Hi, today's bite is about the employee performance
management process.
What it is and how to best leverage it in your organization
by following our top five tips, so stay tuned.
What is the performance management process?
Performance management is a set of activities, tools,
and processes aimed to enabling employees
to achieve their goals.
Employee goals are often set at the beginning
of the performance management cycle when the employee
and his or her direct manager sit down to discuss goals
for the next year.
Performance management is the process of ensuring
that the employee has all the knowledge, skills, and tools
to achieve those goals in his or her role.
How can you improve the employee performance
management process in your organization?
One, actively involve the employee.
The time that performance management was a top down exercise
is long gone.
Performance management is very much a shared responsibility
between the employee and their direct supervisor.
Research shows that increased participation
of the employee in the performance management process
leads to higher satisfaction, higher commitment,
and higher motivation to improve one's performance.
Two, create a culture of continuous learning.
Learning new skills and capabilities is an enabler
of better performance.
One theme that has been popularized in recent years
is continuous learning.
Continuous learning requires an environment
that supports employee self development.
Self development means setting development goals,
seeking and using feedback to improve,
actively participating in development activities
and tracking ones process.
Key ingredients for this are informal feedback,
communication of organizational goals,
behavioral choices with clear consequences,
autonomy to make decisions that affect important outcomes
for the employee, and explaining the why of actions
in a way that is meaningful for the employee.
Three, create a robust 360 degree feedback system.
360 degree feedback, also called multi rater feedback,
is a system where feedback from an employee's subordinates,
colleagues, and supervisors are combined
with the employee's own feedback.
360 degree feedback can be used for informal feedback,
but is increasingly used in performance evaluations
and employment decisions like pay and promotions.
For more information, read our full guide
to 360 degree feedback by accessing the link
in the video description.
Four, invest in a good performance management system.
Performance management is a complicated process
involving many facets.
Streamlining this in a performance management system, PMS,
offers many benefits.
A good PMS includes both performance appraisal
and employee development.
These systems often offer continuous performance management
through regular reviews, they help in setting goals,
and should be customizable
to fit the organizational culture,
just like the 360 degree feedback discussed earlier.
Five, create a workforce of one.
Research shows that in academia,
employee satisfaction with performance management practices
depends on the tenure type of university employees.
This is intuitive.
You evaluate the performance
of a tenured professor differently
than the performance of a PhD student.
Different policy types and procedures for different groups
in an organization will maximize overall satisfaction.
The practice of customizing people policies
to unique individual cases is referred to
as the workforce of one.
That's it for this bite in which you've learned
what the employee performance management process is
and five best practices to effectively leverage it
in your organization.
