In today's competitive business environment, your employees represent one of your organization’s most valuable assets. Which means your company's productivity-and ultimately, its profitability-depend on making sure every person in your organization is working up to his or her full potential.
Performance management begins with the end in mind - a company's operating objectives, developed by the CEO (or business owner) and his/her senior management team. The next challenge is ensuring that individual employee behavior and actions will turn activities into results. The final challenge then becomes sharing the goals and plans in a relevant and actionable way with all the employees – the people who actually will do the work.
Despite its critical role in growing an organization effectively, performance management in many companies consists primarily of annual appraisals. These once-a-year reviews provide a reflective snapshot of how an employee has performed over the previous year as well as suggestions for what they need to achieve in the next year. This strategy is like planning where you are headed by studying what you see in the rear view mirror.
With effective performance management in place, individual goal achievement feeds organizational momentum. Without it, employees and management face off in the unenviable job of explaining how and why each of them ended up where they did, neither of them in the place they intended.
