Building the High Performance Organization


While 94% of organizations report they measure employee performance with annual reviews, few are satisfied with the tools, according to Aberdeen Group's study of 600 HR executives.

"There is clearly a disconnect between the concept of employee management and a successful execution," concluded the report.

The study highlights the qualities of a Best in Class Performance Organization. To qualify, each company had to increase growth 10% or more over the prior 12 months, AND maintain or increase employee retention rates over the same period.

How can you become a Best in Class organization?

Best in Class organizations use the following strategic actions at a higher rate than industry norms:

>> Align individual performance to overall corporate business objectives (73%)

>> Identify & convey performance goals clearly & concisely (50%)

>> Create growth paths & opportunities to develop valuable contributors (28%)

>> Tie compensation to performance goals (36%)

>> Standardize performance metrics comparable company-wide (9%)

Green Eggs & SPAM




The U.S. is still the top spam monger among Internet savvy countries. Almost 20% of spam is forwarded or directed to US e-mail boxes. But, the trend is globalizing. Global e-mail boxes are seeing 9% more spam than last year. And, the UK is the top originating country of global spam. When looking at spam by continent, Asia leads the pack with 35% originating from that region.
