Performance Management

Performance management is often just that “a performance”. Act one is a few very quick quotations about what the person is doing right.

The final act is a tragedy scene and has a long monologue about what quantifiable targets aren’t being achieved.

Employees who are committed to learning and growing are a competitive edge. The performance of your employees directly impacts the results of your whole team.

Managers need to invest more time in having effective performance management discussions. Managers also need to concentrate on behavioural targets instead of simply relying on the usual performance management metrics. It’s much easier to say that “we need to improve your team’s revenue levels” as opposed to “we really need to change some of your team’s behaviours.

Performance management involves the creation of an open and interactive work environment which supports the development of skills in employees. It involves building rapport, giving feedback and motivating people using various techniques.

The ‘Performance Management’ training program is designed to improve the skills of managers using a combination of lectures, examples, activities and discussions.
