Today, with their revolutionary new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/checkin\/\">Check-in<\/a> model, the company has saved an estimated 100,000+ hours on their performance process. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">With a transformation like that, Adobe has positioned itself as a top leader in <span class=\"s2\">continuous performance management<\/span>.

Check out the full session here:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As Donna put it, &#8220;ratings and rankings are a buzzkill for productivity and performance,\u201d which is why Adobe decided to drop its traditional annual reviews process. The company quickly realized that driving high performance and engagement requires an ongoing dialogue between managers and employees: if something\u2019s not going to work out, people want to know what\u2019s going on right away, not just once a year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Spearheaded<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0by Donna, the company moved to its new Check-in model, where managers and employees have frequent conversations\/check-ins about expectations tied to corporate priorities, ongoing feedback and career\/personal development. [tweet text=&#8221;Instead of one annual review, it&#8217;s all about an ongoing dialogue.&#8221;]<\/span><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Instead of tying an employee&#8217;s performance to one annual review, it\u2019s all about an ongoing dialogue based on business mechanisms,&#8221;[\/tweet] says Donna.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Adobe&#8217;s Check-in process has been entirely game-changing for the organization, with employees empowered to actively participate in their own success.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Technology can be a great enabler to ensure that objectives are documented and\u00a0feedback is being given regularly, adds Donna.\u00a0In fact, multiple groups within Adobe continue to ask for more structure, guidance and ways to facilitate the execution of these feedback processes. Here at BetterWorks, especially as we\u00a0see more and more companies begin to follow in Adobe&#8217;s footsteps,\u00a0we&#8217;re excited to witness what&#8217;s next in the company&#8217;s\u00a0revolutionary performance journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2011, Adobe\u2019s managers were spending an average of 17 hours per employee completing annual performance reviews.
