You invest a lot in your staff through the cost of recruitment, paying salaries, national insurance, sick pay, holiday pay, etc.
As with all investments you expect to receive a return - through their contribution to your business success. This is the case whether
they are on the front line actually doing the work e.g. making the product, delivering your service, selling your product or service etc.
It is also the case if they fulfil a back-office role, as good administration is essential to any successful operation.
How do you ensure that your employees are performing well and giving you the return on your investment that you deserve? What do you do when
someone is under-performing? These are tricky issues. Everyone is different: some take longer than others to get to know their role before
they become a top performer; some will always go the extra mile and take pride in giving their best; others will do the minimum to get by.
Where do you draw the line?
Performance management is about laying out the standards you expect - setting goals and targets. It is also about measuring performance,
training and coaching those who need it, motivating employees to succeed, and tackling those who either can't or won't.
