Coaching and Development for  Front-Line Associates

The Challenge

Prior to partnering with WorkDove, Brady used a mixture of disparate systems and paper for tracking performance. A lack of formal documentation and consistency posed an issue- some Managers conducted 90-day reviews for new hires along with annual reviews while others did not. No formal leadership succession planning was in place and 360-degree feedback was outsourced and therefore, expensive. Their HRIS ultimately did not meet their performance and talent management needs.

As the majority of their workforce is comprised of front-line technicians, Brady had the desire to create individual development plans (IDPs) so technicians could clearly see their path forward and realize their potential. Managers needed a streamlined way to view the performance of their direct reports, as well as their downline, and a system that allowed for intentional coaching conversations and an overall increase in insight and accountability.

 

 

Key Takeaways

  • 9-Box leadership succession planning has shifted from a paper process to digital and is used in tandem with performance reviews and creating informed individual development plans.
  • Roughly 40 hours of tracking spreadsheets and scanning performance reviews have now been reduced to 2-3 hours thanks to the ability to create templates and mass assign them out.
  • The performance and talent management return on investment for Brady far exceeds the cost of using the WorkDove platform.
