COURSE OVERVIEW:
Performance management isn’t an easy field to navigate. It’s constantly evolving. New performance management trends emerge every year and all too often, human resource departments get it wrong. Employees are left feeling deflated, unmotivated and unengaged and managers are frustrated at the poor levels of team and individual employee performance. Thankfully, more and more companies are waking up to the importance (and resulting benefits) of effective performance management systems. The first step towards revitalising and improving your existing performance processes is to understand what an effective performance management system is.
Performance management involves many roles. You must be a communicator, a leader, a role model, and a collaborator. Each individual member of the team should understand exactly what their responsibilities and expectations are, and as their supervisor, you should work to help them reach those goals.
Some people find performance management to be a difficult role to play. Some people in particular have difficulty when it comes to evaluating performance. But when it’s done well, performance management is about partnership and motivation. If it’s done from this perspective, there is nothing to be uncomfortable about. When this perspective is shared with your employees and they learn to see it that way, performance management becomes a powerful tool that helps your team to become more successful.
An effective performance management system ensures that there is a continuous process of performance enhancement through setting individual and team goals that are aligned with the strategic goals of the organisation. This involves reviewing and assessing performance and ensuring the training and development of knowledge, skills, and abilities.
This course provides detailed information on performance management, it’s benefits and the foundation of an effective performance management in the workplace. Then explains the common reasons for poor performance. We also discuss coaching for good performance and the characteristics of a successful coach. Finally, we introduce performance improvement techniques for individuals and for teams.
