Components of Performance Components of Performance Management Management
1. Performance Planning: A dialogue between a supervisor and an employee to establish clear, specific performance expectations at the beginning of the performance cycle.
2. Coaching: Two-way discussions which focus on recognizing employee excellence and areas for improvement and learning, as well as identifying barriers to performance.
3. Multiple Sources of Feedback: A process which provides employees with performance information to supplement supervisory feedback; may include feedback sources such as self-evaluation, peers, constituents or direct reports.
4. Performance Review: A summative two-way discussion and written documentation focusing on employee performance: areas of excellence, goals for improvement and development needs.

Most of managers give training to their employees for three main purposes which are:
(1) To increase productivity or the performance of employees.(2) To achieve organizational goals.(3) To invest in employees to succeed in the unpredictable and turbulent business environment.

Effective trainingEffective trainingTraining requires an objective assessment of
training needs, a clearly defined policy, the support of top management, the cooperation of line managers, adequate finance and resources, time, skilled staff and asupporting appraisal system.
It has to be a genuine commitment — from top management and throughout all levels of the organizations.
Effective training or development depend on knowing what is required- for the individual, the department and the organization as a whole.

Why Coaching is needed?Why Coaching is needed? Coaching has traditionally been perceived as a remedy for
poor performance and as an approach that links individual effectiveness with organizational performance (HR Focus, 2001).
Other scholars have incorporated the importance of providing relevant learning opportunities so that improved performance (Mink et al., 1993; Redshaw,2000).
Aguinis (2013) states that “A system that involves employee evaluations once a year without an ongoing effort to provide feedback and coaching so that performance can be improved is not a true performance management system”.

Employee motivation impacts organizational performance by turning work beyond their normal expectations.
They are always on the lookout for opportunities that will bring them to the attainment of whatever goal they have set for themselves.
They unleash their energy and look at their work as a key to realization of their desired aspirations.

How to keep them motivated?How to keep them motivated?
Make sure employees are familiar with the goals of the organization. Do not allow room for misunderstandings. Take the time to sit with them and share the goals. Allow the employees to ask questions.
Lead by example. Be involved in working with employees to execute the goals of the organization. In addition, be willing to listen to the recommendations of employees. Allowing them to be involved in the goal-making process will spark enthusiasm.
Hold employees accountable. Once an employee understands his or her part in meeting organizational goals, he must be held accountable for meeting measurable targets. The best way to do this is to set deadlines and specific targets, and make employees aware of their importance.
Reward employees for success. If well-motivated employees' efforts have contributed to the success of the business, they should be rewarded. Rewards will vary depending on the size and financial means of a business. However, make sure that they are given something that shows genuine recognition.

Guidelines of key elements in one on one to ensure a great session:
![Page 35: Chapter 3: Performance Execution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55567b47d8b42abc5a8b5168/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Effective counselingEffective counseling Establish a one-on-one counseling and feedback system. Each manager should meet with
employees on an individual basis and devise a personal plan for goal achievement. Provide praise for good performance and seek feedback about how the employee can achieve her individualized goals.
Develop ideas for employee awards and recognition. Employees who receive recognition get a sense that the company appreciates their hard work. Of course, company promotions and raises can motivate workers. However, inexpensive alternatives like an "Employee of the Month" award can promote higher employee morale and motivation. Award dinners and small gifts can also foster a feeling of appreciation.
Run prize contests for employees. Announce the prize and rules before the contest begins. An employee performance contest is ideal for sales teams. Publicize the contest standings throughout the contest. This will motivate employees near the top to work even harder to take over the lead.
Have upper management meet face to face with employees to praise and encourage their hard work. Establishing face-to-face communications gives employees a sense that the management appreciates them. This fosters stronger employee morale and an environment of team building.
![Page 36: Chapter 3: Performance Execution](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/55567b47d8b42abc5a8b5168/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
This type of manager or employee meeting helps foster communication as well as aid in the development and strengthening of relationships within the organization.
Regularly scheduled one on ones promote 1) Opportunities to uncover methods for improvement 2) Reinforce good behaviors3) Remove obstacles that may hinder performance4) Support and strengthen accomplishments.
And it is with advanced planning that one on ones will be more effective.

