ABC Manage people performance assessment 1

Introduction

ABC Company is a business which needs to monitor and manage the performance of staff carefully. Performance management is the process of establishing goals and measuring performance against these goals.

Implementing a formal performance management process can help you:

retain your best employees

give employees reason to maintain or improve their good performance

decrease poor performance

attract skilled and productive staff.

As an employer, you may have questions about the performance management process when it involves an employee with disability.

A performance management plan documents the agreed performance targets for an employee and contains information about how performance will be measured against these targets.

Performance Management is an ongoing process, not an event. Each element is linked to and builds on the previous elements. In this way, the performance management process creates a road map that employees and managers follow to maximize individual and organization success.

Overall Performance Management System

Planning

Effective managers plan their work. Planning means setting performance expectations and goals for groups and individuals to channel their efforts toward achieving organizational objectives. Getting employees involved in the planning process will help them understand the goals of the organization, what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and how well it should be done.

Monitoring

Effective managers see to it that assignments and projects are monitored continually. Monitoring well means consistently measuring performance and providing ongoing feedback to employees and work groups on their progress toward reaching their goals.

Developing

Effective managers evaluate and address the developmental needs of their employees. Developing in this instance means increasing the capacity to perform through training, giving assignments that introduce new skills or higher levels of responsibility, improving work processes, or other methods. Providing employees with training and developmental opportunities encourages good performance, strengthens job-related skills and competencies, and helps employees keep up with changes in the workplace, such as the introduction of new technology.

Rating

An effective manager will, from time to time, find it useful to summarize employee performance. This helps the manager look at and compare performance over time or across a set of employees. Organizations need to know who their best performers are.

Rewarding

Effective managers understand the importance of using rewards well. Rewarding means recognizing employees, individually and as members of groups, for their performance and acknowledging their contributions to the agency’s mission. A basic principle of effective management is that all behavior is controlled by its consequences. Those consequences can and should be both formal and informal and both positive and negative.
