Before you start defining the elements of a healthy performance review process, it’s worth investigating how or where your process went wrong. Historically, performance reviews were created with the best of intentions and remained unchanged for centuries. The idea that people are motivated by knowing where they stand within an organization gave birth to the “ rank and yank ” method of ranking employees into top, average, and poor performing tiers (and eliminating those at the bottom).

No longer a specialist relief pitcher called in to face a tough hitter, or a rarely used bench player padding stats in garbage time, employee recognition has become a widely recognized superstar when it comes to driving employee engagement. And with only 41% of employees recognized at their desired frequency, and 60% feeling their managers don’t recognize them in the moment , a huge opportunity exists for your business to leverage recognition to engage your employees.

A low employee turnover rate is often considered a sign of a successful business and strong management. But if it means low-performing employees are sticking around your dealership, a lack of turnover can do more harm than good – and cause your profits to take a hit. Rather than focusing on complete employee retention, your dealership should have a purposeful turnover strategy to replace employees who aren’t meeting your expectations.

The title of today’s post is a question I hear all the time. “What do our employees want?”. The first answer that comes to mind is “If you don’t know, ask them.” But I do realize that’s easier said than done. It’s hard to survey employees. Organizations could be apprehensive to ask a direct question for fear of what employees might say. The last thing anyone wants to do is ask, “What would make you happier working here?

People are central to the success of every company. But HR departments often have a hard time selling people-focused initiatives to leadership, who think more in concrete terms of profits and losses than the intangible concepts of employee satisfaction and workplace happiness. And unfortunately, many business leaders mainly associate their HR departments with hiring, firing, payroll and compliance issues — not as a source of transformational ideas that increase profitability.

Culture is a vital and unique part of every organization. It’s what makes people decide to join a team and is the biggest reason employees choose to stay or leave. It’s the key to gaining (and maintaining) a true competitive edge—one that makes work a place people want to be. But company culture can be very difficult to define. Unlike pay, perks, and promotions, culture is a rather elusive quality that stands in a class all its own.
