🚀 3 Ways Fossil Changed Up Their Performance Management System
First up, let’s take a look at how Fossil Group, a global fashion retailer, transformed their traditional performance reviews into a dynamic and employee-driven system.
📅 Introducing "Performance Days"
To make performance a priority, Fossil Group established Performance Days—dedicated days where no operational meetings or tasks were allowed. Managers and teams focused solely on performance discussions and goal-setting. 🎯
This strategy ensured that performance management was not pushed to the sidelines, but rather, was given the full attention it deserves.
🎯 Daily Recognition
Fossil Group introduced peer-to-peer recognition programs, with managers and employees actively celebrating each other’s achievements. This resulted in over 140 recognition stories shared weekly! 🎉

💬 Improving Conversations with Goal Templates
Whether you’re a manager or an employee, talking about performance can be challenging. The discomfort around giving or receiving feedback often leads to surface-level conversations or missed opportunities for growth.
To reduce the stress and make these conversations more meaningful, they introduced goal conversation templates. These templates provided a roadmap for managers and employees, ensuring that every one-on-one discussion was productive and focused on creating clear, aligned, and motivating goals.
The impact? With these structured templates, both managers and employees could engage in deeper, more transparent conversations, leading to better goal alignment and a more engaged workforce.
