Empowering employees at 360 Co.
It was a Tuesday morning at 360 Co., a small but dynamic software company with 120 employees. The leadership team, led by CEO Cyril had recently implemented a new performance management strategy to better support the company's ambitious goals.
Cyril kicked off the quarterly all-hands meeting by highlighting the organization's key priorities for the next 3 months. "As we continue to expand our product offerings and customer base, it's critical that each and every one of you is aligned, engaged, and performing at your best," she emphasized.
Cyril then introduced the new performance management approach, which focused on frequent feedback, personalized development, and a culture of recognition. "Gone are the days of the annual performance review. We want to empower our managers to have regular, meaningful conversations with their teams about their goals, strengths, and growth areas."The HR team had worked closely with department heads to define clear, measurable objectives that laddered up to the company's strategic objectives. Managers were equipped with coaching techniques and provided access to performance management software to streamline the process.
