In this article, I highlight the latest trends in performance management and why feedback is taking the business world by storm.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Some <a href=\"https:\/\/business.linkedin.com\/talent-solutions\/blog\/trends-and-research\/2016\/5-Employee-Feedback-Stats-That-You-Need-to-See\"><span class=\"s3\">75%<\/span><\/a> of workers believe feedback is valuable, but less than a third receive it. &nbsp;Last year, we saw a mass exodus of companies abandoning their annual review program. But it wasn\u2019t just because the review process needed a revamp\u2014employees\u2019 demand for feedback is driving business leaders to change the way feedback is given and received. In the HR 2.0 era, organizations must place a greater focus on processes and programs designed to attract, hire and maximize talent. When people at an organization are performing at their very best, the company can win out among the competition. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let\u2019s look at it from the employee\u2019s perspective. Imagine if your Fitbit gave you your step count at the end of the year instead of daily. You\u2019d have no reason to make any changes. It\u2019s no wonder employees feel the constant need for more feedback and recognition. It\u2019s a requirement for them to improve at work and progress in their career.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Give Feedback to Employees\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1008923918?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rolling out a continuous performance management\u2122 program allows companies to give employees what they want: real time feedback in context of their work. HBR reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/10\/the-performance-management-revolution\"><span class=\"s4\">one in three companies<\/span><\/a> are moving to a continuous performance management model so employees can leverage ongoing feedback. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For this edition of Performance Management Watch, we asked real HR leaders and influencers to weigh in. Here are the actions they\u2019re taking to embrace the future of feedback at work:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Helpful feedback, more often <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/easttenthgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/feedback-chart-1.png\">East Tenth Group Inc.<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> recently found that the overwhelming majority of employees want feedback from managers monthly or at least quarterly. In fact, only 10% of non-millennial employees and 5% of Millennials think annual feedback is effective. This explains why we must overhaul the performance management process. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaplanuniversity.edu\/women-in-business-technology-leadership\/who-to-lunch-with..aspx\">Susan Pettine<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\">, PhD, CBM, faculty member at Kaplan University School of Business and Information Technology notes that it will be essential for managers to provide much more frequent feedback on performance for their employees. She believes \u201cthis can be done on a daily basis, and can be facilitated via text or e-mail.&nbsp;Continuous and meaningful short burst exchanges of performance feedback can revitalize a workforce and will become more embedded in organizations over the next few years.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Recently, Adobe open-sourced its continuous performance model, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/check-in.html\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201ccheck-in.\u201d<\/span><\/a> The company has become a poster child for successfully moving trading annual reviews in for a continuous feedback process. By enabling a system for more frequent feedback, Adobe managers are able to reward employees based on performance and stay in-tune enough with employees\u2019 work to have meaningful conversations that help them improve at work and for their long-term career goals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Removing the Bias<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gender, according to Senior Vice President of Talent at the <a href=\"https:\/\/briefercopy.com\/manipulation-in-advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advertising<\/a> and digital agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barkernyc.com\/\"><span class=\"s3\">BARKER<\/span><\/a>, still plays too large a role in the style and methodology of delivering feedback. Holding a bias based on gender, ethnicity or even memory can really impede the flow of helpful feedback. Similarly, when managers rely on their memory to conduct performance reviews instead of tracking and assessing performance over time, it\u2019s the employee who suffers. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tim Elmore, President of leadership training company Growing Leaders, says future feedback will be reinforced by actual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/magazine\/say-examples-good-bad-feedback\/\">feedback examples<\/a> or facts. Employees should feel emboldened to ask a manager who has just critiqued them questions like for \u201can example of when that happened.\u201d To remove bias from the feedback equation we must present the facts and eliminate outside distractions, from gender to recent events. