We all go into job decisions with the best intentions. New employees are excited and anticipate a positive experience. Hiring managers feel good about their hiring decisions and look forward to a positive relationship with the new employee. The honeymoon phase of a new job is great!
But we all know life is dynamic. Both employees' and employers' needs change. The key is updating. To make good job evaluations, the employee needs a process to dynamically update their job perspective. This evaluation needs to be completed in a way that makes decision-making fast, confidence-inspiring, and transparent. The evaluation needs to be both objective and appropriately include emotion.
The proactive job evaluation approach starts with a “premortem." The premortem approach begins by recalling the criteria for why the job or other decisions were accepted in the first place. If new to the job market, the current state is the anticipated criteria for the new job.
A strong process and decision tools help make the premortem fast, confidence-inspiring, and transparency-enabled.
