On this page there is an activity. You will hear 7 statements with a brief pause after each. listen to each statement and decide which positively affect your performance most. You could decide: yes or no, in your head during the pause. Let's start! Statement 1: I know that what I do matters and is connected to the company strategy. Answer: Yes, this gives meaning to our work. Without knowing how our work connects to the company strategy, we risk wasting time and energy on things that don't advance the company. Statement 2: Being given a rating out of five to compare myself with my peers. Answer: It's subjective, and a number doesn't give helpful information. There are better ways to measure your performance. Statement 3: I wait until the end of the year to receive feedback on how I am performing. Answer: That's too late! We can't do much about feedback on how we behaved months ago. Feedback at the right moment is more valuable. Statement 4: I have the freedom to set myself the right goals, which help solve the challenges of Siemens Energy, and feel responsible for achieving those goals. Answer: Without freedom, we can feel constrained. By having freedom with support, you are more likely to tap into your potential and feel empowered. Statement 5: I have a once-a-year performance review. Answer: It's not enough. To perform at your best you need to know how you are doing throughout the year, not just at the end of it. Statement 6: I am connected to my manager and get the support I need to reach my goals and grow. Answer: Gives you support on tap and helps you stay on course. Without this you might develop blind spots and be unaware of energy leaks. Statement 7: I can see and review progress on my goals and use that insight to grow and develop here at Siemens Energy. Answer: Gives you a motivating sense of progress. Without this you could become stagnant. How did you do? To summarize, statements 1, 4, 6 and 7 are correct.
