Need a way to manage employee performance? Performance management is on my mind this week. An effective performance management system, implemented with the appropriate spirit and process, can help you develop the talents of every employee.
A performance management system provides clear direction, sets goals for accomplishment, and increases the ability of each employee to contribute to your organization's success.
Performance appraisal, as a stand-alone system, doesn't work to help you accomplish your most important goals; performance management does.
Despite millions of dollars spent on consultants, training, and books, few organizations get performance management right. Managers say it's too time consuming. My regular response? Who doesn't have a couple of hours a year to spend with a reporting employee? Others say,performance management hurts employee relationships. Not when you implement performance management as I recommend.
What the questions and excuses all boil down to for me, is that you and your organization are sincerely interested in developing both employees and how you accomplish work, or you're not. You want employees who clearly understand the company direction and are achieving goals within your success framework, or you don't.
And, lip service, which I often see and hear, doesn't crack it at all on this topic with me. How's that for feisty Thursday? Why do you think organizations have so much trouble with performance management?
