Have you ever noticed an employee in your company interested in the quality of a task they have to do rather than just getting it done? A person who is always looking to expand their skill set and not be afraid of decision-making where necessary? Well, that could be a top performer in your organization. Generally, when dealing with top performers, it is essential to understand them in terms of their skills, interests, talents, and aspirations (SITA) to ensure that your organization is keeping these people engaged and motivated whilst giving them exciting new projects to boost their enthusiasm.
Understanding a top performer’s future aspirations could be a difficult task for many but not with Wired2Perform®. For example, if you are looking to decide what is the next step for your Senior Software Engineering performer, would you as the management immediately consider a management position that is a commonly used approach? What if he/she is a really good technical person, that is very much passionate about programming problem-solving? If you promote such a person to a manager role which is almost completely opposite to what the person is currently doing as an engineer; they will now have to work on new items like stakeholder communications, people management, and more managerial tasks rather than technical work. In reality, the ideal next step for that person would have been to place that individual into a Lead Engineer or a Software Architect role. This would involve getting more challenging programming tasks and mentoring fellow engineers that would be more ideal for their future aspirations and increase job satisfaction.
