Semi-Annual Reviews

A telling article by the Wall Street Journal entitled, “Work Reviews Losing Steam,” describes how it is necessary to find new ways of motivating employees to do good work: “Some experts say scrapped performance reviews must be replaced with some form of feedback.” We have a feedback solution that specifically focuses on motivating employees to do good work. The key is for the employee to learn from the past and ensure he or she is motivated to handle current and future tasks with excellence.

Our approach to enhancing your current reviews is based on ensuring people are motivated to do good work – that’s our definition of engagement – people motivated to do good work. If that definition works for you, then you need to see a demonstration of our simple process consisting of two straight-forward forms that can transform your semi-annual reviews into a valuable experience supporting employee motivation and organizational health and growth.

Within minutes you will discover the solutions to these ten key motivation questions using our semi-annual reviews approach:

Answering the what...

Answering the why...

Answering the how...

Answering the when...

Answering the how much...

Why does this only take minutes? It’s because when using a Single Motivation Metric (SMM), an objective metric, discussions based on opinions are avoided, saving time. If you want to know the length of your table, you can spend 15 minutes discussing opinions, or a second to measure it and know. We’re a metric-based company and our measurements get to core issues and answer key questions with metric precision, avoiding unnecessary discussions and miscommunication issues.

Make your reviews focus on using the past to determine how to better motivate people to do good work. We support you in doing it objectively, simply and with profound outcomes. For more details on how this approach works, view our video describing the Single Motivation Metric Management System.

Risk Mitigation   SOUL Methodology provides techniques that use a dashboard-ready, single metric approach that allow you to identify and solve the most challenging problems using team knowledge, focus and even brilliance, creating solutions that achieve the seemingly impossible. The solutions you discover using our methodology always contain three important attributes, metrically/objectively validated, supporting people assigned to use or implement the solution. (1) Are they set-up to succeed/meet expectations? (2) Can they handle the majority of unexpected issues? (3) Can they support each other as peer leaders when times get challenging? This single metric-based approach, delivered through training, customized service or turn-key software, can be used at all levels to catalyze your organization's and your own success. This single metric can be easily added to your dashboard or various other applications.

Motivation Management   Our Motivation Management System ensures that your workforce is fully engaged, and your business’s financial health and growth are secured. It is based on a Single Motivation Metric (SMM) and can be easily added to your dashboard or various other applications. When using SMM, engagement is defined as "motivation to do good work." With our metrics and methodology, we can help you to accurately measure engagement and increase it throughout your organization. Engaging employees (motivating them) to excel is no longer a "nice to have" when being competitive, so how are you staying competitive? Using the SMM  methodology ensures that workforce motivation is part of the solution, not the problem.   To implement the SMM Management System within your organization takes about 15 minutes. It doesn’t require any additional IT infrastructure, uses your existing desktop software and enhances the relationship between management and the workforce.   For more information, please call our customer representatives at (310) 476-6899.

Secret Sauce is in Using Employees' Uniqueness

Catalyst Technologies (CT) offers SOUL (Solutions Offering Unique Learning), simple algorithms supported by metrics and software that address three leadership facts. Fact 1 is that alls employees are unique in terms of their experience, skills and motivational needs when doing their job. This fact provides direction in assigning tasks. Fact 2 is that each employee is in a constant state of learning and growth, whether aware or unaware, based on daily job experiences. This focuses on learning while completing the task. The next and final fact is vital to YOU making money. Fact 3 is that management supervision must maintain the alignment of each employee’s uniqueness, based on Fact 1 (being assigned a task) and Fact 2 (completing a task), to ensure that the customer is consistently satisfied, even when requirements, time or money change. It is neither more complex than nor as simple as 1, 2 and 3.

Our turn-key software approach is described below:

When a manager does not provide direction or follow-through based on SOUL facts 1, 2 and 3, there is a potential to lose money for the organization. Good leaders must be aware of their teams' unique experience, skills and motivation, and continual learning (on-the-job or other) necessary to maintain alignment with satisfying the customer's needs. As a leader maintains this alignment, the company’s potential for making more and more money increases. If a leader neglects this responsibility, the organization becomes at risk becoming unhealthy. Historically, as the size of the workforce grows, the ability to maintain alignment associated with each employee’s unique experience, skills and motivation becomes overwhelming difficult to impossible, especially with increased productivity and administration requirements. CT’s response, 25 years ago, was to create software and metrics that support a leader’s SOUL. Let us show you the results.

Increasingly mid-level managers are required to manage and handle more, and it’s only getting worse with the current competitive demands.  As the company grows, executives are becoming further removed from the implementation workforce.  CT views these automated SOUL components as leadership software and metrics.
