The chatter is focused on how to promote a coaching culture throughout the year to continuously improve employee performance.

Companies have seen a bit of a revolution in performance-based pay in the past few years. Most have removed the rank-and-yank style of performance management. Some are removing performance ratings altogether to emphasize the future-looking, coaching-based conversations managers should be having with employees. If the intent of performance management is truly to improve performance, the old ways of doing performance evaluation just don’t cut it.

One has to do with performance management, going “ratingless,” and the best ways to link performance with pay. One of the underlying questions seems to be whether merit matrices are still the way to go when it comes to acknowledging performance with pay. Do you have enough budget to meaningfully differentiate increases for top performers? The challenge is that 3 percent raises may not be an effective tool to encourage high performance.

A merit matrix is a two-factored table created by HR Departments to help managers equitably allocate raises across their employee population. It provides a framework for managers and guides them through the merit increase decision-making process. Performance rating options are plotted along the vertical side of the matrix and the position-in-range options along the horizontal side.
