    INTRODUCTION

    Introduction:Is the annual performance review dead?

    Results from Brandon Hall Group’s 2015 1 research survey, uncoversomething quite revealing about how companies view theirperformance management programs:

    of organizations believe their performance management programs are average orbelow average.

    70 %

    So, why the lack of condence in existing programs?For starters, the traditional once-a-year approach to performance management:

    Is viewed as a negativeexperience by employeesand managers

    Isn’t able to exwith changingbusiness goals

    Doesn’t provideinsight into progressand gaps

    By gathering information on performance once or twice annually, performance management becomes punitiverather than productive in the eyes of employees. Furthermore, traditional performance management is not tied tobusiness outcomes or overall organizational success. Finally, many companies use outdated technology that failsto align performance with overall company objectives.

    INTRODUCTION

    Considering all these negatives, is it time to say “good-bye”to the annual performance review?It’s a valid question, so let’s explore.

    In the last couple of years there’s been a fair amount of discussion and research on how dysfunctional the performanceappraisal has become including how it can lead to lower employee engagement and productivity.

    But there’s no reason to bid farewell to the annual performance review completely. It can still serve a valuable purposeto organizations, which is why making it go away isn’t necessarily the only option.

    The question is, “What can take its place?”

    In this eBook, you’ll learn how to reinvent your old annual review process into something that’s more strategic andresponsive, and aligns and engages your entire organization.

    More specically, you’ll:

    Gain a deeper understanding of the current problems with a traditional performance appraisal process.

    Learn about the 5 best practices to transform the annual employee performance review.

    Find out how to implement these 5 practices using the Halogen TalentSpace™ suite.

    Performance management is often a source of great frustration for employeeswho do not clearly understand their goals or what is expected of them at work.

    For these employees, annual reviews and developmental conversations feelforced and supercial, and it is impossible for them to think about next year’sgoals when they are not even sure what tomorrow will throw at them.

    INTRODUCTION

    The state of traditional performancemanagement

    Many would agree that the common performance management practiceswe’ve followed for years are no longer effective for several reasons. They’reoften a heavily process-driven, rating and ranking exercise that takes arear-view mirror approach to performance management. The resultis additional stress on an already overburdened and disengaged workforce.

    Good performance management about building the relationship betweenmanager and employee, ensuring open and honest conversation aroundexpectations, coaching and development and reinforcing behaviors throughfeedback and recognition.

    Factors driving us to rethinkperformance management The organizational environment – where we work – haschanged signicantly from days gone by.

    To stay competitive and protable today, companiesmust learn to navigate through today’s fast-paced,unpredictable work environment.

    Technology is altering how we do business, knowledgeis doubling every year and new skills are outdated in2.5 to 5 years. 2 Demographic changes are having astrong impact on how businesses are run.

    As workplaces become more complex, organizationsmust seek ways to simplify to prevent employees frombeing overwhelmed and disengaged. This requiresa change in how companies manage employeeperformance today. Performance must be redenedand simplied.

    How we work together is changing

    INTRODUCTION

    Performance management redenedMany organizations recognize that performance management is no longer a once-a-year process and that employees whoreceive ongoing feedback deliver greater returns. For performance management to work (really work), it must undergosignicant changes and shift toward:

    Ongoing, less formal performance conversations

    Developing managers to be better coaches

    Helping managers foster a development environment while encouraging employees to own theirdevelopment

    This begs the question, “How can this shift happen?”. That’s where the 5 best practices come into play.

    Organizations that want to mature their performance management practices need to adopt performance anddevelopment activities that happen throughout the year. Here are 5 examples of ongoing activities that can takeyour performance management process to the next level:

    The purpose of performance management is to give employees an understanding of how they are performing, areas they are succeeding in, areas they can improve in, and a plan for how to improve.

    Now, let’s look at these in more detail, including how you can implement them with theHalogen TalentSpace suite.

    1 GOALS

    Aligning, setting and managing goals are at the heart of performancemanagement. When it comes to setting goals, the best outcomes result fromgoals that are both meaningful and challenging for employees.

    The problem is that traditional goal setting practices often fail to engageemployees, which is why organizations are now choosing a more collaborativeand agile approach to goal management.

