Performance management
Why for employees

This leadership path also serves as a motivating force for employees, who can see that their hard work will be rewarded with promotions and other benefits.
Having well-defined roles and performance standards makes candidates know what is expected of them, and HR can more easily understand if a candidate is a right fit for the role.
Those well-defined roles and standards make training easier, as trainers know exactly which areas need to be covered, and which information is nonessential.
Clear expectations and roles set employees up for achieving goals from the start, providing a springboard to success.
Employees who feel that their company is invested in their success stay with their companies, increasing employee retention.
Consistent feedback and coaching from managers lead directly to increased engagement from employees while developing the ability to provide good coaching and feedback leads to more skilled managers.
As employees become more skilled, they can move up through the company, creating a leadership pipeline.
Productivity will increase thanks to increased engagement, clear goals and upskilling of employees.
Employees remain incentivized to perform long-term, as they are properly rewarded for their hard work.
negatives
Managers are reluctant to provide candid feedback and have honest discussions with employees for fear of reprisal or damaging relationships with the very individuals they count on to get work done.
Many complain that performance management systems are cumbersome, bureaucratic and too time consuming for the value added
This leads both managers and employees to treat performance management as a necessary evil of work life that should be minimized rather than an important process that achieves key individual and organizational outcomes.
Management should be trained too. Coaching and offering good feedback are not easy jobs, which is why there are so many specialist coaches out there. For managers to be able to lead well, they should be trained in these skill sets

What is it?
It is increasingly understood that a yearly performance appraisal system does not effectively engage employees, fails to consistently set and meet company objectives, and does not result in a strong understanding of employee performance.
In contrast to other systems of reviewing employee performance, such as yearly performance appraisals, employee performance management is a much more dynamic and involved process with better outcomes.
In practice, performance management means that management is consistently working to develop their employees, establish clear goals, and offer consistent feedback throughout the year.
Studies show that employees do best with feedback on a monthly or quarterly basis, with regular check-ins serving as a zone to problem solve, adjust goals as necessary, and to refresh their focus on the goal. In fact, companies where employees meet to review goals quarterly or more frequently are almost 50% more likely to have above-average financial performance.
how?
Develop clear role definitions, expectations and goals

Pair goals with a performance plan
As you set goals, develop a performance plan to go alongside. Year-long goals often fail, as they are too large and employees can get overwhelmed before they start. A performance plan helps them visualize their path, making it much more likely that they will meet their goal.
Coaching should be frequent
The point of coaching is to help identify and solve problems before they get too big. If it’s not frequent, it’s not going to help at all. Monthly or quarterly meetings should be held to help keep employees on the right track.
Use guidelines to your advantage
Guidelines should be created for each role as part of the first stage of the performance management cycle. These policies or guidelines should stipulate specific areas for, or limits on, opportunity, search and experimentation. Employees do their jobs better when they have solid guidelines to follow.
Make sure your workplace has shared values and cultural alignment. A sense of shared values, beliefs and expectations among employees creates a more harmonious and pleasant workplace. Employees should be committed to the values and objectives outlined, and exemplified by, top management.
Managers should make sure to keep feedback professional and remember to focus on behavior, rather than characteristics.. - eg always happy = attitude encourages positive interaction and calm patients.
Management cannot expect employees to stay motivated if they are never rewarded, yet many companies overlook this key step. Make sure that employees are compensated and recognized for their hard work, and they will continue delivering for your organization.
Employees feel that their managers are unskilled at discussing their performance and ineffective at coaching them on how to develop their skills
In a yearly appraisal system, goals would be given at the beginning of the year and then revisited 12 months later to see if they had been met. This long stretch of time without feedback or check-in is an almost certain engagement killer.
why for SC
For manager
Without a system in place to define roles, understand individual strengths and weaknesses, provide constructive feedback, trigger interventions and reward positive behavior, it is much more difficult for managers to effectively lead their employees.

Employees who have frequent meetings with management to discuss performance, solve problems and receive training are more likely to stay with the company.
If employees see that their management team is putting in the work to develop them professionally, help them succeed with their goals, and reward performance on a consistent basis, then they are more incentivized to both stay with the company and work harder
Performance management also creates a need for management to consistently focus on company objectives and goals, and to consider how best to achieve them. This continual revisiting of goals means that they are more likely to stay relevant, as goals will be adjusted in light of new technology, changes in the market, or other factors throughout the year.
nice words
‘Everyday Performance Management’ system. The system is designed to be continuous, centered around a positive employee-manager relationship, with daily activity and feedbac
performance appraisals are reactive, and performance management is proactive.
performance appraisal looks at all of the past actions of the employee within a set amount of time, and rates how well they performed in their role and how many goals they met.
Performance management looks at the present and future of the employee, and what can be done to help future performance and meet future goals. Performance management is focused on the development and training of an employee, and how that can benefit both the employee and the company.
Development Objectives describe the skills, knowledge or behaviours you want to obtain to improve your performance in your current role, to prepare for an alternative future role or to help you to achieve your Performance Objectives.
Performance Objectives provide focus for the year ahead and show how your performance contributes to delivering our organisational strategy.
