Getting Ready for Direction Setting for 2018
We all have a role to play in transforming our business and having clear, informed goals and a development plan for the year ahead will help contribute to our success. We will start the 2018 Performance Management cycle for ground staff employees from Tuesday 9 January (The Region and Outports).
The Direction Setting should be completed by Friday 16 February 2018. During this six-week period, employees should meet with their direct appraisers to discuss expectations (including goals and competencies), career aspirations and development plans for 2018 and record these in the Performance Platform.
The last time I saw a similar approach to this was in 1975.
A friend of mine was working for a company, that used this 43 years ago, and duly gave all of the information, as requested, that ended up in being terminated as "No longer required"
Be very careful ground staff.
