TMR Feedback and Goal-Setting Deadlines

A modern TMR (Talent Management Review) system no longer works in annual evaluation cycles. Goals are reviewed almost continuously, and managers are asked for regular feedback as well. The deadlines for evaluations, feedback, and milestone check-ins are hard to keep in mind. It's also not uncommon to postpone these conversations because of our everyday priorities. Yet these conversations are extremely important. They're also an opportunity to review goals and adjust them so they better fit the company strategy and current market challenges. Failing to do so can have serious consequences. That's exactly why you need a system that sends automatic notifications whenever an evaluation meeting is due.

We know that introducing and institutionalizing a TMR system is not a simple, quick project. That's why it's especially important that colleagues get every possible support while using it.

Why is it good for the company?

  • Systematically held (re-)evaluation conversations contribute to defining company and individual goals, which is an essential condition of efficient operations.
  • Reviewing goals creates a chance to optimize them, which is extremely important — high-quality goals lead to better performance.
  • Thanks to automatic notifications, there's a smaller chance that manager feedback and evaluations get skipped or delayed because of everyday priority tasks.

Why is it good for the employee?

  • If previously agreed goals change, regular TMR conversations mean the employee finds out in time. This gives them every chance to meet the updated goals in their work.
  • Thanks to the automatically sent reminder messages, they can prepare for the evaluation meeting. It won't catch them off guard, and their stomach won't tie itself in knots when their manager invites them to a one-on-one conversation.
  • By not having to memorize meeting dates, they have enough headspace left for other important information.
  • They can look up the notification on their own phone at any time, should they need it later.
