Jay Caldwell’s hard work and innovative mind earned him two promotions in only 18 months at ADP. In that time, he supported the move to a pay-for-performance culture, which
came from his work in creating ADP’s performance management philosophy, strategy and framework. Other projects include creating a strategic workforce planning discipline; developing a change management strategy and training; a real-time feedback tool and conducting webinars.
Leaders took 
note. According to Jill Altana, ADP vice president of global talent and development, the CEO of the 55,000-person company noticed Caldwell’s contributions.
“In my entire 30-year career, I have never come across a more talented individual,” she wrote in his application. She added that his innovative thinking, thought leadership and collaboration skills make this 34-year-old a true game changer.

What game change…Pay for performance was a 90’s practice that was largely responsible for creating a me attitude and not team.Surprised it is being introduced in this time when more and more companies(Microsoft) are moving away from such goal setting. In this day and age it is becoming accepted that such activities including annual reviews are the most detrimental to employee morales. Constant touch points and engagement are far more productive than the old carrot and stick..However great to see the real time tool being used , does it count towards the employee pay and performance?
