Great ideas and even great staff are not enough to make a business a success. The two have to be brought together so that they both bring out the best in each other. Employees have to be meaningfully directed and their performance should be measured in an objective way to inform the decisions of management. Without a solid basis for the measurement of employee performance many key decisions can be undermined.
Proper measurement of the performance of employees is key to driving companies to fulfilling their full potential. Whether it's for the purposes of probation approval, annual appraisals, individual advancement by promotion or even redundancy selection resulting in termination, companies need to understand and be able to show who their key performers are.
Problems caused by poor performance management:
- Payment of bonuses or pay raises can appear arbitrary or even worse, targeted at favourites, which can result in loss of staff and even litigation
- Differences in pay between colleagues cannot be justified, leading to resentment and potentially expensive legal action
- Success or failure of departments may not be fully understood, further undermining management decisions to make changes or improvements
