Strategic Job Map Canvas (The Balance Scorecard)
Watts & Associates’ Show Observe Interact and Grow (SOIG) organizational and performance management technology provides businesses with tools for achieving its goals at every level. Specifically, its appraisal component is especially useful in this regard, it is based on a balanced scorecard. That is to say, employees should be assessed on the terms in their respective job descriptions. This is what we call the SJMC (Strategic Job Map Canvas). With this in hand, the SOIG appraisal tool facilitates accurate tracking of performance. Further-more, it inspires collaboration among management, employees, and all stakeholders.
Historically, a common criticism of performance appraisal approaches is their lack of objectivity and accurate-on time evaluation. Consequently, appraisers are often unable to connect facts to events surrounding performance. Moreover, appraisees do not receive feed-back on time.
Building Trust
At Watts & Associates, we believe helping employees reach maximum productivity, requires giving them ownership of their performance. As such, self-reflection, and accepting constructive criticism is as important as employees disclosing their needs and concerns without fear of reprisal. Employees need to be guaranteed a safe working environ- ment where social interactions are clear. In this vein, we support
shaping a culture
of respect by integrating core values (a central element of culture) with the technical work of employees.
Feedback Is a Two-Way Process
Advancing on trust building, the SOIG appraisal tool makes the future “now”. As so, every member of the organization participates in a continuous appraisal process. “In the Now” messaging adds relevance to appraisals when employees provide narratives to
outcome metrics and other forms of outcomes.
Working in tandem, employees are encouraged to provide feedback to management to ensure management is supplying the right level of support and resources for successful performance. Ultimately, continued personal and professional growth for all employees, regard-less of their role, is the objective of our employee-centered appraisal system. This sets us apart from other solutions offering similar services.
SOIG Has You Covered
To explain, shaping and maintaining workplace cultures with integrity has become difficult in today’s changing business markets. High turnover, elimination of jobs, role reassignments, and disconnected leadership and management, are just some of indicators of these changes. When they occur, productivity is diminished as continuity, direction, and expectations become less clear. If you believe that people are not the problem, the technical platform with which you evaluate employee performance what needs improvement.
The first question we will ask is, “Do you have a strategic job map that aligns employee roles? If the answer is “no,” SOIG has you covered. Whenever roles change or changes in personnel occur eases notifies individuals of the changes. Once a job map is populated, our software informs people of the change, at the right time. This occurs with little effort from your system administrator. We call this smart communication “being in the now.” To illustrate this, Dr. Watts discusses how “In the Now” messaging keeps employees engaged.
“Using a sophisticated hybrid platform, SOIG provides a way to support a ‘perpetual state of now.’ Being in the now means being continuously informed through active engagement with goal and task connectivity, system wide. Thus, SOIG builds successful partnerships by giving people access to critical information to encourage reciprocity with sharing resources during tasks, and reducing the stress caused by uncertainty and change.”
Being consistent with Dr. Watts’ comments, we believe prioritizing the professional development and wellbeing of people is a necessity. To this end, we will you show how to customize content in our eLearning center, to build individual and team capacities. Moreover, SOIG inspires collaboration, which allows employees to locate and invite colleagues to participate in or share expertise on any constructive topic.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that we are no “dog-and-pony show.” What we do with our individual clients is highly personalized. We provide a software that will reduce your stress, keep employees focused, engaged, and dedicated.
