How do we insure that our organizational goals are linked to our people?
Performance appraisal has seldom worked well in organizations. Some misguided recent innovations are aimed more at decreasing the pain than increasing the gain.
focus Performance Planning & Review is different! The emphasis is on the most positive and impactful part of the process... the performance plan. Employee development is fully integrated, instead of being treated as an after thought to be handled at the final review.
focus goal setting is powerful yet flexible. focus creates a link from organization goals to individual goals, creating a clear line-of-sight. Weight the goals if you wish. Optionally, develop action plans and identify success measures. focus helps you analyze whether efforts are properly aligned with the organization's most important priorities.
Persons whose jobs are not goal-based will most likely use focus performance standards. These define the meaning of outstanding performance for the most critical parts of the job. Additionally, all employees may wish to take advantage of the capability to measure performance on critical behaviors/competencies.
During the year, management and employees will use focus to help in achieving goals. Check goal status (not started, in progress, complete, etc.) at any time. focus becomes the medium for recording successes as well as barriers and making necessary changes in the plan.
Final performance evaluations are easy and contain a minimum of surprises because of the data that has already been captured by focus. Multi-rater input increases the validity of reviews.
