Performance as Narrative◢
Overview
Performance management is ripe for a re-do.
Managers dread them. Employees hate them. And are they really driving improved performance?
In this session, TERRA’s Chief Strategy Officer, Jen Lambert, will be joined by two HR HotSpot tenured faculty who have a lot to say on this topic.
Aaron Goldstein, top-rated employment law attorney and partner at Dorsey, says that while good performance management is critical, bad performance management is worse than none at all. Performance management needs to demonstrate the employer’s investment in employee success to be effective.
Aaron Schmookler, Culture Engineer and founder of Upworks, first appeared on HR HotSpot over a year ago and advocated for “killing the performance improvement plan (PIP) and the annual review.”
Are we advocating for getting rid of performance management—no! Performance matters. In fact, it matters so much that we believe that most of the current methods and systems of performance management fail to deliver actual improved performance, waste massive amounts of time and, in worst cases, create more liability for organizations.
In this hour-long webcast, we will discuss a new way of approaching the performance management process that leads to better relationships, better performance and actually saves time and reduces headaches for leaders.
