One in five people would prefer never to have an assessment meeting. Eight out of ten people believe that performance and assessment interviews in their current form are outdated, showed the survey by the HR cloud software provider among 1100 Dutch employees. The results apply to both younger and older employees; there is almost no distinction between different generations.
What Do We Want Then?
It is not that we prefer no feedback from our boss: 41%want this throughout the year. An almost equally large group (38%) would prefer more than twice a year. A smaller group would like to ask for feedback when they need it.
The need to engage in continuous conversation with each other is increasing, says Henk Jan van Commenee, product manager for talent management at Raet in the accompanying press release. “The employee would like to follow one’s own development. Therefore you constantly need to make them responsible for their own growth and development”.
Focus on Positives
He advises that employers push the questionnaires to the side and have a real conversation. “That is how a learning culture is created where employees can get the best out of themselves”.
The research has been done to promote HR tool TMA. Mark Vlemmings, the product manager of the company recommends not only to focus on the less good points of an employee, but to go out of the opportunities to develop natural talents. “The employee cycle will appreciate more this adjustments from the conversation and he will have faster progress”.
