May 8, 2008 6:00 AMGoals vs. Reality and Employee Engagement DefinedTwo funny quips that put a smile on my faceCategory: Performance and Talent Management Goal Management Employee Evaluations Two funny quips from the KnowHR blog that I just picked up on and wanted to share because they put a smile on my face. In a Monday post titled What are your People Thinking? Frank Roche speculates on a few things they may be thinking, including "I need to check a box on my goals for my crappy performance review process." Now, we know somewhere, at least one person thought that very thing on Monday morning. And why? Probably because there's no clear relation between that goal and reality. Or anything they can relate to at least. So, that said, all of us -- HR and managers -- should take a moment and think about how to make a real connection between employee goals, and the big picture. So that it isn't our employees with those "crappy performance review" thoughts. Last week KnowHR did a post on People I'd Like to Hire detailing a whole list of traits Frank Roche looks for. He then shared one person’s comment on their definition of employee engagement, which he calls the best ever -- "When they are there, they are there." Maybe that sounds too simplistic -- but it sums it up nicely in my mind. Engagement can be such a hard thing to quantify -- but you know it when you see it. An employee who’s mentally involved and invested in what is happening in the organization. While it may be hard to quantify, at least it can be constantly improved, especially with the right programs and processes in place. Here's hoping your employees are happy to come to work and are engaged in what they are doing. And if not, that you're taking steps to change it.

April 24, 2008 6:45 AMWho is and isn’t talent? It all depends…Category: Performance and Talent Management Great post over at Jon Ingham's Strategic HR blog earlier this week on Managing Talent Who Aren't Managers. It discusses how UPS identified its drivers as "talent" - which challenges how many organizations continue to view only managers or high potentials as talent. MORE
