I found this blog from our employment team a helpful read, and not just for managing performance that is actually ‘poor’. It’s so important that everyone knows where ‘the bar’ is, and where they lie in relation to it. Where people are struggling, we need to work with them to identify what they need to do, and give them training or experience to help them get there. We all find those difficult conversations uncomfortable, but small corrections along the way are so much easier than telling a, by then experienced, team member who thinks they’re doing what is needed that they’re nowhere near the bar and won’t get that promotion they thought they deserved. I’ve been impressed with the Farrer & Co approach - our Career Development Frameworks for different levels (even partners) are clear, and there is excellent training readily available. I hope you find the blog useful. https://lnkd.in/eTHpe68W

When PIPs (Performance Improvement Plans) don't work! Performance lags or poor performance is quite common. There are struggling employees who cannot come upto the expectations of their supervisors. Resultantly the supervisors with the help of HR offer PIPs to their average or poor performance so as to help them improve upon the weak areas. Why PIPs don't work? - Employees starts having a feeling insecurity. - Employee don't feel motivated and inspired. - Supervisors feel stressed out. They struggle with poor performers and they have to achieve the business goals at the same time. - Relationship between the supervisors and poor performers get strained. - This scenario creates more work complications and affects work culture negatively. Offer alternate options to the employees: When the employees do not feel comfortable and there is a growing negativity between the supervisor and the supervisees, HR should offer alternate options to the employees. 1. Offer a comprehensive PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) highlighting the weaker areas and how to improve upon those. Engage professional coaches including HR or people from peer groups within the same organization. 2. Create a package for such employees with severance pay if they do not want to opt for the PIPs. It will help them in finding jobs. 3. Offer professional services in preparing resumes, preparation for job interviews so that such employees can find alternate job options and they feel being helped out. If you have more ideas relating to PIPs, please share in the comments. #performanceappraisal #performancemeasurement #PerformanceImprovementPlan #PIPs #severancepay

Happy employees are indeed more productive employees. When individuals feel content and valued in their workplace, they are naturally motivated to perform at their best. Companies that prioritize employee well-being, offer opportunities for growth, and foster a positive work environment tend to see higher levels of productivity among their staff. Happy employees are more engaged, creative, and willing to go the extra mile to achieve organizational goals. Moreover, a culture that promotes happiness and fulfillment not only boosts productivity but also fosters loyalty and retention, creating a win-win situation for both employees and employers alike.
