Book The Crowdsourced Performance Review  How to Use the Power of Social Recognition to Transform Employee Performance

Download or read book The Crowdsourced Performance Review How to Use the Power of Social Recognition to Transform Employee Performance written by Eric Mosley and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for The Crowdsourced Performance Review: "Take advantage of the technology and data available to you and turn the dreaded performance review into a powerful force for decision-making and culture-building by using the methods outlined in this clear and clever guide." --Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and Drive "Social technologies aren't just changing how people interact, they're fundamentally changing how businesses must engage with people inside and outside their organization. In The Crowdsourced Performance Review, Mosley shows HR and business leaders why a 'groundswell' approach for employee recognition is the key to driving better employee performance. This is one of the most innovative enterprise uses of crowdsourcing I've seen." --Charlene Li, founder of Altimeter Group, author of Open Leadership, and coauthor of Groundswell "In what is easily the most comprehensive and provocative Globoforce book to date, Mosley lays out a clear vision for how modern recognition systems can be integrated with performance management. This is one of the most interesting, innovative, and potentially important new approaches to performance management that I have seen in many years of working on this topic." --Gerald Ledford, Senior Research Scientist, Center for Effective Organizations, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California "The Crowdsourced Performance Review should be at the top of every HR professional's reading list. It shows convincingly why the traditional performance review doesn't work and how social recognition is the key to a performance system that actually makes an impact." --Kevin Kruse, Forbes Leadership columnist and bestselling author of Employee Engagement 2.0 "As a pioneer in multirater feedback, I love Eric's new application! Social media comes to visit the performance appraisal. Many minds can be better than one! Read this and find out how." --Marshall Goldsmith, author of New York Times bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won't Get You There Fix the Performance Review with the Wisdom of Crowds! Today's most successful companies are transforming their predictable "one-way" review processes into dynamic, collaborative systems that apply the latest social technologies. Instead of a one-time annual evaluation of performance, managers and employees receive collective feedback from everyone across their company. It's all achieved through crowdsourcing, and it generates more accurate, actionable results than traditional methods. With The Crowdsourced Performance Review, you'll create a review system that gathers the feedback of many, so you can make better, more informed decisions. And this new model is simpler than you think. It's based on three innovations: CROWDSOURCING: Applying the same techniques that companies like Apple, Angie's List, and Zagat use to inform customers, you can gather the same kind of data to inform managers. SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES: The most revolutionary communication tools since the telephone, these technologies have singlehandedly created a new language of business. ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE: When managed well, it's one of the most effective tools for building and maintaining a competitive advantage. These three assets come together for the purpose of evaluating performance in the practice of social recognition--a system in which all employees recognize each other's great work on a daily basis. Social recognition creates engagement, energy, and even happiness in a company--leading to the ultimate goal of a Positivity-Dominated Workplace.

Book Secrets of a Successful Employee Recognition System

Download or read book Secrets of a Successful Employee Recognition System written by Daniel C. Boyle and published by Productivity Press. This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would you feel if you started to get gifts from your company just for doing your job? It would probably start to make you feel pretty good about yourself and your company. The gifts would make you feel that your daily efforts are appreciated and that your work is important. That's the idea behind the 100 Club, a successful employee recognition program designed by Daniel Boyle for organizations such as Owens Coming Fiberglas, Nestle Chocolate, Scott Paper, and Holyoke Hospital. The 100 Club is an innovative recognition system combined with a suggestion system that dramatically improves productivity merely by supporting average worker performance. The short-term result is improved morale among employees; the long-term result is better company performance in every dimension. Here's how it works: award points are granted for routine aspects of performance, such as attendance, punctuality, and no lost time accidents. Points are also given for suggestions, and additional points are rewarded for those that result in cost savings. When a certain number of points have been accrued, the employee becomes a member of the 100 Club and starts receiving gifts. 100 Clubs, while simple in concept, are remarkably powerful in effect: for an annual cost of about $20 per employee, 100 Clubs have netted returns as high as 250 times the investment, as well as major improvements in productivity, quality, absentee rates, worker-employer relations, company morale, and worker safety. Delightful to read and packed with detailed advice, this book describes the simple process for putting together a 100 Club. It provides pointers on developing objective measures for determining point value and is loaded with examples that will inspire your own program. You'll learn how to design and tailor a 100 Club to support both the goals of your organization and the specific expectations and needs of your employees. It includes: Discovering the language of points. How to install the 100 club Employee Recognition System in an organization. Sample designs of the 100 Club Employee Recognition System as implemented by other organizations. A Comparison of employee-generated suggestions by U.S., Japanese, and 100 club organizations. At a time when the traditional loyalty compact is no longer valid, American businesses are desperately seeking ways to increase employee commitment and morale. The competitive edge will go to those organizations that find ways to recognize the daily contributions of all employees, and to say 'thank you'.

Book The Progress Principle

Download or read book The Progress Principle written by Teresa Amabile and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.
