Continuous approaches more and more replace daunting annual or biannual evaluations, building upon a more continuous dialog on engagement and development.
Project Example: Redesigned Professional Development and Skills Assessment approach for a public organisation (250 employees, 15 locations in France)
Performance reviews refocused on yearly OKR setting and continuous dialogue between managers and team members on their achievement
New development reviews based on a skill progression matrix enabling:
understanding of skills requiring development within current role
identification of skills requiring development to reach next expected roles
codification of individual personal training and development plan
Project example: new continuous performance assessment process for consultants, based on a skills progression matrix (consulting firm, 50 employees, Paris)
Definition of key skills for each practice area, as well as progression from junior consultant to senior partner
Deployment of a SAS system allowing:
assessment of demonstrated skills versus expectations for consultants on each assignment
Semi-anual consensus performance review, based on assessment conducted on each assignment
Project Example: Redesigned a Performance Management approach for a global company prior to deployment of its new global HRIS (BtoB services, 100,000 employees, 50 countries)
Alignment of country CHRO's on talent ambition
New continuous evaluation approach based on:
Annual OKR setting, reviewed regularly by managers and their team members
