case study

overview

CEO named Jack Welch

Jeff Immelt

advocated an annual job performance review process that drew sharp distinctions between effective and ineffective employees

approach to managing the performance of his employees led GE to great success during his tenure

focused on goals related to costs, efficiency and operational excellence

employees need to take risks and test new ideas, and incorporate learning from errors into deliverables

rather than rating employees each year on a scale that results in labels such as "role model", "strong contributor", or "unsatisfactory", the company has adopted a smartphone app called PD@GE, which facilitates ongoing performance feedback throughout the year

recognized that a new set of employee behaviors was necessary

has freed GE from many of the rigid practices Welch had implemented, including the "rank and drop" performance review system

allow employees to post their own performance questions so other employees can give feedback on changes in the company

increase annual creativity for employees

allow employees to be creative and develop themselves

everyone in the company does not work towards a common goal

Expensive, time-consuming, and really inefficient to measure employee performance

make the business messy and no one works according to a particular rule

solve the problem

to reduce potential anxieties Jeff Immelt can add a performance review feature to the PD@GE app

Immelt organizes many discussions for managers about new products. Managers will motivate and motivate their employees to develope more new products
