Workplace Application:
You will learn how Synaptics designed and implemented a simple, ratingless performance management process.
Synaptics had a very traditional, best practice performance management process. However, the process was long and took too much time so the executive team demanded a change. Performance Management was used as the lever to create this change. Synaptics fundamentally reimagined their process to create “Performance Conversations,” a focused and simplified process that allows employees and managers to connect, collaborate, and contribute. This session will share:
- Lessons learned from focus groups that may surprise you about how the performance management process is really working in your company.
- How Synaptics created a bridge to compensation without performance ratings.
- The change management approach taken to implement a significant change requiring new skills for managers.
- Considerations for implementing this process globally, as 50% of Synaptic's employees are in Asia.
