Many employers have an annual review process during which managers and employees alike experience much angst, as well as much resistance.  Often, the angst occurs because the ratings used in the process have an impact on salaries and salary increases.  At the same time, many question whether the process actually has a positive impact on productivity and employee engagement.

Led by Shari Dunn, Managing Director, this seminar will explore ways to significantly improve the effectiveness of your company’s process by eliminating performance appraisals as we currently know them, and replacing them with more focused, objective, and less threatening tools that actually work.

To register, please contact Sarah Gersumky via the Events page of our web site.  Seating is very limited.  All human resources professionals are welcome.

Performance Appraisals

For anyone with remaining doubts about using textbook performance appraisals, this article on Forbes.com should push you over the edge.  We should try to encourage employees to develop their technical and behavioral competencies all the time, without the emotional anxiety associated with “reviews” and “appraisals” that are designed to be punitive rather than constructive.  This can be accomplished with an excellent employee development program that is divorced from compensation.  If you want to truly pay for performance, take the time and make the effort to establish outcomes goals that are objectively measurable in terms of quantity, quality and timeliness, and link the extent to which they are achieved to variable pay, or possibly base pay if you can differentiate enough to make them motivational.

– Shari Dunn, Managing Director
