Design the Performance Management Framework
The traditional approach to performance management of using annual performance reviews is outdated and ineffective. Use McLean & Company's strategy framework to find a middle ground between agile and the traditional annual performance model.
Summary
Many organizations believe in ditching ratings and annual reviews in favor of an agile approach to managing performance that focuses on continuous goal setting and feedback. However, research shows that agile is not the cure-all to performance management.
McLean & Company's Design the Performance Management Framework customizes the building blocks of performance management to best fit organizational needs to impact individual and organizational performance, productivity, and engagement.
Use This Strategy Framework To:
- Train managers to provide employees with high-quality feedback and coaching to improve all other aspects of performance management.
- Find the middle ground between traditional and agile performance reviews and boost productivity, performance, and engagement.
- Build a custom performance management model that's tailored to your organizational needs.
- Foster effective performance management by selecting and customizing the following building blocks: process, goal setting, competencies, feedback and coaching, crowd-sourced feedback, and ratings.
