The results are in! A whopping 70% of respondents prefer to have AT LEAST two formal performance review conversations throughout the year, with a majority preferring a semi-annual cycle. If your company is still operating under the more traditional “one per year” setup, it might be time to make some changes! While some might argue that more is better, you don’t want to overcorrect and risk turning off the 30% of employees who like the current setup. Therefore, consider implementing a hybrid approach where formal reviews occur semi-annually, supplemented by informal check-ins quarterly. This increase in communication should result in a higher rate of goal attainment and overall motivation, which in turn will improve employee satisfaction (and retention) across your team. #poll #growth #careergrowth #review #performancereview #reviews #goals #careergoals #yearendgoals

The results are in! A significant portion (44%) of respondents feel they are behind their professional goals. This highlights a common challenge in goal attainment, potentially due to unrealistic goal-setting, external obstacles, or inadequate resources and support. In contrast, 42% of respondents feel they are either ahead of schedule (9%) or right on pace (33%). This indicates that a substantial minority is effectively managing their goals, suggesting successful strategies, good time management, and efficient resource utilization. The fact that the largest segment feels behind suggests an opportunity for interventions like training on goal-setting, time management, and resource allocation. Organizations might consider workshops or mentorship programs to support employees in meeting their professional objectives. #poll #growth #careergrowth #motivation #goals #careergoals #yearendgoals

The results are in! It’s likely not going to surprise you that the highest percentage of respondents most associate growth with compensation. What should be much more eye-opening is how close that response was to the second place answer, “More Influence with Decisions”. This is refreshing news for managers and executives at companies that can’t always compete on compensation alone. In those environments, it can be just as impactful on retention to get key employees involved in the decision-making process. Bring them into meetings, encourage their input and show them that you value their contributions and envision them playing a bigger role in the company going forward. While it’s certainly important to stay competitive with market compensation, these survey results demonstrate that there are several other factors that can have a significant influence on your top employees without breaking the bank. #poll #salary #payraise #growth #careergrowth #motivation #motivatiors

The results are in! The majority of respondents (73%) are willing to accept some level of salary difference, as long as that discrepancy doesn’t exceed 5%. Employers should note that a significant portion of their workforce pays attention to salary differences and expects fair and transparent pay practices. Addressing salary concerns proactively and ensuring a clear rationale behind pay differences can help in maintaining employee satisfaction and trust. When it comes to pay, always assume that your team is talking to each other. Get ahead of any issues by controlling the narrative, especially when the salary gap between two same-level employees is more than 5%. #poll #salary #salaryrange #payrate #transparency #equality