Feedback should promote reflection and self review and be developmental. To be effective the process should:
• Be a dialogue which invites the views of the practitioner recognize achievement
• Provide constructive comments• Be based upon sufficient evidence• Identify areas for development• Give clear, unambiguous, even uncomfortable messages if required

Peter McLaughlin (2007) declared “...feedback conversations are essential. They force you to face reality, confront the problems that are causing your team to under-perform, and rise out of the swampland to a higher level of productivity – and a more enjoyable work environment.”
McLaughlin gives seven tips on how to make feedback effective:
Ask permission to give feedback, Set a tone of energy and optimism, Focus on specifics Show appreciation and say thank you Confront non-performance Remember it’s a dialogue, not a monologue, and Encourage and energize

Feedback and performanceFeedback and performance Regular dialogue between a supervisor and an employee about work performance
can have a positive impact toward improving both work performance as well as employee morale (Ritter et al.,2002)
Immediate feedback provides the employee informal performance information while directing future performance behavior. These informal sessions allow a continuous channel of communication which is used to manage, regulate and improve employee performance.
Feedback can become a more effective part of the reviewing process by simply moving forward, embracing change and looking into the future. Supervisors should talk specifically about how employees need to improve rather than blaming, thus giving goals of continuous improvement for the employee to work towards.
When giving feedback it is the manager’s responsibility to set up the meeting in such away that sets the employee at ease. Also, managers should remain free from distractions and able to listen.
Listening promotes calmness in the other person allowing the employee to be more receptive and open to the feedback that is being offered. Open ended questions are helpful in maintaining the right structure for the conversation. “The true benefit of feedback comes from creating opportunities for continuous growth, learning and improvement…on both sides” (Gunnet al., 2005)

The understanding of an agreement with vision, values and strategy. Competent, creative and determined people often do not buy into what they have not invented themselves. They have to be convinced of the value of what was invented elsewhere, and that is the first challenge in establishing total alignment.
Solution: executives should take as much time as necessary to involve people in formulating vision, values, and strategy. Involvement produces ownership and understanding, the key to uniting divergent corporate cultures.
Challenge in alignment:
(Khadem, 2008)

Company Example of Goal Alignment Best Practices: Seagate
Seagate was facing three major challenges. First, function and geographic silos created duplicated and conflicting goals which eventually led to inefficient resource utilization. Second, disconnect between employees and the organizational objective was causing major misalignment. Third, the current process created static goals that were insensitive to external changes. To combat those challenges Seagate crated a new approach to goal alignment.
“Collective Assessment of Executive Goals” – during March, the CEO and EVPs discuss the organization mission and vision and set annual goals. In April, the SVPs construct an understanding of the organizational direction and create personal goals based on annual goals. In May, SVPs attend a Goal Alignment Workshop where individual goals are revisited and evaluated. The model followed by the workshop includes Goals Posting and Voting, Goals Evaluation, Goals Refinement and Evaluation and Goals Presentation. By early May SVPs’ goals should be available online.
“Phased Rollout” – between late June and early July, VP-level employees and above attend a Goal Alignment Workshop to analyze corporate and executive level goals. Then VP-level individual goals, measures and targets are created and entered online. In July, directors create individual goals based on VPs direction. During August, the remainder of the hierarchy should have their goals and measures created and recorded in the online system.
“Transparency” – the system enables upwards and downwards goal visibility to improve and maintain alignment.
“Preventing Goal Dilution” – the company provides accessible support such as Suggested Goal- Setting Team Meeting Agenda, Goal-Setting Process E-Learning and Customized Calendar for Key HR Dates to mitigate the risks of diluting goals as they cascade down the hierarchy.
“Others” – the system provides adjustment mechanism to increase external changes sensitivity.
Those adjustments are visible to the employee manager, peer and direct report to prevent misuse. The system also provides on-demand reports that can be utilized in periodic review meetings and performance evaluations.
