A new performance management system is taking employee productivity to new heights. The regenerative system involves continuous communication and better alignment between management and employees. \n\n"Performance management system calibrates around rewards and bonuses,\u201d says Chris Mason, Head of Talent Management/Learning and Development, Compensation, & Workforce Analytics at Patagonia. \u201cFrom the beginning of the year, it drives an agile mindset.\u201d \n\nQuarterly meetings with employees allows for input, thoughts and guidance. Managers can better reflect on the employee\u2019s ability to accomplish goals and how much they\u2019ve contributed. The need for a performance management review schedule still stands, Mason says, because it\u2019s meaningful for a business schedule and flows into individual contribution during the year. \u201cShort term goals and continuous feedback are needed, too,\u201d he says.\n\nListen to this podcast to learn more about evolving a performance management structure and how to make changes work. \nChris Mason\u2019s \u2018Compensation Innovation in a Ratingless World\u2019 keynote presentation is scheduled for the 2017 Performance Management Innovation conference in Chicago.\n\nTo learn more about the 2017 Performance Management Innovation Conference please visit: http://www.hci.org/pmi-conference/2017
