Ongoing Talent Management
Creating Objective Progress Notes
Multiple objective progress notes should be entered for each objective to record the annual progress of the employee on that objective. These notes convey a date and the related text.
Objective progress notes record progress towards the definite objective during regular intervals throughout the year. These progress notes can then be part of the basis of the annual performance review, where text can be right away copied from them into the 'Objective Results' for the review.
Setting Future Objectives
Any objectives that have dates beyond the review period are considered as future objectives these can be specified in the review form at the discretion of management.
However in the case where there are no 'Future Objectives' sections on the review form its placement in the review has to be decided. Alternatively they may be better placed in the 'Development Plans' section.
Using Reminders for Objectives
Performance-related information gathered throughout the complete review period allows the reports to be on rock-solid legal base as well as be effective. But in a practical environment it might be very tricky to keep in mind to observe daily performance. The Reminders function allows managers to track the progress of employees toward an objective by alerting them of failure in entering Objective Progress Notes within a specified interval. The Reminder Period can be set depending on elements like number of employees, review periods, and performance level of each employee. The time period can be kept flexible for each employee or be uniform for all ' it depends upon the rate of progress of each employee.
Conclusion
So by instilling a regular ongoing process of properly documenting objectives and their progress along with documenting ongoing performance instances, an organization can be made more effective and an performance evaluation can become more credible in the eyes of law and also the employees themselves.
