Elizabeth's Information

• Facilitate achieve of goals – Board of Directors (BOD) sets goals/expectations for the year, company CEO and CFO research and forecast what measures need to be completed to meet expectations of BOD. Each department makes their own goals for fiscal year (FY), post on intranet – communication company-wide. Once department goals have been set, employees map careers based on individual and company goals.
• Attraction – ??
• Retention – Since employees understand the job expectations, helps retain them. Process creates visibility; individuals can see how their role and goals contribute the overall company goal.
• Motivation – employees own the process responsible for creating goals and are held accountable for achieving them; helps motivate employees to understand their job responsibilities and expectations.

Lindsay's Information:

• The department maps the goals to the company and then the employee maps their goals to the department goals.
• The purpose of the new system is creating a goal focused performance system that links the company goals to the employee goals.
• Attraction: The design of Compass is a spreadsheet format that maps the employee’s goals to the company goals. The simple format of filling out a spreadsheet form can be attractive to employees because the form speaks for itself and it’s not time consuming.

Column 1 – employee’s goals

Column 2 – choose one of the organization’s goals listed that best fit where your career goals are heading

Column 3 – the status of the goal

Column 4 – employee’s competencies and their developing needs

Column 5 – satisfactory level and were expectations met

Column 6 – last updated

• Retention:
• Motivation: All employees want to further their career so having a performance management system that allows for employees to track their career goals with the organization’s goals motivates employees to achieve. Not only are they completing organization goals and making progress better but they are achieving their own goals.

Jeff's Info:

• Facilitate achievement of goals: "Strictly focused on goals...the company comes out with it's goals and then the department maps it's goals to the companies, then you (ees) map their goals to the departments." STRENGTH, ees develop their own goals so they feel more connected and a greater sense of responsibility and motivation since they understand exactly what has to be done.
• Attraction; ?
• Motivation; see my comment above: "This system could promote meritocracy since it's not clear how you are a superstar here or how you are going to exceed within the company." - Maneka

-My thoughts on how there can be a problem with motivation; There is no plan that says "OK if your PM report says you've met 5 out of your six goals you will get a bonus." So ees don't know what to expect-they can’t visualize the personal benefits for their work.
