Philosophy Statements
You may want to discuss these with your team but here's a starting set:
Fair and transparent feedback: We run calibration processes to ensure we are evaluating employees in a fair and balanced way across the organization, and we are committed to having the results and feedback of the calibration be communicated back to employees in a respectful and actionable way.
No quotas: While we calibrate employees against others to ensure fair evaluation, we do not maintain any quotes (e.g. X% of the team must be marked as
Does not meet expectations
, etc)
Equal time for our stars as our under performers: Many calibration processes overweight time spent on either the over performers or the under performers. We aim to be balanced across the employee base.
