Open the door for personal growth. Everybody wants to grow in
their career and personal aspects of their professional life,
and our company is growing, as
well. You need people to move
into important positions and
understand several aspects of
the company.
So if they’re in one department
for a while and performed well
and think they fit in another
department, and we open the
job up, we encourage people to
apply. Then we can get them
training in other aspects, and we
can bring all their experiences
from Department A into
Department B. It makes them a
better, more well-rounded
employee that they know they
have an idea of the big picture.
If you don’t show employees
the big picture, the company
won’t succeed. We established
metrics for our entire company.
Then we asked everybody how their individual jobs would contribute toward meeting those
company goals.
From that, we derived an individual set of metrics for each
employee, and then we measure
those quarterly to let them
know how they’re doing against
their own personal set of metrics. It also shows them how the
company is doing as a whole
toward meeting our collective
goals.
In the end, if your company
meets the metrics, you have a
larger pool of money from
which to draw, which can mean
more raises and bonuses. To
what degree each person meets
their personal metrics likely
determines to what extent they
will participate in the bonus
pool and raises.
