Reference #59: An Elegant Puzzle
Most performance management systems comprise three elements: careen ladders, performance designations, and performance cycles.
Career ladders describe the expected role evolution of an individual.
Performance designations rate an individual over a certain period against the expectation of their ladder and level.
Performance cycles, which occur quarterly, twice yearly, or annually, assist in making consistent performance designations.
