What Is Performance Management?

An ongoing process whereby employee performance is continuously identified, measured, and developed to conform with the strategic goals of an organization, Performance Management is much more than an annual appraisal; it is meant to be an ongoing dialogue between managers and employees to ensure progress, growth, and success.

This means:

  • Goal setting
  • Feedback
  • Performance appraisal
  • Recognition and reward
  • Coaching and development plans

Proper and fair performance management helps employees and employers to recognize where they stand, which is the way forward for improvement.

Why Is Performance Management Important?

  • Aligns Individual Goals with Company Vision

Understanding the larger picture helps employees realize their contribution to higher goals: motivating and holding accountable.

  • Boosts Productivity 

Well-defined goals, accompanied by frequent reviews, create focus among employees, thus increasing the probability of achieving set objectives. 

  • Increased Employee Engagement 

Conversations on performance open an avenue for two-way communication, leading to higher morale and retention. 

  • Recognizes Skill Gaps 

Through regular evaluations, managers identify areas of training needs early on and plan their upskilling strategies.

  • Drives Business Growth 

In the end, performance management helps create a great human resource that drives the company forward.

Core Components of Performance Management

1. Setting Aspirations

SMART goals are set by employees and their managers, to clarify expectations and priorities.

2. Ongoing Feedback

Everyone continues ongoing feedback rather than relying on end-of-year reviews.

3. Employee Appraisals

Periodic reviews provide a structured way of showing the employee’s progress and enable recognition or course correction. 

4. Development Plans

Future anticipated roles, career paths, and skills to be developed should be identified. This makes performance management a tool for development of employees.

5. Acknowledgment and Rewards 

Encouragement creates a positive workspace where employees are encouraged to perform optimally.
