Human Resources: Creating a Performance Development Culture

Performance appraisals have long been saddled with a negative, but often accurate image of being a meaningless or even demeaning exercise. Human Resource professionals who intuitively understand the true value and promise of performance measurement often become disillusioned by the administrative effort, lack of support throughout the organization, and “checklist” mentality that persists. Progressive companies recognize the fact that a performance appraisal process is only a natural extension of their employee development efforts and actively promote a performance development culture. In this webinar, we will help participants evaluate their organization’s “readiness” and provide clear steps on how to implement a performance development culture that: 1) aligns to the business strategy, 2) promotes continuous feedback, 3) holds people accountable for growth and 4) utilizes technology that supports a development-focused process.

Performance appraisals have long been saddled with a negative, but often accurate image of being a meaningless or even demeaning exercise. In fact, many Dilbert cartoons have played off this stereotype in an all too truthful depiction of the performance review process in a “typical” organization. Organizations spend hundreds of employee hours and thousands of dollars every year on mandatory performance appraisals that often do not result in the outcomes that are desired. Human Resource professionals who intuitively understand the true value and promise of performance measurement often become disillusioned by the administrative effort, lack of support throughout the organization, and “checklist” mentality that persists.

In this webinar, we will discuss how to raise company expectations and outcomes of the performance appraisal process by establishing a performance development culture. Progressive companies recognize the fact that a performance appraisal process is only a natural extension of their employee development efforts and actively promote performance development. A strategy for creating this culture will be discussed including:

Aligning performance development efforts with the overall business strategy
Creating business relevance by establishing the link to business success
Partnering with employees as active, accountable participants in the process
Providing resources and rewards for ongoing feedback and development
Emphasizing easy to use technology that support a developmental process
