This document provides an overview of an employee success cycle framework designed to align employees, foster development and performance, and cultivate a culture of leadership. The framework includes hiring and onboarding employees, setting six-month goals, conducting regular performance conversations and reviews, facilitating self-development through training opportunities, and ultimately measuring performance and rewarding employees. Time investment for employees is estimated at 3.5% of work hours annually for activities like goals setting, self-reflection, development, and reviews. The cycle is meant to drive alignment, provide feedback for leadership growth, and is decoupled from compensation decisions, which occur annually and separately.
