"Has anyone moved away from a traditional performance appraisal type process to a more innovative feedback system that you feel has been effective?  If so, please share! "

Profile Information

Who are you?
I am passionate about learning and development; have been in this field for 6 years ... prior to L&D I had 11 years experience as a Finance Manager in various organizations. I knew long ago that finding out what makes people tick was really what got me out of bed every day, not crunching numbers, so here I am!

I think it's a priviledge to hold a job called 'Global Engagement Director' for an organization like Mars, Incorporated, well known for iconic brands (think M&Ms, Snickers bars, Mars bars, Pedigree pet food ... the list goes on), private family ownership, and relentless belief in talented associates who drive innovation and growth.

When not provoking, facilitating, or project managing on engagement at work, I live in eastern PA in the US and enjoy spending time with my husband of 7 years, and chasing around our 4-year old daughter and the latest addition, a 2nd daughter born in January 2009!
What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?
Global Engagement Director for Mars, Incorporated ... I am paid to help others recognize the value of an engaged workforce and lead with that belief in every day work!

I recently wrote more about my observations in this blog for the LinkedIn group called "The Engagement Factor," and thought it might be appropriate to share… Continue

You know what they say Jennifer, the cream rises to the top. All the best in all of your work. You have made your contribution by what you have done so far not by what you need to do or feel you should squeeze in. I love the buildings of Chicago. You can see them all because they have some good space between them.

Jennifer, your "Engagement Is..." campaign is very interesting to me. Could you tell me more both about the campaign and how Mars is using the results?

Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for the add! Sadly I missed this years presentation as I was in Belize.
Do keep in touch and let me know how I can show you more around our work in Employee Engagement.
Cheers!

I am a researcher active in this area and I used to work at Watson Wyatt as a national director of the NDC consortium of employers with shared health care datasets. I have a copy of the Watson Wyatt report - it is actually from 2007 & 2008. It is too large a file to attach - please send me a e-mail and I can send it your way.
