Performance Management and Evaluation

Overview

Are you wondering how to motivate your employees to perform their best? Ideally, performance management effectively utilizes all systems that influence peopleís behavior at work, as well as hiring procedures, compensation and benefits, performance expectations and reviews, and reward systems. However, many times employees are properly hired and placed, but still arenít working up to your expectations or their potential ó or perhaps youíve made a hiring mistake and donít know how to correct it! We help our clients build performance management systems. We can help you with the process of establishing realistic and motivating expectations, monitoring and reviewing performance, and correcting and rewarding good performance.

How it Works

To design an effective system, our first step is to understand your organizationís goals and culture. What are you trying to achieve and how? Then we must analyze the roles and activities of different jobs to determine performance expectations and behaviors critical to success. From this we work closely with you to build the tools and the process to effectively develop, monitor and evaluate employeesí performance. Such a program includes the following:

• Clear expectations, standards or goals
• An evaluation format that allows managers to effectively document and review performance
• A review process that includes career development, coaching and feedback sessions
• Data upon which to base decisions such as pay, promotions and termination

We develop effective, easy-to-use forms and provide manuals and training for managers and employees. Managers are trained on how to use the system, conduct feedback sessions and conduct feedback sessions and performance reviews. Employees are trained in how the systems works and what is expected.
