Managing Employees Performance

Managing Employees Performance

Performance management is an ongoing process where the manager/supervisor and employee work together to plan, monitor, and review an employee's work objectives or goals and overall contribution to the organization.
Performance management starts with a work plan that identifies for the employee what is to be accomplished and how. The plan is followed up with informal, on-going monitoring and feedback on his/her progress towards the objectives set in the plan. At the end of the performance period - usually a year - the supervisor and employee meet to summarize the accomplishments and challenges of the past year and document the discussion using a performance management form.
What is the purpose of performance management?
The purposes of performance management include
Organizational Effectiveness

Ensure that work plans of the employee are directed towards or support the strategic direction of the organization

Motivate employees to do their best

Performance Improvement

Establish clear communication between the manager and the employee about what s/he is expected to accomplish

Provide on-going, constructive feedback on performance

Identify areas of poor performance

Establish plans for improving performance, as necessary

Identification of Strengths

Identify the skills and abilities of each employee so that work assignments build on and reflect an employee's strengths

Identify individual employees for more challenging work

Training and Development

Assist and support staff in achieving their work and career goals by identifying training needs and development opportunities

Administrative Decisions

Support decision-making about promotions, terminations, compensation and rewards.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
