Organizations focus mostly on managing high performers, probably as a risk

mitigation measure. After all the high-performers are considered as the drivers of business and

their retention is a high priority for the organization.

This article, however, examines how to manage non-performers which may

sometimes be 10-20% of your employee strength.

Who are non-performers ?

Are non-performers those who

* Do not meet their targets?

* Do not contribute to the team effort?

* Do not have the required skills & competencies?

* Do not get along well their supervisors?

* Take no action on the tasks assigned to them?

* Spend no time on self development?

* Take no interest in the organizational activities?

* Have a poor attendance record?

* Are involved in disciplinary cases?

* Are not interested in training and mentoring others?

* Lodge maximum number of complaints and grievances?

* Have never received any rewards or recognitions?

* Have below average performance rating over the years?

* Have been repeatedly counseled to improve performance?

* Are trouble creators in the organization?

* Are generally disliked by peers & seniors?

* Avail of all types of leave & full slag times (lunch/ coffee breaks).

Perhaps most of the above aspects need to be examined before labeling an employee as ‘non performer'. This is possible only if you have composite on-line HR systems.

A few thoughts!

* You have always picked the right person for the right job.

* Your recruitment process was fair and you always searched for the best available talent.

* From your recruitment records you can verify the ratings of non-performers in the psychometric tests & their evaluation by interviewers & professionals.

* You kept the new entrants on probation for a sufficient time.

* You had a proper system for induction & on-boarding.

* You screened the probationers well before their confirmation.

* Your process speaks of no scope of the entry of low profile people in your organization.

Correct?

Then who created non-performers?
