Even the crème de la crème of employees is not immune to a performance plateau or bottleneck. Once employees hit a wall in terms of their performance, it can be a challenging task to instil the necessary motivation to propel them to the next level. The inability to sustain optimal performance can eventually lead to a decrease in overall productivity.
- Establishing a sound performance management system can help address a performance issue in a timely and constructive manner and to mitigate the effects thereof:
- Setting clear goals and objectives can help align individual and team performance expectations with your company’s overall direction;
- Tracking and reviewing progress as well as rewarding employees accordingly can increase morale and satisfaction, thereby boosting productivity;
- Helping management monitor individual progress can enable an easier identification of performance gaps so that remedial action can be taken more quickly
- In addition, performance management systems are a vehicle for career development and setting out individual training to accelerate
knowledge, skills and to drive motivation.
Ultimately, performance management is a positive process when managers are trained effectively to appraise and coach their teams.
We can help you identify the blind spots in your performance management processes and embed performance management practices more effectively to build a high-performance culture across your teams.
