Webinar Replay: Walking the Garden – Shift from Managing to Facilitating Growth

Watch a replay of the first webinar in Humaculture, Inc.’s “People Development: A Humaculture® Perspective Series”, which focuses on how to “Walk the Garden” to build employee relationships, enhance culture, and improve productivity. We discuss transforming your performance management process into one that focuses on facilitating growth and productivity.

Presenters

• Steve Cyboran, ASA, MAAA, FCA, CEBS, actuary and strategy consultant
• Wes Rogers, Humaculturist® and strategy consultant
• Christi Green, RN, MS, PHR, strategy and people consultant

Objective

This webinar explores ways organizations can shift traditional performance management from the dreaded once-a-year process that is focused on past performance into an on-going discussion. “Walking the Garden” builds strong relationships, keeps people aligned with the culture, helps identify issues early that may inhibit productivity, facilitates growth, prepares your next generation of leaders, and identifies opportunities for transition. This requires proper job design to ensure employees are “planted in fertile soil.”

Key Takeaways

During this session, participants will explore:

• The pitfalls of trying to “manage performance”
• Why traditional “performance management” is a dreaded process, often detrimental to employee relationships, culture, and productivity
• How manager job design and span of control may limit effectiveness
• How effective people development will:
  • Shift from “managing performance” to facilitating growth
  • Help managers and leaders learn to “walk the garden”
  • Lead to better alignment between employees’ personal/professional goals and the organization’s strategic priorities

People Development: A Humaculture® Perspective Series

Please join us on the third Thursday of the month over the next six months for our upcoming People Development series. This series will focus on how to shape talent for success by “pruning the vines” as necessary. We will cover people development from the Humaculture^® perspective.

In this webinar series, we explore ways organizations can rethink the traditional performance management and people development processes to make them more meaningful, impactful, and aligned with the organizational vision and strategy – focusing employees and leaders on what is truly important.

Successful horticulturists recognize the overwhelmingly positive impact of pruning. Pruning is the process of removing branches that:

• Are not supporting the desired shape of the plant the horticulturist seeks,
• Take energy from the plant without maximizing productivity,
• Shade or otherwise interfere with the productivity of the other branches.

Effective pruning allows the plant to focus its energies in the most effective and productive areas. People, like plants, often expend energy and time in areas that distract them from achieving their highest and greatest purpose and contributions. In any organization, it is important to help employees remove or overcome the impediments that hold them back, and focus on the areas and interests that will really help them achieve their goals, as well as the strategic priorities of the organization. This series highlights several ways organizations can be innovative and more effective than traditional “performance management.”

The topics for the upcoming series will include:
