Study Notes
Inclusion
- Inclusion: Values the uniqueness of every employee, creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and are treated fairly.
- Climate of Inclusion: A shared perception by employees of the employer's policies, procedures, and activities focused on creating a sense of belonging and valuing individual differences.
-
Formal practices for increasing diversity:
- Recruitment & Selection: Focus on recruitment rather than selection to avoid delegitimizing individuals.
- Targeted leadership and development programs: Avoid creating the perception that these programs are intended to "fix" minorities.
-
Formal practices for enhancing inclusion:
- Diversity and anti-bias training: Be mindful that such training can backfire if not implemented carefully.
- Proactive mentorship programs: Encourage active connections between employees to promote a sense of belonging.
- Highlight the value of each employee's unique contributions: Celebrate individual talents and contributions.
-
Formal practices for creating accountability:
- Measure the demographic makeup of the organization: Organizations should track and monitor the demographics of their workforce.
- Make performance evaluation contingent on inclusion statistics: Hold managers accountable for ensuring inclusive practices.
-
Informal practices for enhancing inclusion:
- Informal mentorship: Encourage informal mentorship programs to provide guidance and support.
- Support Flexible Work Arrangements: Offer flexible work arrangements to accommodate diverse needs.
- Develop a team charter: Encourage teams to create charters that foster a sense of shared purpose and belonging.
- Outwardly demonstrate support for inclusion: Leaders should consistently advocate for and model inclusive behaviors.
- Key takeaway: Both formal and informal organizational policies need to be aligned with managerial actions to create a truly inclusive workplace.
Performance Measurement
-
Two types of performance measurement approaches:
- Comparative Rating Methods: Rank employees against each other (e.g., forced distribution).
- Absolute Rating Methods: Rate employees based on predetermined standards (e.g., Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale - BARS).
-
Criticisms of performance reviews:
- Focus on identifying past mistakes: Instead of focusing on strengths and development, reviewers focus on past errors.
- Infrequent and poor alignment with employee progress: Reviews are often done only once a year and fail to consider ongoing progress.
-
Improvements to performance measurement:
- Strength-based feedback: Focus on identifying and developing employees’ strengths.
- Focus on future behavior and personal development: Offer guidance on how to improve and move forward.
- Continuous and personalized feedback: Provide ongoing, context-specific feedback to support employee development.
Trends in Performance Management
- Shifting focus from performance reviews to continuous performance management: Move away from infrequent, formal reviews to ongoing feedback and development.
- Emphasis on strength-based feedback: Focus on identifying and developing employees’ strengths to achieve better outcomes.
- Importance of integrating performance management with talent development: Ensure that performance measures and feedback align with individual and organizational growth goals.
