11 Case study:
In early 2012, Donna Morris, senior vice president of global people resources at Adobe, was
feeling frustrated. The company?s annual review process, facilitated by her team, wasn?t delivering
on its goals. If performance reviews were supposed to provide employees with valuable feedback,
why did voluntary attrition always spike in the months after review time? If reviews were supposed
to help managers mold a more effective team, why were they distracting managers from their
most meaningful work for weeks at a time? ?As a company, we were continuing to evolve from
box software that takes 12 to 18 months to release to cloud-based software, real-time services,
and cutting-edge digital marketing?. Donna says. ?But on the people resources side, a lot of our
core processes had stayed the same. We just weren?t seeing positive results from the way we
had been addressing performance?.

In most corporations, managers must divide employees into groups ? for example, maybe
15 percent of people can be assigned the highest rating. Those ratings then determine salary
increases. Employees are also typically ranked meaning that every interaction with a teammate
could be viewed as a competition rather than collaboration. After months of brainstorming and
soliciting feedback from employees, Donna and her team landed on a solution ? check-ins. Adobe?s
new check-in culture revolves around clear expectations, frequent feedback ? both positive and
constructive ? and no ratings or rankings. Voluntary attrition has decreased substantially,
suggesting that employees who are performing at the top of their game feels valued and employees
who have room to improve feel supported and encouraged. Managers can make their own
decisions about salary increases and are trained on the most effective ways to make those
decisions.
Questions:
(a) How you value the mentoring and monitoring will help the employees in their performance?
(b) What kind of training to be provided for employees in attaining the company?s objectives and goals?
