Are Learning Goals Better Than Performance Goals

HR Bartender

Not all goals are the same. That was a big takeaway for me from this year’s WorkHuman conference, hosted by Globoforce. Maybe on some level I knew this, but speaker Caroline Adams Miller really made me focus on the topic by discussing the difference between performance and learning goals. Performance goals are ones that focus on an outcome. The outcome (or goal) is based on performance.

Take me to the pilot… Good Incentive Design

What is Paul Thinking

Incentive programs are sometimes more art than science. I think that is due to a variety of studies that contradict each other and gurus who do the same. That tension creates “gray” areas and they get filled with the “art” part of the design.

Complain Your Way to Better Employee Engagement

Hppy

Everyone complains. If they say they aren’t, they are probably lying. Most people handle complaining in one of two ways: they join in the complaining or they say, “Stop complaining. It could be worse.”. Businesses run the risk of hurting productivity and employee engagement by ignoring complaints or actively discouraging complaining.
