Program Description
Over the past few years performance management has undergone a long overdue transformation. The most dreaded HR tool for both managers and employees is finally moving toward a program of development, ongoing communication and yes, even elevating performance.
A vital aspect to these changes involves providing employees with the tools that will help them achieve goals. The system of Objectives and Key Results, or OKRs, has given employees the power to set their own goals that still align with the organization, while supporting their own growth. Many tech companies, famously led by Google, have become the evangelists for this new system. And it’s not just being embraced by organizations. Individuals have found using OKRs as a personal system of achievement can provide enormous benefits.
Join us this month for an interactive discussion of the recent changes in performance management with the emergence of new tools like OKRs that help organizations, and individuals, achieve new levels of performance. Please bring 2-3 performance objectives that relate to you personally, professionally or examples from your organization or clients.
