Measurement & Assessment Performance System

A Performance Assessment and Measurement that Works

Description:
The individual performance assessment and measurement process in most companies is complex, time consuming, costly, and, most importantly, ineffective.

It is generally accepted that measurement and assessment are both critical foundations for managing a high performing organization. Yet, in most organizations, nowhere is the absence of performance data more evident than at the level of individual performance.

This lack of objective, credible data underlies the almost universal dissatisfaction and distrust with the “annual review process.” Other performance management best practice efforts such as coaching and performance conversation are also hamstrung without solid performance data and reliable feedback assessments.

Many of our clients have looked to traditional enterprise performance management systems for help, but they find these systems difficult to implement, too costly, and requiring too much overhead.  In response, LSA, in conjunction with a key client, has developed a performance measurement and assessment system with one goal in mind: provide executives, managers, and individual contributors with tools that will effectively improve individual and organizational performance.

To ensure success, the Measurement & Assessment Performance System (MAPS) and corresponding processes were designed and tested based upon one of the most thoroughly researched and validated models on motivation and performance management best practices.

Guiding Objectives

1. Provide objectivity and transparency in performance data and feedback
2. Support top to bottom goal alignment within an organization
3. Foster goal ownership through collaborative goal development
4. Make goal development and modification simple, easy, and cost effective
5. Require minimal system support and minimal user training

2. Administrative Dashboards
   providing information views for direct reports  
    
3. Integrated 360 Assessment
   providing feedback on critical skills and behaviors
    
4. Real-Time Feedback & Data

5. Automated Employee Performance Rating
