What problems is WorkDove solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the system we had in place, I was never able to successfully complete an annual performance review process for my department. The burden of executing the process was 100% on me as the manager. The process itself was time-consuming and challenging to work with as we shared the same review template with the same business objectives across many departments in our organization. Weekly employee check-ins were time-consuming and emotionally taxing as - again - the burden fell on me as the manager to orchestrate and guide through seven conversations every week. As a result, I found myself spending 80% of my time fighting my way through the process - trying to make it work for my department - and 20% of my time coaching my direct reports.
Using WorkDove, I now have a process that works for me, not against me. The WorkDove philosophy inspired me to develop department Values and Objectives with my team, which created more alignment for us that we ever had. Using customized Check-In and Performance Review Templates that are tailored to the various job descriptions in my department makes it very easy for my direct reports to drive the agenda of our 1-on-1 conversations - which they happily do. WorkDove effectively took the time and emotional burden of weekly check-ins off me, which freed up time for me and significantly improved my employee performance management experience.
Using the tools and training from WorkDove, the conversations between me and my direct reports improved, their job satisfaction improved, my job satisfaction improved, and it helped me become a better manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
