Description

It is not uncommon for managers of structural engineering firms to facilitate employee performance reviews. The frequency, format, complexity, and formality of these reviews vary widely from company to company. A vast majority of human resource managers argue that annual performance reviews have little impact on individual performance, and may lead to significant reductions in employee productivity and engagement. Over the past decade, many firms have made significant changes to their performance review processes to address these concerns and some have even abolished or considered eliminating numerical performance ratings. Organizations with multiple offices in several different regions have the added complexity of developing employee performance reviews for skills that may not be consistent for the same position. Smaller firms may not have the tools or resources to execute an effectively managed process.

This presentation aims to highlight key strategies to transform the traditional performance review into a positive, productive, and beneficial process for employees, managers, and a firm’s office culture. With reference to SE3 survey data, recent studies by other organizations and institutions, this session will share best practices for the feedback process, for greatest impact on employee engagement, career development, and overall retention.

  • Course will award 1.25 hours of continuing education
