Engaging and Retaining Talent with Optimum Performance Feedback Made Simple

The greatest challenge for Human Resource Professionals over the next ten years will be the need for obtaining, retaining, and fully engaging human capital.  This is according to a recent SHRM poll of HR professionals (Society for Human Resource Management September 2010 poll).  

Effective performance feedback can cultivate a culture of trust, open communication, and can create alignment between employees’ work and the organizational objectives. In other words, effective performance feedback is a critical management skill for attracting, engaging, and retaining the talent needed to remain competitive in a global economy.

The process includes:

• A new ground-breaking leadership model that provides a simple framework for anyone and everyone to give feedback instantly and frequently.
• Why the current performance management design imposes a barrier to trust and engagement and the list of characteristics of the new model that make it superior to the current unsuccessful performance review process.
• An advanced and pioneering tool that can be used immediately to provide effective performance feedback in a safe and unemotional manner with anyone and by anyone (even the boss).
• Why attorneys say this process helps protect the organization from legal challenges while helping to accelerate and more effectively address the "poor performers."
• How the leadership model and the tool can save valuable management time and improve management competency while improving employee and organization performance.
