Study Notes

Use Cases, Metrics and Models - Part 2

Presentation on October 11, 2023, focused on use cases, metrics, and models related to performance management.
A quick recap was presented.
Questions included metrics for workforce planning, attrition vs. turnover, recruitment, time to fill vs. time to hire, and learning & development.
An index was provided for performance UC, employee voice/experience UC, inclusion/diversity UC, and compensation UC.
The presentation covered performance management, highlighting use cases for implementing the performance management process in organizations

Performance Management Use Cases

Using analytics to understand employee performance in meeting business objectives.
Using generative AI to streamline performance review processes and improve outcomes.
Assessing high performers and high-potential employees, and identifying differentiation strategies.
Evaluating the impact of digital collaboration tools on performance improvement.
Examining the connection between performance, engagement, and training.

Performance Metrics

Feedback sent and received: real-time, continuous, and context-based employee feedback exchanges.
Promotions: frequency of promotions categorized by employment type, level, department, organization, country, and location. A flag system for 'eligible for promotion' is mentioned.
Performance results: final yearly evaluation ratings, including categories for exceptional performance, meets expectations, and requires improvement.

Performance Metrics (Continued)

Objectives: defined objectives/priorities; data cuts by department, level, organization, market, and location. Questions are raised about defining yearly, individual, and team objectives.
Engagement: engagement index at company level and departmental/organizational/level/market/location level. Engagement Index and survey participation data are used to compare to turnover, performance, etc.
Absenteeism: hours of absenteeism categorized by department, level, organization, market, and location.
Overtime: hours of overtime categorized by department, level, organization, market, and location.

Performance Tools

Different tools and measures tailored to specific audiences (performance team, performance leads, HR executives).
Performance operational reports: detailed reports on performance process status, feedback, promotions, and actions; provide high-level statistics across performance areas.
Performance achievement analytics tools: visual display of connected information for deep analysis of performance outcomes and relevant metrics (metrics related to diversity, organization, country, level, engagement, account, skills, training).
Ad-hoc analysis/models: examine the influence of engagement on performance factors; identify influencers, high-potential employees, collaboration patterns, useful information from feedback forms (skills, achievements, employee sentiments); organization network analysis.

Performance Tools (Continued)

Generative AI examples for analysis: analyzing communication and collaboration patterns to improve performance and inclusivity; summarizing performance for managers; creating understandable and actionable employee feedback; performance goal creation; personalized learning plans.
Key employee data types (compensation) include hire date, job start date; minimum, midpoint, and maximum salary range; base salary; bonus target; target cash compensation; Employee Total Compensation compared to market; salary and years in job (in the same structure).

Metrics: employee sentiment measured through surveys and feedback. The net promoter score (NPS) measures employee willingness to recommend the workplace. The score subtracts detractors (0-6 ratings) from promoters (9-10 ratings).
Tools: text analyzer tool uses NLP for monitoring/visualizing sentiment in various processes; survey solutions provide insights based on comment text fields and quantitative fields; segmentation enables insightful analysis of employee groups based on specific criteria.

Compensation