    Research shows that organizations that frequently review and revise their goalsrealize better business outcomes than those that do not. Specically,organizations that do these reviews quarterly – or even more often are:

    more likely to have above-average customer satisfaction

    more likely to be effective at controlling costs thanorganizations that revise goals only once a year 3

    Looking at the what and how of goal settingUsually goal reviews look at what was achieved, but let’s not forget the how . Whether it’s via competencies oraccountability measures, it’s important to discuss the performance factors your employees are demonstrating or mightneed to develop. It’s ideal to have these discussions on a regular basis.

    For performance management to be effective, employees must have a clear understanding of what is expected of themin their current and future roles, yet…

    Less than 50% of employees know what is expected of them at work. 5

    Quarterly goal setting

    A Bersin by Deloitte study suggests that executives revise goals almost three times asfrequently as employees 4. So if this is the case, why wouldn’t you want employee goalsto change too? If they don’t change with strategic goals, the alignment is lost.

    1 GOALS

    There should also be clear alignment between business objectives and what employees spend time doing. Make sure thatgoals are achievable both individually and as a group. Assigning too many goals, even though each one might be achievableon its own, sets the employee up for failure.

    TIP Schedule a meeting at least once a quarter , where managers can discuss the what(i.e., goals they’re expected to achieve) and the how (the competencies that reectyour culture of high performance). If there are areas that need development,managers can create a separate development plan to address areas for improvement.Check out these employee goal setting templates that prompt managers for allthe information they should discuss and document when setting goals with employees.

    How the Halogen TalentSpace suitesupports quarterly goal settingWith Halogen Performance – part of the Halogen TalentSpace suite – managers andemployees can set goals as part of a regular performance review process, part ofa separate goal setting process, or in the course of their day-to-day activities. Yourorganization can ensure goal setting is collaborative by including appropriate stepsin your performance review or goal setting process.

    Aligning employees’ goals to strategic business goals provides necessary line-of-sightfor employees so they understand how meeting their objectives will contribute toorganization’s success. This results in higher employee engagement and betterbusiness results.

    When managers and employees set quarterly goals withHalogen Performance, they’re able to view the list oforganizational goals, and select and link the employee’sindividual goal directly to the organizational goal it’sdesigned to support. Employees can easily see theirindividual goals and the organizational goal each onesupports at any time.

    Adding Halogen 1:1 Exchange™ to the equation, ensuresmanagers and employees have an easy and effective way todiscuss and update goal progress and status in their regularone-on-one meetings.

    2 DEVELOPMENT

    Development discussions

    Discussions about career progression drive employee engagementand productivity. They also play a fundamental role in creating adynamic workplace that engages managers and employees. Byfostering a culture of personal development and career progression,organizations can increase retention rates, reinforce theircommitment to employee learning and attract top talent.

    The “but” is that development efforts are an often overlooked partof employee investment – or companies take a one-size-ts-allapproach to employee development. Given that no two employeesare the same, this approach has the potential to make some

    development discussions go terribly wrong. For example, whilethe approach you take with Employee A might be highly successful,it could prove disastrous with Employee B . In fact, getting it wrongwith Employee B could lead to feelings of distress, anger anddisengagement – which can be costly to organizations.

    Appreciating differences:It’s important to keep in mind that today’s workforce is diverse and

    multigenerational, with each of four generations (soon to be ve)having a distinct set of values, attitudes and behaviors. Regardlessof generations or life experience, organizations must nd ways todrive optimal performance from everyone across the workforce.With each individual having their own expectations, priorities,approaches, and work and communication styles, it only makessense that development plans should consider these differences.

    Whether creating unique, new challenging learning experiences forMillennials, or investing in the ongoing development of employeeswho have been with the organization for decades, employees have growth on their minds. Withholding these

    development conversations presents a greater danger to the status quo than engaging in them. The key here is torecognize the differences and have the appropriate development discussions. Through regular career conversations,employees can share and rene their goals. With better understanding of their learning goals, managers and employeesare in a better position to spot developmental opportunities.

    Employees have growth on theirminds, whether you address it

    or not. Withholding theseconversations presents a greater

    danger to the status quo thanengaging in them. 8

    Check out these checklists and templates to diagnose develop needs, create individualized development plans andtake steps to ensure employees will benet from the opportunities offered.

    TIP Instead of a once-annual conversation about career goals at the time of theperformance review, have frequent brief conversations throughout the yearregarding employees’ career interests and aspirations . While some of thesemight be self-evident, others might not, which is exactly why you need to have

    frequent discussions.

