TO BE RE-WRITTEN FROM THE SCRATCH
Performance management: Deloitte case study
For a company to meet its objectives, stay competitive and retain their best performers, it is important that it has an effective performance management system(Harvard Business Review, 2017). This was the realization at Deloitte, the largest professional services company in the world with regard to revenue and number of employees, when it decided to redesign its performance management system in 2015.The company hence reviewed how it manages the performance of its approximately250,000 worldwide employees by redesigning how it evaluates, trains, promotes, and pays them. This paper describes Deloitte’s performance management system as well as explaining the performance feedback processes. It also analyses the best practices that are aimed at improving performance. Further, the paper analyzes the importance of training in meeting the needs and performance as well as looks at how the training and performance management protects from litigation.
Deloitte’s performance management system
Deloitte aimed at having a “nimbler, real-time and more individualized” (Jogi, 2015) performance management system with a view to focusing on future performance rather than assessing past performance. The system hence got rid of cascading objectives, annual reviews and 360-degree feedback in preference of “speed, agility, one-size-fits-one…constant learning (and) collecting reliable performance data” (Jogi, 2015).
The redesign of the system was informed by the fact that previously, the company spent about 2 million working hours annually on performance management, with most of the time been spent by the leadersdiscussing the outcomes of the process. The company hence shifted the focus of the system from leaders’ talking to themselves to talking to the employees about their performances and careers so as to have a system that addresses the real-time world and that affects actual performance in the moment. The redesign was also informed by the knowledge that “assessing someone’s skills produces inconsistent data” (Jogi, 2015) because of the rater’s perceptions and biases, with the ratings eventually reflecting the rater rather than the employee been rated. Further, empirical study of Deloitte’s high-performing teams found out that members of the best teams felt “that they are called upon to do their best work every day” (Jogi, 2015), findings that were in tune with a previous Gallup study. Consequently, the new performance management system at the company aimed at leveraging the strengths of the employees, having teams with clarity of purpose and expectations, and been able to quickly “collect reliable and differentiated performance data” (Jogi, 2015).
The objectives of Deloitte’s performance management system hence are to recognize performance, clearly see the performance, and fuel the performance. Recognizing the performance involves considering talent-related by determining the extent to which project managers would want an employee in their team and the extent they would recommend higher compensation. There are plotted in a chart that can easily determine the variations among the employees so as to fairly allocate pay. The consequent data “supports objectivity in annual executive discussions about advancement” (Jogi, 2015). The data would also be usedto help low performers recover be to through coaching or new responsibilities.
In the second objective of clearly seeing the performance, Deloitte got rid of 360-degree feedback in preference of feedback from the individual team leader so as to overcome idiosyncratic rater effect. Further, rather than ask the team leader to rate the skills of the employee which may lead to bias and inconsistencies, the team leader is as……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
