As one of the world’s most innovative companies and respected employers, Google listened when 47% of their employees said that their performance review system wasn’t a good use of their time. In an effort to create a system that emphasizes business impact and reduces employee fixation on promotions and compensation, CEO Sundar Pichai announced this week that the company would move toward an annual review system underpinned by regular, ongoing check-ins between managers and employees to ensure timely and meaningful feedback and plan career development. This model — what we at Betterworks call Performance Enablement — has been proven time and time again by our customers to be a more effective way to not only drive real business results but to create a better employee experience and cultivate engagement.
