In this webinar, we’ll show you how you can change your performance review process to something your employee and leadership team can all get behind.

9. Over the past several years, a seemingly endless list of
leading companies have done away with their annual
performance review process, and moved towards a more
feedback centric model
Companies started to experiment with
new approaches
10. Moved towards a feedback centric model
“By the fall of 2012, Adobe had totally redesigned its
performance management system to eliminate the
yearly performance review and replace it with a more
frequent and less formal "check-in" process.
Managers and employees meet for check-in
discussions at least once a quarter. The discussion
isn’t scripted, and no paperwork is filled out, however
every check-in discussion covers three topics:
expectations, feedback, and growth and
development.”
15. “The reality is, even when companies get rid of
performance evaluations, ratings still exist. Employees
just can’t see them. Ratings are done subjectively,
behind the scenes, and without input from the people
being evaluated.”

Give your employees
opportunities to learn new
skills and provide pathways
for career progress
Care
Show employees that you
value their efforts
Impact
Provide the opportunity to make
an impact both day-to-day and
on the company’s mission.
Start by building a culture focused on
employee development
19. Be transparent
Employees want to know
where they stand, and how
they can get better.
Pro tip
Build goal setting into the fabric of your
organization. Don’t just set goals, but reward
employees when they reach them.
20. Managers are
the key
Manager is a specific job
that’s focused on helping
their team get better and
reach goals
Pro tip
1:1s should be able employee development,
not daily tasks
Pro tip
Provide two development tracks one for
managers, and one for high performing ICs
21. Not just annual
reviews
Move towards a
continuous performance
management system
Pro tip
Treat performance management like a
product that needs to be evolved over time
23. Benefits of continuous performance
management
Development
Take employee development
from a once a year moment,
to the forefront of your
organization.
Alignment
Employees will understand
how they can make an impact
on the company and their
career.
Employee satisfaction
Remove some “scariness”
from performance reviews,
while limiting time spent on
reviews.

25. Successful performance management
increases employee performance and

can make an impact.
