Performance Management

Good performance management is the key to employee motivation and organisational success.

Organisations tend to react to poor performance by changing their existing performance management systems. However, a far better response is to try to change the behaviour of individuals and the culture and management behind it.

Maximising effectiveness

Employees don't only need to be equipped with the necessary tools. They must also be encouraged to view performance management as an equal partnership between employee and manager that opens up communication channels to maximise effectiveness.

We have successfully worked with organisations to develop and facilitate the roll-out of their performance management processes - see our Case Studies.

We work with them to focus on and develop employees in:

• Understanding the total performance management process - in relation to performance and behaviours
• Differentiating between individual and organisational objectives, but understanding the linkage
• Setting objectives
• Linking competencies
• Reviewing development requirements and formulating plans to address them
• Conducting performance reviews
• Managing both poor and excellent performance
• Coaching and motivating individuals and teams
• Viewing equality and diversity as part of the business process and not an add-on

All of the above areas can be provided as part of bespoke interventions we design for you or as ‘bite-size’ sessions we can facilitate at appropriate times during the performance management cycle.
