OD Toolkit Series - Equitable Evaluations in Hybrid Work Environments

OD Toolkit Series - Equitable Evaluations in a Hybrid Work Environment

Anh Vo

This training will be conducted live via Zoom.

As more companies move to a hybrid work model, it is challenging the traditional annual performance evaluation process. Hybrid work creates a potential disconnect between managers and remote employees, because a manager cannot see all the day-to-day work that remote employees do. There can be multiple conscious and unconscious biases that can impact the evaluations, such as proximity bias, unknowingly favoring in-office employees in evaluations simply because they are more visible. This may cause some remote employees to be at a disadvantage in the annual evaluation process. 

Implementing truly equitable evaluations requires intentional planning, where both managers and employees identify critical behaviors that impact business outcomes and include feedback from multiple data sources within the workstream. 

Equitable evaluations focus on outcomes, increase visibility, link behavior to results, and enable all levels to participate in the feedback cycle. Equitable evaluations focus on what work is done, rather than where it is done. This promotes equity between remote employees and in-office employees. Enabling input from all levels in the evaluation process reduces bias, produces more equitable evaluations data, builds trust, increases engagement, which improves retention. 

In this session we will share:

• The robust business case for equitable evaluation 
• How to remove bias in performance evaluations
• The framework for providing equitable evaluations that can work for all teams styles: hybrid, global, and nested
• Critical steps for implementing equitable evaluations
