Editor's Notes

  1. This is report form of monthly head count and attrition rate. This gives us overview of head count and attrition rate
  2. As part of the Talent Management strategy we talk about manager enablement and emphasizing accountability, coaching and feedback. Many of you have experienced ongoing coaching and feedback practices through the “Culture Unfreezing” and “In Use” workshops and we are now advocating continuous coaching and feedback as it relates to performance management to help reaffirm expectations, goal clarity and alignment, and development. We will also be providing more guidance around differentiation, specifically on how to manage employees who are not meeting expectations or have unsatisfactory performance. In addition, the ability to create greater flexibility in managing goals throughout the year will be a focus for us as well. And we heard YOUR feedback regarding the Workday tool! We have made modifications to the system making it simpler, easier and more agile as you and your teams progress throughout 2016.
  3. A manager plays a critical role in sharing with employees what the organizational direction and goals are for the year. As we kick-off with the goal setting process, we want to emphasize the importance of making goals clear, meaningful and challenging, while aligning to them business priorities, our Blue Chips. Managers who collaborate with employees to continuously clarify goals and expectations throughout the year, adjusting them to stay aligned to changing business requirements, promote greater employee engagement and significantly improve organizational performance. There are five tips to ensuring goals are tied to ITT’s Blue Chips. Each of these tips are explained in detail in the Guide so I will highlight each one now. (You may want to hand out a copy of the guide if your meeting is face to face, or refer managers to page #2, to follow along in the Guide). Link up to organization’s priorities Make clear connections between their goals and performance and the business purpose and strategy Clearly communicate expectations, goals and accountability Ensure employees understand what is expected of them Make goals challenging Identify goals that capture the largest, most important deliverables based on the business needs. Focus on the “Blue Chip” Mindset to strengthen employee engagement Share the organizational updates and how the employee’s work contributes to enterprise success Review goals frequently and modify as needed Use this “check-ins” to continuous promote goal clarity and alignment Let’s discuss coaching and feedback and how the two relate to each other.
