How are others designing the process and rating components? We are revamping our performance management process. We are considering having ratings for goals based on our company strategy and ratings based on our values. We plan to use a 5-point rating scale.

In our case, we are going on the same path. The 5-point rating scale is useful for future data and analytics. It makes data more consistent. We are adding aggregated goals across different layers, from top to bottom to implement a total alignment in the strategic objectives.

Hi, 

we use a 5 point scale and both the WHAT and HOW counts. 

1 = unsuccessful performance 
2 = developing performance
3= successful performance
4= exceptional performance
5= exceptional performance with outstanding results

The latter is something that dates from the past and which I am trying to challenge and actually then move to 4 point scale. The challenge of a 5 point scale is that managers tend to put people comfortably in the middle.

Hello! 
We do the same using a 5 point scale. Some goals are cascaded top down based on strategy and others are standing goals linked with our values. We have 360s and a continuous feedback portal to gather objective feedback as a source of input for the behavioural rating.

Hi Najla, I'm wondering what do you use for 360's and feedback - did you build your own platform or do you have a subscription? Thanks.

We have a 5-point scale, as well, which focuses on overall performance.  We do not yet rate company strategy goals. I hope we get there soon!

With some orgs I have worked with we have removed ratings altogether because people often get fixated on the rating vs their output making it more of a tick box exercise. In its placed we added coaching questions focusing on the what and how to help drive more meaningful performance conversations.
My personal view is that ratings are outdated however I can see why orgs still use them. Happy to share more if interested.

We are working on the next level of our global business strategy and I expect the leaders to indicate what type of profiles and skills they need. For me this is not an HR task only so I need our CIO for instance, to share ...read more
