This Review Season It's Go Team or Go Home

Chad Savoy

VP of Sales, Datadog

Businesses ultimately depend on the success of teams, but performance reviews focus on the strengths and weaknesses of individuals.

How do you bridge the gap?

Look at the whole team

It’s easy to draw comparisons when considering a team: he’s better at sticking to his budget, she comes up with the most creative ideas, he lands the biggest clients. Reviews that allow you to look at people as a group - to see them in their teams and evaluate how their individual contributions drive success for the entire team - can provide better insight into their true performance and impact on the organization.

Get the full picture

Looking at individual contribution without team context paints an incomplete picture: a person who doesn’t hit sales targets or have extensive product knowledge might actually be the facilitator who makes her whole team run smoothly. Ultimately it’s the team’s output, not the individual’s, that benefits the organization most.

Peer feedback is important

Which hurts more? Your manager telling you you’re a 2, or your team telling you you’ve let them down? Peer feedback should be included in reviews because it comes from the people you work closely with every day, not from a manager who might only see you once or twice outside of your annual performance review.

Review team dynamics, get dynamic teams

Teamwork is dynamic: brainstorming, creativity, innovation and collaboration, all of which can be greatly affected by the combination of people and personality types. Team-based reviews can help you better understand individual contribution to positive group dynamics: it’s easy to see which teams are working like a well-oiled machine, and which need a little extra support.

Reviewing teams isn’t hard

  • Use a review system to measure interpersonal and cooperative competencies as well as objectives, and compare performance within teams.

  • Create an environment where frequent feedback is encouraged, and collect peer feedback in reviews.

  • Manage teams as teams and enjoy the benefits: more open communication, closer working relationships, higher trust levels, and increased productivity

La planification et le partenariat simplifient la gestion des talents pour la marque de produits pour animaux de compagnie la plus populaire de Nouvelle-Zélande

Animates and Animates Vetcare, la marque de produits pour animaux de compagnie la plus populaire de Nouvelle-Zélande et l'entreprise leader dans ce domaine, est présente sur le marché depuis plus de 20 ans. Elle a développé ses activités et gère désormais 45 magasins, 28 salons de toilettage et près de 20 cliniques vétérinaires. Elle emploie plus de 900 personnes, dont des vétérinaires, des toiletteurs et des détaillants spécialisés à temps plein et à temps partiel. Animates continue de croître à un rythme soutenu, malgré les difficultés économiques, en aidant les propriétaires d'animaux de compagnie à faire ce qu'il y a de mieux pour leurs compagnons et leur porte-monnaie. Les ressources humaines de Animates, y compris le processus de recrutement et L&D, n'étaient pas en mesure de suivre le rythme de croissance de l'entreprise.
