Google Simplifies Performance Reviews & Promotion Process

-

 

Google

Google is developing a new evaluation method dubbed Google Reviews and Development, or GRAD, that is easier and more systematic.

Now onwards, performance reviews will be held only once every year and will be more simplified under this approach. Overall, this will result in better and greater wages.

Google Reviews and Development (GRAD)

Employees can still seek advancement twice with the latest Google Reviews and Development (GRAD) process, which limits reviews to once a year.

Employees and managers put in a lot of effort in the previous process, which included exams, self-assessments, and even 360-degree feedback from coworkers.

 What's Going To Change?

Managers will now be responsible for reviewing performance and awarding promotions, rather than peers, however employees can apply for promotions two times per year.

 Simply put, while Employees may get feedback from their supervisors or managers all year round and may even talk about how their career will improve or expand, they will only be evaluated once a year on their performance.

 The redesigned promotion procedure would require managers/bosses to complete an assessment form declaring whether the workforce possess the necessary skills to be promoted.

 The Latest Review Scale

Google employees will be graded on a new scale that includes five levels of impact. That means employees will be rated on the basis of their contribution. The 5 Impact levels will be following:

1)    Not Enough Impact

2)    Moderate Impact

3)    Significant Impact

4)    Outstanding Impact

5)    Transformative Impact

 Simplified Performance Evaluation

Staff members will no longer be required to complete lengthy paperwork that include reviews from bosses and coworkers.

Employees at Google felt that the previous system for performance evaluation took up too much of their time.

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
