Historically linked to the annual salary review, performance appraisals often focus on HR-driven criteria for skills and competencies rather than business outcomes. The human resources management (HRM) technology solutions offered by leading vendors are typically built around this dysfunctional paradigm.” - Forrester Research, Inc.

And in part two, we outlined those skills necessary to be innovative.

One point he made during the presentation was that organizations need to get better at hiring and engaging outsiders. Outsiders are people that are not familiar with the organization or the industry. Many people and companies take the view that outsiders cannot contribute because they don’t understand the uniqueness of the company.

There are many different types of turnover; some are welcome, and some aren’t. When a consistently poor performer with a bad attitude is replaced with an employee who excels, that’s the kind of turnover you want to see. However, that’s not always what happens. Very often, turnover can have some seriously negative effects on the organization. Financially: Every time a business replaces a salaried employee , it costs an average of 6-9 months’ salary. For a manager making $40K, that’s $20-$30,000.
