01/10/2020 Employee performance reviews are a vital part of helping the staff create a clearer goal for themselves which also serves as motivation to do better. While it is done differently from every organisation, the goal of boosting employee performance remains as the main priority.
Meanwhile, more than just informing the staff of their level of productivity, employee performance reviews are also a good way to build rapport and loyalty within the organisation. Not only it is good for the company, but also for the individuals concerned.
Now, every employee contributes to the success or failure of a business. That is why improving the efficiency of the workforce and boosting the quality of services that they provide is necessary.
So, whether you’re a manager or a regular staff, it is highly important to keep track of your performance. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses earlier is better so you can do something to focus on your strengths. And to further help improve every employee performance review, read these tips:
1. Find out why an employee is underperformingMerely knowing and thoroughly understanding the employee’s issues are extremely different. So gathering proper information and enough data as to why they are underperforming would be the best foot forward. And instead of making numerous assumptions, it is better to exert any effort in finding out why. This way, it would be best tackled and addressed accordingly with the people involved.
2. Encourage effective communicationEffective communication happens when two or more people deliver, receive, and understand the message being conveyed successfully. It holds an integral part in creating a clear and concise discourse between people. At work, it aids in livening up the team spirit, building stronger teamwork and job satisfaction.
On the other hand, effective communication gives way to clearly deliver employee performance reviews and lessen the instances of misunderstanding. Also, the team members should be encouraged to communicate their ideas, as well as their deadlines, progress, and things that they believe is affecting their performance.
3. Inspire a positive work environmentRelevant studies prove that happy employees and happy customers are linked together. Happier employees tend to perform better which is said to be the result of a positive work environment. On a bigger scale, the employee’s happiness does not come from being paid a huge amount, nor getting tons of incentives. It is more of the feeling that they are valued for their role, appreciated, trusted, and encouraged to do more. And that is entirely for the HR people to handle.
However, there is only a significantly small number of companies all over the world that highly prioritises employee well-being. Unlike in the Philippines, an impressive number of HR-focused outsourcing companies have been established that gives high regards to the overall employee welfare.
4. Continuous learning and developmentJust like how an employee was given a lot of attention during onboarding, they should be continuously provided with ongoing training. This way, the employees would highly feel that the company is very much concerned about developing their skills to further improve their performances too.
5. Use the necessary data to evaluate employeesMeasuring and analysing employee performance based on their accomplished tasks, quality of work, and other data-driven results help them to be motivated. Concrete data that shows their strength and weaknesses both empower the employees. It gives them a higher level of motivation and conviction in improving their performance. So supporting and encouraging staff development will, later on, reflect on the business.
ConclusionEmployee performance reviews have provided better results than most ways that the HR people have used before. For example, rather than subjectively calling out an employee and telling them a piece of your mind regarding their performance, showing them the data is more credible.
Now, cultivating a healthy environment and promoting open communication gives the employees more room to work towards the company shared goals. And definitely, it is a good way for them to grow and succeed individually.
