It's that time of year again. In the latest Labnotes from the Mlab there is a nice example of an Australian software company testing new processes and practices in reviewing individual performance. I like the approach they have designed in attempting to break the mode of an "annual rite of passage approach" to evaluating performance, and instead embedding and sustaining an ongoing "rhthym of analysis and focus, coaching, and results."
I appreciate following, learning, and being provoked by peers on topics such as this. Organizational context matters. Size, breadth, industry, culture, demographics - all play parts in Talent Mangement professionals' ability to innovate and experiment in people practices.
