Performance Review Process - Seeking Innovative, Meaningful & Creative Processes?
Our small healthcare technology company is looking to overall the performance review process from a traditional competency/goal format to one that is more meaningful for all. Would anyone be willing to share their innovative, meaningful and creative processes/forms they've implemented?

Hi Linda!
I'm looking to revamp our performance management processes too. I'm looking to move to a "continuous feedback" model and reduce the annual review process down to just a compensation review and increase. I've found Armin Trost's book The End of Performance Appraisal to be very thought-provoking on the topic. It's a very academic book but does have some practical examples of non-traditional approaches. I've also found An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization to be good. It's a totally different approach - focusing on case studies of different organizational cultures that focus on talent development.
I am still working to sketch out my approach but I'm thinking to train managers on how to have meaningful 1 on 1s that touch on performance, company values and EE development as well as feedback from the EE. If we do that well, a formal annual review becomes irrelevant. I'd love to chat with you or anyone else on this topic!
