Cambridge, Mass (PRWEB) March 24, 2010 -- Merrimack Pharmaceuticals was one of 18 winners out of more than 100 entries in Human Resources magazine’s second annual competition for the most noteworthy HR ideas. Awards were in four categories: Benefits, HR Technology, Talent Management and Training & Development.
Merrimack was recognized in the Talent Management category for the company’s decision last year to replace its semi-annual review process with 12 monthly employee dialogue sessions. “Talking monthly helps ensure that managers are actively involved in their employees’ development and creates alignment around team and company objectives,” said Andy Porter, senior director of
Human Resources, at Merrimack. “As Merrimack continues to grow, it’s critically important that we have a strong foundation of manager-employee feedback in place.” The dialogues include: goal check-in, job competencies and development, one actionable item the employee can improve, and types of support the manager can provide.
