Do you develop your people?

Over the last few years, WorldatWork has observed new trends in performance management including companies adopting more frequent and ratingless performance review processes.

Adopting these new trends has obvious recruitment, engagement, development, and compensation implications.

Traditionally, there is a misalignment between performance management, employee development and organizational health. Further, direct managers are often challenged by the time needed to maintain the development cadence with their employees to maximize performance.

In this session, Jeremy Spake (LinkedIn profile) Principal Consultant, Advisory Services for Cornerstone onDemand, will explore several emerging trends through examining case studies of companies using these new performance management concepts.

Discussing specific actions, Jeremy steps us through how to diagnose your current performance strategy, the benefits the latest trends have on employee engagement as it pertains to performance management, as well as discerning between learning activities and development achievement.

Success stories, lessons learned and considerations will be shared from multiple accounts of companies overhauling their performance management, learning and development strategies.

Many non-expert readers find the amount of technical detail in a requirements document overwhelming.

Faced with a series of long lists and elaborate diagrams, their eyes tend to glaze over. Consequently, they may not examine your document thoroughly enough to be able to provide you with the feedback you need.

The key to creating requirements non-experts can easily read is to think like an web designer and make usability a key factor in your writing.

In this webinar Dawn will introduce you to four simple, easy-to-implement strategies for producing user-friendly requirements:

  • Provide an overview highlighting the business goals and benefits
  • Use summary statements to introduce sections
  • Manage long bulleted lists by using parallelism and subdivisions
  • Integrate use case diagrams and other visuals so they are easy to interpret

As with web design, subtle adjustments can make a big difference to the user experience.

Working within your organization’s template for requirements, you can easily apply user-friendly writing strategies to improve your communication with colleagues as well as stakeholders.

Presenter: Dr. Dawn Henwood (LinkedIn profile) is a published author of A Writing Guide for IT Professionals, columnist, associate professor and program developer/director. She specializes in helping technical experts bridge the gap in knowledge and values that so often separates them from their customers. Her methods have even the most reluctant writers producing clear documents with ease and confidence.
