Deadlines seem to get tighter and we appear to be working longer hours, and harder. Managers often question why they are asked to spend their precious time carrying out appraisals and performance reviews, from which they often feel they derive little benefit or enjoyment.
There is no doubt that any such process, if poorly constructed and implemented, can do more harm than good. All too often it is reduced to an exercise in the completion of forms, rather than providing a focus on outcomes.
But, properly thought out and presented in a coherent fashion, they can help your organisation in a number of ways. A good system provides a healthy platform for critical assessment, for feedback, for improved teamwork, for work prioritisation and for highlighting more specific training and development needs.
We have the expertise and enthusiasm to help you look at performance management generally, assisting you in the creation of a suitable appraisal framework, in establishing methodologies for measuring performance and in dealing with both the high-achiever and the under-performer. We are also often called upon to advise on individual performance issues.
