With an increasing focus on management practices to increase production, productivity & profitability. With the advent of the information age and a “new economy”, management practices gradually focused more on the role people played. We bring you a fully customised Online Performance Management Platform, specific to your organization. The online Performance Management is simplistic from a user perspective with added functionality and workflows built in to ensure the elimination of human error or missing deadlines.
The Human Resource Online Performance Management process is more than just an annual performance review. It is a continuous process of setting objectives, assessing progress and providing ongoing coaching and feedback to ensure that employees meet their objectives and career goals. Imagine all this information at your fingertips, through our online platform to allow for monitoring past and present performance reviews and incorporating areas of importance.
The basis of employer-employee relationships is located in a contract by which employees undertake to do specific work (to perform) and employers agree to compensate them for work done. These contracts (performance requirements) are set out in employment agreements, job descriptions and performance agreements. Performance management is aimed at the practical management of these agreements (as well as deviations from them) in the workplace. Why keep manual traceability and extract records when you have it all at the click of a button?
The model advocated by Joubert and Associates includes an interrelated set of management tools that are aimed at managing people, results and remuneration. The process is schematically presented as follows:
Regular weekly one-on-one work discussions and well-planned (productive) team sessions form the cornerstone of the process. During one-on-one conversations, in-time measurements are used as a basis to effect problem solving and decision making. Staff members thereby receive continuous feedback coupled with assistance to improve performance. In-service training (coaching / mentoring) occurs during these processes.
Through regular communication, levels of participation and commitment are increased. Managers thereby also create a positive climate and a culture in which:
This can be applied, maintained and managed through your own online platform.
During the performance review the emphasis falls on the preparation of a course of action for continued development and improvement of performance. The outputs of the process are relayed in one-on-one sessions in the following term.
The first tool, called Performance Appraisal has a quantitative approach. This instrument assesses employee performance on an evaluation scale and culminates in a weighted performance score.
The second (and new) tool, referred to as a Performance Discussion, has a qualitative approach. This instrument assesses employee performance, but without a numerical scale, and there is thus no total score calculated at the end of the discussion. This new tool was designed to focus on action plans to improve performance (personal development and strategic objectives) rather than the ratings itself.
Both these tools can be adapted to suit the uniqueness of the company. One such example is to not only assess the employee against the Key Performance Areas but also against the required skills and knowledge that he/she should have to be successful in the position.
