Is it that time of year right now at your company?! Are you in the middle of annual performance reviews?

Or have you already started to move toward a new competency model that focuses on day-to-day growth?

While many organizations have started moving away from annual performance reviews, it is a huge undertaking.

It often requires a shift in mindset and behavior change.

The most effective learning programs aren't actually about the knowledge.

It's about the attitude, the behavior.

In working with one of our global enterprise clients, our challenge was to get the sales staff entering their data so that the data analytics team could share key findings with senior leadership.

The issue we had to overcome was attitude, not skill.

So, we built a competitive event during which sales reps raced to get the highest scores in a series of online microgames.

The result: 100% participation πŸ”₯

Nathan Pienkowski, Ph.D., Partner & Co-Founder of BCL, joined Association for Talent Development (ATD) recently to talk about building a feedback culture and share a glimpse into Feedback Academy - A New Kind of Feedback Training. Attendees learned:

➑️ How to develop a deeper understanding of major challenges with training on feedback at scale

➑️ About a unique kind of feedback training specifically designed to overcome these challenges

➑️ Ways to bring the best parts of in-person training to digital environments

It's certainly challenging building a feedback culture, but according to Gallup, highly engaged business units result in a 23% difference in profitability.

β€œThe days of a once-a-year feedback session are gone. Today, companies need to teach their employees how, when, and where to give and receive feedback – effectively and consistently. It needs to be woven into the culture” says Garry O’Grady CEO of BCL. β€œWe’re proud of building a program that can help companies get there.”

Training Industry shared our press release on the launch of Feedback Academy.

As a learning leader, where are you relative to your 2022 goals for organizational change?

Sweeping organizational change can fatigue employees -- yet done right, can be so incredibly rewarding, on so many levels.

We helped a billion-dollar software company successfully introduce a new competency model that emphasized day-to-day growth instead of annual reviews.

This was a major shift, not just in the content of the competencies, but one that would require a shift in mindset and behavior from the entire organization in order to succeed.

Take a look at the case study where you'll see how the graphic novel-style eLearning course we created help build motivation and excitement around the new competency model >>> https://hubs.ly/Q01gz8pg0
