Performance Management
Performance management is the measurement of activities by an employee, department or entire organization to ensure that a company's goals are being met in an effective and efficient manner to ensure business success.
An effective performance management system allows you to engage your employees by establishing a true pay-for-performance culture. By communicating and aligning company goals to employees while setting achievable performance expectations, the company's compensation system is linked to actual individual and / or team performance.
Although many different types of performance management programs exist, most can be generalized into the following cycle:
- Goals and objectives are defined and communicated to the employee
- Management provides ongoing observation and coaches individuals on performance regarding the achievement of goals
- Appraisal where individual performance is formally documented, feedback delivered and appropriately compensated. If performance meets or exceeds the desired performance standard, a reward is given. If performance does not meet the desired performance standards, a performance development plan is created to address the performance gap
- Repeat the cycle
Improving morale, creating loyalty and increasing overall productivity in your employees through performance management is the key to your company outperforming the competition.
