Their mentoring culture and giving feedback to employees plays a crucial role here. For those reasons, Hatch has implemented 2 new processes to enable their employees keep learning and rowing their careers: Work Assignment Feedback Form- WAFF Career Management Discussions- CMD Hatch believed that these new efforts would help employees get feedback on their work and help managers understand better how their employees are doing. However, the ideas of mentoring in a very fluid and dynamic way, without a solution to support that, was impossible and not scalable. SAP’s PMGM, the solution Hatch was using before Nurture, wasn’t a good fit for a few reasons: PMGM didn’t enable fluid way of getting and receiving feedback Lack of unsolicited peer-to-peer feedback Employees couldn’t request feedback Managers couldn’t ask for feedback about their employees PMGM was not user-friendly causing low participation rates of less than 17% in a period of 12 months Watch an interview about Hatch Best practices and learning about implementing feedback solution The Solution Being aware of the Performance Management solution limitations, Hatch decided to look for a different provider.
