Performance Assessment
Objective Performance Management through Effective Employee Engagement!
The philosophy!
Karma @ Workplace
Karma (action or inaction) of a person will affect him or her at some time in the future. If explicitly and transparently defined, it will work great in the workplace as well!
Engagement Drives Performance
An engaged employee is excited about their work and goes beyond their roles and responsibilities to take positive action to further the organization’s interest and reputation.
Accumulation Over a Period
Accumulation of Karma over a period gives fair idea about the contribution of an individual. While the short-terms aggregates can help with tactical decisions, the long term Karma will be of great help in strategic growth!Â
Reinforcement Changes Behavior
A timely reward (or lack of reward) for a given action in a given environment leads to reinforcement of the executed action. What gets rewarded, gets repeated and that is what forms the behavior.Â
Praise in Public and Criticize in Private
The appreciation as well as the constructive feedback is important and it must be recorded somewhere so that it matters. However, the praise must go in public so that people can leverage on the strength and criticism must stay private so that associated stakeholders can work together and bring in the required improvement!
Holistic = Social Recognition + SMART Goals
Through the transparent and objective contribution recognition, the teams will be able to see what will help them to be on the leaderboard and they will know what will take them from point A to point B.
