How important is Performance Management (P.M.) in today’s high-flux organization?
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n
Performance Management is quiet critical in high flux organizations.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
CEO\u2019s stated in 2010 that performance management will be the greatest challenge in the coming years. Lack of strategy, leadership, clear responsibilities, poor communication, poorly formulated plans, a dysfunctional organizational structure and evolutions in the direction that are not correctly followed through top the list for reasons for the failure of a venture. The rapidly changing economic situation and the accompanying uncertainty are also beginning to have a substantial impact. Furthermore, executives are facing increasingly critical challenges. Therefore, there is a need for an all-encompassing management system. High-performance organizations make sure that all their management systems focus on one clear system, better known as \u2018Organizational Performance Management\u2019.<\/span><\/div>\n

Whose responsibility is Performance Management?
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n
Performance Management is both HR and People Manager responsibility. HR lay the guidelines and People Managers are expected to implement the guidelines and get the best performance from the employees<\/span><\/div>\n

What are the key gaps in current industry practices in managing employees\u2019 performance?
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n
In 2013,\u00a0CEB research<\/a>\u00a0found that 86% of organizations had recently made significant changes to their performance management system, or were planning to. In 2014, a\u00a0Deloitte survey<\/a>\u00a0found that 58% percent of companies surveyed did not think performance management was an effective use of time.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Hence many companies are reinventing their performance management practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Other than better pay or job roles, what are the main reasons why people change\u00a0jobs?<\/h1>\n
People change jobs because they are not engaged in meaningful work, lack of engagement and they do not find the environment inspiring, lack of purpose is also a reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Many a time people change jobs because of a bad boss.\u00a0More often they do not find enough challenges in their work and quit often.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

What makes a really effective P.M. programme? Any best practices to share.<\/h1>\n
\n
    \n
  1. Think of Performance Management as an entire system, starting in interviews with potential employees and continuing through orientation, training, coaching, and counseling, and recognizing peak performance.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Stop communicating about performance appraisals and performance management as if it is merely an annual event. The only annual part of it is salary action and\/or filing forms. Think of the performance appraisal as an ongoing workplace conversation.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Train managers and employees on giving and receiving positive and negative feedback on an ongoing basis.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Hold managers accountable for having ongoing conversations about work and goals.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Actively seek to align individual goals with organizational goals.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Encourage employee participation and ownership in the performance appraisal process. Create an environment where together the manager and employee can question, challenge and discuss goals and objectives to gain clarity.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Use the performance management system, Armstrong advised, to link with the organization\u2019s values. &quotValues should be reflected in the organization\u2019s core competencies and they should show up in interviewing as well as in performance appraisals.&quot<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Link the performance management system with retention, development, and succession planning initiatives. This linkage explains why specific people advance<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Openly communicate to all employees how your compensation system works. If merit pools average 2 to 3 percent annually, for example, let everyone know this. Manage expectations around annual increases to control the rumor mill and misinformation.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Where possible, have a second-level review of performance appraisals, either by HR or second-tier management.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
