Week Five of Twelve
Week 5: Employee Performance Management: Best Practices:
Overview:
Effective performance management helps employees grow and improves productivity. By setting clear expectations and providing constructive feedback, managers can support continuous development.
Key Points:
- Setting SMART Goals: Goals should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, providing a clear roadmap for employee success.
- Regular Check-Ins: Schedule monthly or quarterly check-ins to discuss progress, challenges, and support needs rather than relying solely on annual reviews.
- Providing Constructive Feedback: Offer balanced feedback, focusing on strengths while addressing areas for improvement in a respectful and supportive manner.
- Encouraging Self-Reflection: Encourage employees to assess their performance and set personal goals, fostering a growth mindset.
