Embedding Performance Management in Your Company
Culture
Ineffective performance management. Employees are
afraid at the slightest mention of it, bosses are
demonized, and feedback isn't offered or
accepted for fear of reprisal or termination in
many firms. And the issues don't end there. Take
into account the hours lost, job interruptions,
and decreased happiness, and you have a
full-fledged performance management catastrophe.
There. We said it. To avoid such horrifying
experiences in the future, organize and keep

The Bright Side It doesnt have to be this
way! Many firms are adopting performance
management as a valuable culture enhancer and
advantage. They are boosting employee happiness,
cultivating internal leaders, strengthening work
relationships, and saving time by altering their
strategy. All while more efficiently controlling
and bettering staff performance. The Brighter
Side You too can! If you are deliberate and
attentive about the aspects of your performance
management methodology, it may become a
beneficial element of your firms culture.

Focus on what matters Your employees
The first step in altering how performance
management is regarded in your business is to
shift its focus. Employees will not respond
positively if they believe that performance
management is a pretext for their employer to
squeeze more work out of them.
Employees have distinct requirements, goals,
constraints, and abilities. Conventional
performance evaluations jam triangular, square,
octagon, star, heart, and oval pegs into
round-hole solutions. Effective

People fear the unknown, and your employees are
no exception! Employees may despise performance
management since they don't understand how their
performance is judged or viewed. It's tough to
hit a target that you can't see. Increased
clarity will help employees in meeting
expectations and understanding where they stand.
To ensure that the expectations are met
4

• DEFINE EXPECTATIONS Avoid ambiguity by outlining
  and describing expectations for every team, job,
  or individual.
• BE CONSTRUCTIVE No employee will always live up
  to every expectation. Give them the desired
  breathing space. Set goals with staff to improve
  between evaluations using the expectations.
• ACKNOWLEDGE While workers should be aware of the
  expectations they are failing to achieve, it is
  equally (if not more) crucial that they be aware
  of which expectations they are surpassing. Heap
  praises on employees every chance you get!

Be open to Feedbacks/Suggestions

• We argue that everyone makes errors and no one is
  flawless, yet bringing out a flaw in the
  workplace is terrifying for both the critic and
  the critiqued. Changing your organization's
  attitude towards feedback can be tricky, but it
  is essential for cultural improvement. Here are a
  few feedback strategies to promote and implement
  so that feedback becomes a comfortable and
  appreciated part of your performance management
  and corporate culture
• FORM TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS Giving and receiving
  feedback is a delicate experience that
  necessitates trust. It is critical for
  organisations to demonstrate to employees that
  their input is valued.
• RECEIVE GRACEFULLY, GIVE GENUINELY When someone
  provides feedback, accept it humbly and convey
  thanks for the candour. Genuinely care about the
  success of people to whom you provide feedback
  to.

• MAKE IT PRODUCTIVE Feedback should result in
  improvements. Encourage positive and actionable
  feedback.
• ACT AND FOLLOW UP When others offer feedback
  about your company, make sure to act on it and
  resolve the problems. This will forge a framework
  for how feedback is addressed in your business.

Efficiency
Nobody enjoys wasting time. Employees acquire
unfavourable attitudes toward things that impede
them from accomplishing important work, whether
it's a protracted watercooler anecdote you never
wanted to

hear or a performance assessment procedure that
wastes two million hours (not an exaggerationask
Deloitte). Here are a few techniques to improve
performance management efficiency and save staff
time

• KEEP IT SIMPLE Flip the script on your present
  performance management processes and assess the
  performance of each component. This would help
  you cross-out most of the procedure.
• INCREASE FREQUENCY Instead of a year-on-year
  assessment, try holding more frequent
  performance management and review meetings.

• AUTOMATE Performance management automation
  software simplifies and improves performance
  management for all parties involved. Try our HR
  Solutions today and never raise an eyebrow!
• Succession Planning
• Employees have professional ambitions and
  interests. Participating in those aims and
  interests helps firms address internal needs,
  establish leadership channels, and demonstrate
  how committed they are in each employee's
  success. To incorporate succession planning into
  your performance management system

• ASSESS INTERESTS While reviewing completed work,
  hold talks about future occupations and
  experiences that workers would want to have.
• AID EMPLOYEES When employee goals align with
  organisational needs, managers should actively
  seek chances to assist employees in developing
  the skillset required to attain those goals.

• FULFIL NEEDS, INTERNALLY Filling organisational
  requirements with current staff records is a
  win-win situation. The business saves time and
  money by not having to go elsewhere to fulfil a
  demand, and the employee has the chance to
  advance in his or her career.