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Turning managers into coaches<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dorie Blesoff, Chief People Officer at kCura, encourages monthly performance coaching across her 600-person organization. The company\u2019s internal data shows that consistent coaching increases both performance ratings and employee satisfaction. Blesoff is seeing a greater demand for feedback that specifically helps team members grow and feel connected to their leader, and a desire for a well-defined path for career growth. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Feedback is the common denominator between managers and employees. It gives managers the capability to coach employees to become better at their job, and set up for long-term career success. When organizations learn how to give feedback in real time, given in the context of work or an individual\u2019s career trajectory, it becomes meaningful and easier for the employee to apply. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Feedback isn\u2019t scary<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Our brains are hypersensitive to anything we perceive as a potential threat. In their book, <a href=\"https:\/\/theleadingbrain.com\/\"><span class=\"s3\">The Leading Brain<\/span><\/a>, neuropsychologist Friedericke Fabritius, MS and leadership expert Hans Hagemann, Ph.D. discuss why a culture of fear isn\u2019t beneficial for workers. In companies where employees are fearful to admit mistakes or reluctant to acknowledge weakness, it will only lead to a culture of distrust or doubt. Fabritius and Hagemann suggest \u201cpromoting role models who provide candid feedback in the work environment wherever and whenever it is needed\u201d to reduce threat and increase trust. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s6\">This April, the Defense Department will roll out a new performance evaluation system for its 250,000 civilian employees, who work with the Air Force, Navy Bureau, National Guard and other services. The goal of the overhaul is to ensure no feedback comes as a shock to employees. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Paige Hinkle-Bowles, former deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Civilian Personnel Policy told <a href=\"https:\/\/federalnewsradio.com\/defense\/2017\/02\/dod-prepares-transition-hundreds-thousands-employees-new-personnel-management-system\/\"><span class=\"s4\">Federal News Radio<\/span><\/a>, \u201cOne of the changes we are really trying to advocate through this system would be that we have communication throughout the ratings cycle and that the employees receive recognition and acknowledgement of their performance and their contribution to the nation throughout the ratings cycle and then there is nothing that comes as a surprise on the 365th day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>AI will fill the gaps<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Machine learning is already playing a starring role in the feedback process. For example, we\u2019re leveraging AI to prompt peer feedback based on who employees work with most often. We can leverage data about employees, their work and their habits and apply pattern recognition technology to prompt feedback from relevant people, or to start conversations based on what\u2019s most important to employees. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even beyond feedback, organizations are leveraging AI to fill the skills gap, internally. Litmos, a learning management system by CallidusCloud, leverages automation to assign personalized learning programs based on competency gaps. This is just one example of how structured feedback can be leveraged to help employees learn and grow in their roles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Feedback has various sources <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Traditionally, we think of feedback as communication happening between managers and employees at a set time and place, but this mindset is holding us back. Feedback from other sources in various formats help employees love their job and work environment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimmalonescott.com\/\"><span class=\"s3\">Kim Scott<\/span><\/a>, who has coached executives at Dropbox, Qualtrics and Twitter, believes companies should look for ways to operationalize impromptu feedback and peer kudos systems. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As millennials join the workforce and take on upper management roles, it\u2019s prompting feedback from all directions. Laura Yip, co-founder and Chief People Officer at mobile game network <\/span><span class=\"s7\">Storm8<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, predicts that over the next few years, with more millennials moving into management roles, organizations will be more open-minded to giving and receiving upward feedback. Organizations that support giving and receiving feedback from all directions\u2014whether it\u2019s peer to peer feedback or between managers and employees\u2014are creating more opportunities for employees to lean in on feedback to improve.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When organizations fully embrace feedback, it can change the entire demeanor of a workforce. Employees should enter their workplace knowing they have opportunities to improve and move forward in their career. To fully embrace HR 2.0, performance management and feedback must remain continuous. Employees deserve more than one-and-done feedback, and organizations shouldn\u2019t miss the opportunity to retain and motivate their workforce. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1606877081213\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do employees actually enjoy feedback?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When thinking of this question at first, it might initially seem that employees may not like the idea of feeling scrutinized by receiving feedback.
