Performance Management Systems

Performance management is intended to document the expectations of individual and organisational performance. It also provides a meaningful process by which employees can be rewarded for noteworthy contributions to the organisation, and provide a mechanism to improve individual and organisational performance.

Establishing actionable, role-specific, and achievable performance goals is critical to the success of an employee performance management initiative.

Effective Performance Management will:

• Ensure employees’ goals are aligned with the overall organisation’s business goals, mission, vision, and values
• Provide employees with a Personal Development Plan consistent with organisational goals and their specific needs
• Ensure fairness and objectivity in reward and recognition for the work done
• Enable employees to give/or receive feedback from their manager

Feedback is a natural part of performance management, and specific and timely feedback to employees about their performance against established expectations also provides the foundation for discussing developmental needs.
