Performance Management

Performance management is the process of identifying, evaluating and developing the performance of employees to better achieve the goals and objectives of the organisation. Performance management provides a process that establishes a mutual understanding of the expected levels of performance, behaviours and objectives to be achieved.

Well structured performance management processes are designed to effectively improve organisation, team and individual performance creating beneficial effects for both the organisation and employees.

Employees benefit by:

• receiving regular feedback on performance,

• being recognised for high performance and achievements,

• identifying appropriate support, development and training,

• setting short term and long term goals for roles and self development,

• Identifying strengths and weaknesses.

The Organisation benefits by:

• having a formal measurement of individual employee value to the organisation,

• streamlining performance in a way that organisational goals and objectives can be achieved,

• obtaining formal records of employees performance in the case of disciplinary proceedings,

• Gaining essential information on strengths and weaknesses of employees.

Performance management systems will vary from organisation to organisataion depending on the size and nature of the business of the organisation. The KP Solutions Human Resource team offer a variety of support in the performance management area including reviewing current systems, developing systems and providing training in performance management.
