Year-End Review Cycles
Year-End Review Cycles
Business is good; our product is reliable, and we have many intelligent, friendly employees. Benefits are pretty good, and some groups have an outstanding culture.
-
The yearly "promotion" season forces talented individuals to leave their team for better opportunities. The individual is then backfilled at a higher pay rate (which takes about a year to onboard and get up to speed), when instead we could have compensated the current talent.
-
Giving employees a pay bump or promotion is difficult and time-consuming. This lowers manager motivation and results in fewer requests.
-
Reorganizing every few months is bad for morale. Projects stop indefinitely; nothing gets accomplished. It's also an invalid excuse for not achieving goals set three reorgs ago.
Bi-yearly compensation adjustments. Minimize reorgs to 6 months.
