Physician Goal Setting [Business V. Personal Approach] in 2024

CORPORATE APPROACH

The year-end physician, nurse and/or medical employee reviews in general aren’t very effective at motivating employees in ACOs, and VBC organizations, etc.

And, according to a Gallup [non-medical worker] poll, only 14% of employees “strongly agreed” that a performance review inspired them to improve. But in recent years, some workplaces have changed how they conduct performance reviews—or abandoned them altogether especially in technology.

• A decade ago, Microsoft disbanded its version of stack ranking, the practice pioneered by General Electric CEO Jack Welch in the 1980s in which the company would rank every employee. Experts say it hurts morale and can create a toxic work culture.
• Netflix has around 10,000 employees but has eschewed the year-end review for informal conversations during the year.
• Google revamped its system last May by reducing performance reviews from twice to once a year.
• Apple dropped performance reviews completely.

Healthcare business and corporate employees want feedback, even physicians, but it has to be useful.

PERSONAL APPROACH

Now that you’ve set your personal goals on your landmark date (New Year 2024), how you pursue it will go a long way toward whether you achieve it. There are generally two ways to tackle the goals you’ve set for yourself—and one yields more success than the other.

• Avoidance goals: While this works well when it comes to your ex-medical partner or spouse, it’s not how you want to attack resolutions. Avoidance goals include “stop eating sweets” or “watch less TV.”
• Approach goals: Instead of avoiding a behavior, you create a new one. Your goals would be “eating more vegetables” or “reading more books” to replace the habits you want to shake.

And, a recent study found that approach goals are more likely to be accomplished (59%) than avoidance goals (47%) across a wide range of potential resolutions. Good luck with that!
