Employees Self-Assessment Process

The engineering or non-engineering education practices can often inadvertently lean toward promoting rigid, mechanistic thinking, following instructions rather than thinking critically. For a company to thrive, especially in a startup environment, it must break away from this mindset. It ought to offer employees a place to develop into future leaders rather than mere executors even in technical career streams.

For startups, focusing this is a challenge—balancing budget constraints, scaling and innovating. Keeping the team motivated amidst deep technical complexity, with much of the workforce composed of young talents adds up to this. Often, rookies work directly with senior professionals without a prolonged 3- to 6-month training unlike in bigger organizations. The traditional annual performance tracking processes fall short to set an efficient planning for young talents considering these factors. It tends to push employees to prepare intensively before the annual cycle commences. Sometimes creating a last-minute rush for performance reviews without genuine time to pause and reflect.

Qutrix over the years developed an alternative: Quarterly Self-Assessment Process. Far from the annual appraisal rush, this system encourages continuous improvement. Every quarter, Qutrixians spend a short-span for their #SelfAssessment, reflecting on their learning, aligning with goals and building skills that matter. This quarterly touchpoint allows mentors and mentees to connect meaningfully, track progress and set clear goals so that the team is able to see and prepare ahead.

The impact observed over the years has been profound. Young talents develop leadership qualities early, taking on responsibilities like experienced professionals. They don’t need micro-management. The continuous #EmployeeEngagement keeps the team focused, aligned, and moving forward rapidly at ease. This #LeadershipDevelopment not only boosts employees’ sense of support but also ensures that everyone is heading in the right direction, sustaining and strengthening our vision for excellence at every level.
