10 Steps To Fix Performance Management

We all agree that the current state of Performance Management no longer works inside of today’s modern organization. As a result, companies are eagerly looking for the next great solution that will help drive the results needed to remain competitive in a digital world. As we transition to a more digital workforce, an integrated Performance Management solution will become an important tool necessary to optimize team success. Designing these tools in the right way is critical to creating a culture that can attract and retain employees dedicated to reaching the full potential of your organization.

I recommend these ten critical steps to help optimize performance inside of your organization:

Step 1 Let employees own their performance data

This transformation will be accelerated in response to the several highly publicized cases of consumer data misuse that are causing individuals to scrutinize how their data is managed and controlled across all digital platforms. Employees will then be able to grant data access to their employer or recruiter as they control their performance reputation throughout their career.
