What is performance management?

Performance management describes the arrangements that employers use to maintain, and improve the performance of their workforce so that the organisation achieves its goals. 

Most performance management arrangements involve:

• employees being set performance measurements
• meetings between a manager and each member of staff to discuss their performance
• assessing employees against their performance measures
• a record of performance is kept.

How this is done can vary widely, depending upon the particular needs of the organisation.

Good performance management is essential to get the best outcome for organisations and the workforce. If performance is not managed well, staff are unlikely to perform at their best.

Good performance management arrangements can help an organisation:

• motivate staff
• check that all staff are making valuable contributions towards organisational goals
• develop staff
• recognise and acknowledge the good work of employees
• deliver tasks and projects quickly and to required standards
• spot and improve poor performance.

However, it is important to keep the arrangements as simple as possible, so that managers and staff do not work around it.

Measuring staff performance

How performance is measured and assessed can be difficult for employers to get right. Staff should be set challenging performance measurements. This might involve setting your employees objectives and/or expected behaviours. What measurements you do set staff must be fair and must not be discriminatory.

Maintaining effective performance management arrangements

Once performance management arrangements are in place, they must be monitored and reviewed to ensure it is meeting the needs of the organisation.
