Turn evaluation into growth

Performance evaluations inform talent and compensation decisions. Once those decisions are made, return the focus to coaching and growth.

Build on strengths, recognize contributions, and identify development opportunities or expanded responsibilities. Meaningful growth plans give people a path forward even when a promotion is not available.

What people learn should inform their next goals and responsibilities. Growth feeds back into expectations, and the cycle continues with a clearer understanding of what is possible.

Put it into practice

  • Keep evaluation from crowding out coaching and growth.
  • Identify development opportunities and changes in responsibility.
  • Agree on ownership, support, and a follow-up point.
  • Use what you learn to shape the next set of goals.
