3 MANAGING PERFORMANCE 03 Introduction People work at their best and are motivated to perform when they clearly understand how their role supports the business and how their individual performance impacts on their financial rewards and career progression. Performance management is a business process that helps you do this by connecting your targets, objectives and business results to individual performance. Managing Old Mutual is the new online performance management system designed to provide you with simpler, more consistent tools and processes to undertake the above tasks. This involves measuring both the what and the how so that we connect our strategy and vision to our behaviour. Managing Old Mutual does both of the above, using a consistent, streamlined process with a single rating scale across the Old Mutual Group. The system uses a work-flow process, which will prompt you to complete your necessary tasks. You will receive these prompts/alerts via . You will be invited to use the system for the first time via a Getting Started from: Managing@performance.omg.co.uk For more information and help using the system, please contact your HR Business Partner.

4 MANAGING PERFORMANCE 04 Overview of process The system enables you to complete the four key steps in the annual performance management process online. The benefit is that the process will be more streamlined enabling you to keep better track of your performance in one place. But ultimately it is still just a system, and it has its limitations. What it can never replace is the regular, two-way, face-to-face conversations that you should be having with your manager throughout the performance year. Establishing Scorecards This is when you and your manager agree your scorecard for the coming year. This step helps you understand your role in meeting team goals in line with the strategic direction and challenges of the organisation and your business unit. Scorecards should focus on the critical few priorities for the year, and be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound (SMART). 1 Establish scorecards Mid-Year Review and Development Plans The Mid-Year Review is an opportunity to review your progress against current objectives and create a personal development plan for the next 12 months. 2 Mid-Year reviews & development plans ACT NOW! Multi-Rater The ACT NOW! Multi-Rater assessment is a questionnaire that you invite other people to complete to evaluate how well you demonstrate the ACT NOW! Behaviours. The process begins with you choosing a list of people to assess you. Your manager approves this list. You will also complete a self assessment. This feedback will be taken into account by your manager when they complete a final assessment of your performance at the Year-End Review. 3 ACT NOW! Multi-Rater Year-End Reviews The Year-End Review performance discussion is an opportunity for you and your manager to review overall performance and behaviours for the year. Your final rating is used to calculate any potential performance incentives or bonuses and for reference in other talent processes. The final rating may be modified by the ACT NOW! Multi-Rater and calibration. 4 Year-End reviews
