The five activities which comprise the elements of PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT are a cycle. The cycle evolves over some defined time period meaningful to the group. Some groups repeat portions of the cycle literally every day. Other groups define their cycle over some other measurement period, such as a fiscal year.
Here’s the breakthrough - Make your cycle as short as possible. The elements of the cycle collectively enhance task clarity, improving performance. Use the tools discussed above to enable the shortest of cycles without crossing that line of distraction. Like an athlete, your recurring coaching within each cycle enables practice of the critical tasks…which eventually becomes muscle memory, turning the players in your team into champions.
Well integrated HRIS systems offer comprehensive platforms which incorporate virtually all the PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT best practices referenced above in one tool. Find a provider who will deliver the HRIS system in such a way to provide not only software, but add value and enhance performance for your team in the process.
