It\u2019s the time of year when we\u2019re making new resolutions and setting goals for the year ahead. At Let\u2019s Talk Talent (LTT) we are no different!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t bore you with all of our business goals, however one I wanted to share with you, which is really close to my heart, is how we continue to challenge businesses to create world class experiences for their people. How we aim to do this in 2019 is firstly by changing our \u201cold world HR rule book\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of this means thinking about performance management<\/a> using our philosophy rather than as an HR process dictated by software systems or bonus structures! At LTT we\u2019re moving the conversation from performance management to talent development so will you join us?!<\/p>\n\n\n

Performance vs talent development <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Performance Management isn\u2019t dead. The way of thinking about it is.\u201d<\/em> says Anita Bowness<\/a>. In recent years big names like Accenture<\/a> have scrapped the annual appraisal. Deloitte<\/a>, Microsoft and Dell<\/a> have removed ratings from performance management as they were found to be demotivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I completely agree that performance is not about whether you got a three or a four, people still need to know what they\u2019re working towards and how their manager will help them get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the base level you\u2019re at? Your target? And once you\u2019re there, what\u2019s the stretch target? How do we as managers get people to be the best they can be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What needs fixing in performance management?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to make some changes to the way you manage performance in 2019, ask yourself whether any of the points below apply to your organisation. These are issues I commonly see with performance management, and we\u2019d like to encourage you to change them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
