Performance Development Portfolios
Our flagship product, the Performance Development Portfolio (PDP) is a comprehensive talent management system that is fully compatible with any existing performance appraisal process and is completely customizable to your specific situation. The PDP is a complete system that integrates job descriptions, job expectations, performance appraisals, skills needs review, training planning and career path development.
The PDP is a two portfolio system; one for the manager with all of the relevant documents and records, and one for the employee’s personal use. By putting the PDP into the hands of the employee, they are now provided ownership of the process that is often held behind lock and key in HR or the manager’s desk. The result…an employee who is not only engaged in their job and performance, but one whose personal goals are now tied into the company goals.
Supporting Consulting Services
Job Descriptions
The first critical step in effective performance management is the presence of accurate and current job descriptions. Job descriptions provide the employee an outline of their performance expectations and give you the baseline from which to evaluate employee performance. Job descriptions also provide the necessary documentation when it comes to the ADA, FMLA or other legal requirements.Don’t have the time to create or update your job descriptions? We can create them or audit your existing descriptions, interview key stakeholders and work with you to produce refreshed and actionable job descriptions.
Performance Appraisals
Many times the performance appraisal is another dreaded deadline from HR that must be endured by both the employee and manager. However, when done correctly, appraisals can help managers connect with employees, engage them to deliver their best effort, and increase the productivity of your workforce. TDI will evaluate your current appraisal process and help you move your review process to a fully integrated system that focuses on coaching, feedback and success.Skills Needs Analysis
Workforce skill sets must address current and future needs of the company. We can help you benchmark the current skills of the employees, evaluate what is required now and in the future to reach the company goals, and conduct a Gap Analysis – what do you have and what is missing. From this analysis we will work with you to develop a plan to ensure you have the right employees with the right skills to reach your company goals.
Training Plans
Once the Skills Gap Analysis is complete, TDI can develop a training plan that is geared specifically to ensure that you are getting the most out of your investment in your employees. A well defined plan is critical to closing the current and future Skills Gap within your company.Career Path Development
Whether you have 20 employees or 200, most employees want to know what their future holds no matter what they do for you. Individualized career paths are essential for your key employees and general career paths provide a solid roadmap for the other employees in your organization. We can assist you in developing either specific or general career pathways for your employees. You will be surprised at the direction a fulfilling career path can lead some employees. (Hint – it is not always straight up.)
