Performance Management

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT;

Performance management reminds us that being busy is not the same as producing results. It reminds us that training, strong commitment and lots of hard work alone is not results. The major contribution of performance management is its focus on achieving results -- useful products and services for customers inside and outside the organization. Performance management redirects our efforts away from busyness toward effectiveness.
Supervisors have conducted performance appraisals for years. Employees have attended training sessions for years. Organization members have worked long, hard hours for centuries. Processes, such as planning, budgeting, sales and billings have been carried out for years in organizations. But all too often, these activities are done mostly for the sake of doing them, not for contributing directly to the preferred results of the organization

Managing excellent performance in an organization requires systems that can contribute towards its success. Fundamentally it is important to engage the individual which consists of an intersection of personality and social and cultural systems which sum up the behaviour of the individual. People in the organization must be given the confidence, skill, training, career development for them to contribute to the organizational goal. Trust, training, learning strong leadership, job satisfaction, good image, clear communication, good relationship with little or no conflict good human and work values, positive attitudes towards work and colleagues, cultural diversity and a harmonious environment will certainly go a long way to creating excellent performance in the organization.
