Framework for Employee Performance Management

Communications, Management, Personnel Comments (0)

The purpose of the next 4 podcasts is discuss employee performance management.  I suggest the following elements comprise the framework necessary for effective performance management.

This framework contains 4 elements:

• The Position Description
• The Performance Plan
• Performance Counseling
• Performance Evaluation

The position description describes the job that the employee performs in the organization.

The performance plan describes management’s expectations of the employee in terms of results.

Performance counseling provides the employee relevant comment and feedback, during the performance period, allowing the employee to capitalize on strengths and improve when needed improvement is identified.

Performance evaluation formally reviews performance during the performance period and serves as the basis for salary administration and employ development planning.

In the next 4 podcasts I will discuss each of these items in more detail.
