​
Managing performance appraisals go beyond simply understanding the organization's appraisal process or the forms to be filled. It has never been tougher especially with remote working and virtual collaboration. Much of the unhappiness on performance reviews comes from a lack of understanding of what performance management is, how appraisals are carried out and how people managers can empower their staff to rise up to challenges. Performance reviews need not be a defensive game or a paper exercise with demoralising impact. Instead they can serve to appreciate, validate and help our employees grow. Managers skilled in this process will align, empower and retain their employees to perform at their best. It is too important to be left to chance or have a "check-off-the-box" attitude on this.
Why is this critical?
Because it is not possible to have a high performing team when employees are unclear about their work objectives, do not own their performance or see themselves grow with the organization.
-
Genuine commitment comes from honest conversations of doubts and concerns.
-
Ownership needs to be chosen authentically by the individual, not manipulated or cajoled.
-
When people leverage their strengths and gifts, they unleash their natural energy for performance.
-
Growth mindset reframes development as growth opportunities.
