How to get Performance Management Right

An organisation can want performance management arrangements for a variety of reasons.

To create arrangements that best suit the needs of your business, there are a number of actions you, as an employer, should consider. 

• Identify clear aims

• Think about your organisation

• The key values of effective performance management arrangements

• Engage and consult with staff and their representatives

• Get senior managers on board

• Consider the skills and capabilities of managers

• Identify clear aims

The purpose of performance management can vary from organisation to organisation. As an employer, ask yourself if your aim is to:

• celebrate good work?

• reward employees?

• better meet your organisational goals?

• support and improve staff performance?

• develop your staff?

• identify and remedy problems with performance?

Most performance management arrangements have a mixture of aims, but it is important to get the balance right.
