What is Performance Management & How Can You Improve It

What Performance Management Entails and How to Improve It

Performance management has been essential to companies all over the world in the last few decades. The global pandemic, however, presented a new set of challenges that organisations needed to manage. Burnout, stress, pandemic anxiety, and excessive pressure have become a norm for many employees, and their functioning at work may sometimes take a knock from it all. For many, it is becoming increasingly more challenging to juggle work and personal life, and companies have had to adapt their approach to these issues. Human Resources Management is instrumental in this area, but without the right performance management systems in place, the entire organisation suffers.

What Does Performance Management Involve?

The first thought that comes to most people’s minds when they hear “performance management” is of an end-year evaluation or KPI, but the term encompasses so much more. It is not a one-sided set of assessments handed down by managers, but rather, a collaboration between employees and the organisation. It is a partnership in which the most important asset within the company – its people – work to align their performance with the goals of the organisation.

People are not machinery built to operate on command. They are complex, multifaceted, and have emotions and full lives outside of their place of employment. They are also vital to your organisation’s operations, growth, and sustained success over time. The approach to performance management must, therefore, be versatile, adaptable, and sensitive to the needs of real human beings.

Taking an Honest Look at Your Organisation

We at Orgro specialise in designing strategies that positively develop organisations, from the internal structure of these companies to how employees are managed. It all starts with honest and authentic assessments. We take the time to find out what makes your organisation tick, and then do the proper research on how best to improve or redesign the systems you have in place. We then help you to develop a goal-directed performance management plan that includes setting objectives and meeting them in a way that uplifts and empowers all involved. Partnering with us means establishing or reviving your:

• Policies and processes in place.
• Performance management system.
• Interventions, rewards programmes, and incentives.

Work engagement is another major factor that informs how well employees perform. It is a marker of how involved employees want to be and whether they find meaning and purpose in what they do. Our team at Orgro can help you to create jobs, roles, and responsibilities that improve work engagement, and subsequently significantly boost job performance. We identify and prioritise core issues such as motivation, values, aptitude, and behaviour which all affect your managerial strategies.
