If you’ve been following the Globoforce blog these past few months, you may recall that we recently published a report with findings from the 2016 SHRM/Globoforce employee recognition survey. Do these trends in employee recognition, performance management, retention, and engagement look different outside of the U.S.? A bit about the survey: Main respondents were senior reward managers and global mobility managers.

You must be having the most hardworking and skilled team in the organization, but you realize that they are not performing well for the last few months! Yes, you guessed it right; most employees fail to perform well when they do not receive enough recognition.

The importance of employee recognition is often overlooked – are you aware of the impact? Employee recognition is essential for motivating, retaining and fully engaging our employees. Now, employees expect – and respond – to the same approach when it comes to recognizing their contributions within the workplace. This means the days of annual appraisals and salary as the sole driver for employees are behind us. Source: Globoforce.

Instead, many are contemplating radical transformations of what HR can be and how we can better provide an employee experience. They are fundamentally breaking down and rebuilding services across learning, talent acquisition, and performance. Perhaps nowhere are we seeing more of this happen than around performance and related appraisal and compensation activities. The driving force for much of this change is the evolving nature of performance itself.

Traditional performance reviews are an interesting paradox. In most cases, employee performance is appraised broadly. Managers form a general impression of work over the course of an entire year (with some amount of bias toward what has occurred most recently).