    What’s your favoritepart of this job?

    How could we betteruse your talents?

    What else would youlike to be doing?

    How can wechallenge you?

    How the Halogen TalentSpace suitesupports development discussionsHalogen TalentSpace lets you create career and professional development plansas part of your employee performance management process whenever youidentify a learning need. You can tie development plans and activities directlyto competencies, for greater context, or set them independently to support

    career aspirations and/or goal performance.

    Managers and employees can discuss and identifydevelopment activities any time, not just during annualperformance reviews. With the click of a mouse, they canbrowse your online learning catalogue, select the rightactivity based on the competency they want to improve,update employee development plans, track progress,and see the impact training is having on performance.

    3 FEEDBACK

    360-degree feedback assessments

    Multisource feedback is essential for getting a broader, more objective perspective on employee performance,strengths and areas for development. When used effectively, multirater or 360-degree assessments:

    Provide a more accurate, credible and reliable performance ratings

    Increase employee acceptance of performance feedback

    Improve employee performance

    Lead to higher functioning work teams

    360-degree feedback is also ideal when employees have morethan one manager supervising them directly throughout theyear, which is the case in matrix organizations where there aremultiple reporting lines, rather than one formal boss.

    360-degree or multiraterfeedback is a system for

    collecting feedback from anemployee’s work circle. This

    typically includes condentialand anonymous feedback from

    an employee’s manageror supervisor, peers and

    direct reports.

    How 360-degree feedback helps employees

    Leads to increased self-awareness of strengths andareas for improvement

    Offers a more well-rounded and balanced view ofskills and behaviors

    Provides a starting point for employee developmentplanning

    TIP Consider a full 360-feedback assessment on your employees in lieu of an annualreview or at least as a complement to it. Check out these 360-degree feedback

    forms and templates to inspire you or guide you on designing multirater forms.

    3 FEEDBACK

    The danger of single-source feedback Gathering 360-degree or multisource feedback is important because, although managers may feel like they havethe complete picture of an employee’s performance at review time, their view can be skewed, blurred or distorted.Single- source feedback can become a real issue if an employee doesn’t agree with the feedback they receive.

    When performance feedback comes from one person, or is perceived to come from one person, it’s easier for an employeeto ignore the message or believe that feedback isn’t an accurate representation of their performance.

    They can dismiss it as, “That’s just your opinion.”

    And if an employee doesn’t agree with or believe the feedback that they receive is accurate, they simply might not acceptit or make any effort to improve or change. And that’s a difficult situation for everyone – HR, managers and employees.

    How the Halogen TalentSpace suitesupports 360-degree feedback Halogen 360 Multirater™, which is a seamlessly integrated part of the Halogen TalentSpacesuite, is ideal for collecting feedback during a performance review cycle, as part of aproject evaluation, or as part of a talent assessment for succession planning.

    Employee feedback can come from virtually anyone – from managers, peers,subordinates, and even external contacts, such as customers, partners and suppliers.

    Managers can launch a multirater review directly to solicitfeedback from other sources. Or, as a best practice, youradministrator can launch it and allow employees to selecttheir assessors – and make them part of the process.

    Through Halogen 360 Multirater, HR can control all aspectsof the 360-assessment process from a central point –including email notications, assessment status, andchanges to the reporting structure.

    The work environment is changing , which has led many companies to trade inthe traditional organizational structure in favor of atter, more project-based,matrix-style one. In the latter scenario, employees are drawn to work ondifferent teams, report to different project managers and achieve differentobjectives throughout the year. Because work is project-based, involves variouspeople and scheduling, it doesn’t make sense to review employee performancefrom the perspective of a single manager at annual review time.

    What does make sense is to hold regular project reviews, which providea valuable opportunity to inform managers how someone is performingthroughout the year. In this case, the project manager or team lead (who are

    not necessarily the direct manager), can take an active role in the process.

    Regular project reviews benet organizational performance by:

    Giving employees the timely, fresh and continuous feedback they need to develop and succeed

    Including feedback from “people in the know” so appraisals aren’t limited to direct managers

    Providing managers with the documentation to make year-end employee reviews easier

    Enabling the organization to react and respond to potential issues as they come up

    Helping project managers reect on what went well, what can be improved and lessons learned

    TIP Create a process whereby employees receive feedback – based on competencies –on a project-by-project basis, and tie this information in with the annual appraisalor performance summary.
