Strategic Job Map Canvas (The Balance Scorecard)
Watts & Associates’ Show Observe Interact and Grow (SOIG) organizational and performance management technology provides businesses with tools for achieving their goals at every level. Specifically, its appraisal component is especially useful in this regard; it is based on a balanced scorecard. Employees should be assessed on the terms in their respective job descriptions. This is what we call the SJMC (Strategic Job Map Canvas). With this in hand, the SOIG appraisal tool facilitates accurate performance tracking. Furthermore, it inspires collaboration among management, employees, and all stakeholders.
Historically, a common criticism of performance appraisal approaches is their lack of objectivity and accurate-on-time evaluation. Consequently, appraisers often need help to connect facts to events surrounding performance. Moreover, appraisees do not receive feedback on time.
Building Trust
At Watts & Associates, helping employees reach maximum productivity requires giving them ownership of their performance. Self-reflection and accepting constructive criticism are as important as employees disclosing their needs and concerns without fear of reprisal. Employees must be guaranteed a safe working environment where clear social interactions occur. In this vein, we support shaping a culture of respect by integrating core values (a central element of culture) with the technical work of employees.
Feedback Is a Two-Way Process
Advancing on trust building, the SOIG appraisal tool makes the future “now.” As so, every organization member participates in a continuous appraisal process. “In the Now” messaging adds relevance to appraisals when employees provide narratives to outcome metrics and other outcomes.
Working in tandem, employees are encouraged to provide feedback to management to ensure management is supplying the right support and resources for successful performance. Ultimately, our employee-centered appraisal system’s objective is continued personal and professional growth for all employees, regardless of their roles. This sets us apart from other solutions offering similar services.
SOIG Have You Covered
To explain how shaping and maintaining workplace cultures with integrity has become difficult in today’s changing business markets. High turnover, elimination of jobs, role reassignments, and disconnected leadership and management are just some of the indicators of these changes. When they occur, productivity is diminished as continuity, direction, and expectations become less clear. If you believe people are not the problem, the technical platform for evaluating employee performance needs improvement.
The first question is, “Do you have a strategic job map that aligns employee roles? If the answer is “no,” SOIG has you covered. Whenever roles change, or personnel changes occur, the organization notifies individuals of the changes. Once a job map is populated, our software informs people of the change at the right time. This occurs with little effort from your system administrator. We call this smart communication “being in the now.” To illustrate this, Dr. Watts discusses how “In the Now” messaging keeps employees engaged.
“Using a sophisticated hybrid platform, SOIG provides a way to support a ‘perpetual state of now.’ Being in the now means continuously informing through active engagement with a system-wide goal and task connectivity. Thus, SOIG builds successful partnerships by giving people access to critical information to encourage reciprocity, sharing resources during tasks, and reducing the stress caused by uncertainty and change.”
In line with Dr. Watts’ comments, we believe prioritizing people’s professional development and well-being is necessary. To this end, we will show you how to
