 18 months organizational performance processes and systems have been the subject of a lot of criticism for the following reasons:
-
Employees and managers experience the process as negative and demotivating
-
The process is too complex and administratively time consuming relative to the value it adds (or doesn't add)
-
It makes little or no difference to actual performance
Historically the performance process has been focused on communicating goals and incentivizing employees to achieve them. This has lead to a disproportionate amount of energy being spent on quantifying outputs and detailing activities at the expense of helping the person to be successful.
The infographic below explains how we believe the performance process should be transformed from one focusing on measurement to one that focuses on predicting and diagnosing what it takes to be successful and equipping every employee with the ability to be successful.
