What
did we do for them?
The Group needed a more
consistent approach to managing performance across a broad range of cultures
and countries.We subsequently worked
with the Global HR Function and Board to implement a pragmatic performance
management process; the key elements were:
Balanced ‘scorecard’ style personal targets.
Behavioural standards linked to the Groups principles
and values.
A web based 360° feedback system.
Tailored development reports.
Independent coaching and review for each
manager.
What
was the impact?
Our work provided
Lenzing with a number of benefits including:
A more consistent approach to performance
management across a range of different countries and cultures.
A catalyst for change and performance
improvement amongst the Board and Senior Business Leaders.
Clearer focus and direction for Business leaders
and key managers.
A mechanism for early identification of talent
globally.
