Must Have Tips for Doing Social Performance Management Right

Frequently when performance management is mentioned, people think of the employee performance appraisal or review. Performance management, however, involves so much more. Properly constructed appraisals should represent a summary of an ongoing, year-round dialogue. Focusing only on an annual appraisal form leads to misunderstanding and under appreciation of the benefits of performance management.

An effective performance management process enables managers to evaluate and measure individual performance and optimize productivity by:
  • Aligning individual employee's day-to-day actions with strategic business objectives
  • Providing visibility and clarifying accountability related to performance expectations
  • Documenting individual performance to support compensation and career planning decisions
  • Establishing focus for skill development and learning activity choices
  • Creating documentation for legal purposes, to support decisions and reduce disputes
