Performance Appraisals? - Practically, no one Wants to Work in an Organization Like a School System

Performance appraisals and appraisal forms have gone. They are now old school matters and are universally hated by people.

How many people in your organization like to be part of appraisal and want to hear whether they were perfect last year? - Practically, no one wants to work in an organization like a school system.
The only prevailing concept is linking the salary increase with appraisal scores. If performance appraisal has to be implemented with a true intention, then the only thing to consider is Performance Management System. Now, what is the difference?

Performance Management System is about developing employee and linking to organization's future.
If you want to really implement a proper performance management system which can make your people happy at workplace, you can use following points at a guide:
  • Create a mindset of participation by employee and manager for performance planning.
  • Purpose of job existence has to be defined. You and your subordinate need to sit and define what will happen if this job is cut.

    The outcome of what will happen is the foundation of setting goals for future.

    These goals for future will begin with defining performance standards of this job.

    Performance standards create the minimum criteria for performing the job successfully so that the purpose of job existence (as defined earlier) is fulfilled.
  • Quarterly feedback to employee necessary is in this cycle of performance management system.

    Manager and his subordinate need to know on quarterly basis if the performance standards have been met.
  • Improve or train your employee if performance standards have not been met.

    Two points are necessary in improving performance standards shortfall: One is Counselling (if employee has not performed deliberately and another is Training (if employee needs some tuning after falling short in performance).
  • Set a time frame to review the performance standards after Coaching and Counselling. This process is called Performance Improvement Plan which ranges between 3 - 6 months.
At the end of the year, the final output of 4 quarters has to be compiled which should be used for rewarding employee.

Stop Fooling People in the Name of Motivational Speech

-
Different types of Public Speakers / Trainers have emerged over the time. But, truly speaking, there are very few who do this for both Monetary Benefit and Social Service combined. Let's begin first with what types of Training exist. 1. Technical Competency Training (Hard Skills). 2. Behavioral Competency Training (Soft Skills). 3. Motivational Training. As far as first two training types are concerned, these two skill categories merely talk about improving the technical side of job and the behavioral side of job such as Leadership, Decision Making, Relationship Management etc. But where is a problem? - Problem is actually where Young People have come into existence as Motivational Speakers and Coach. So what should be the age and why linking and limiting this training to age? - The point of view is to educate youngsters who have come up as Motivational Coach and they try to make hundreds of people start believing in them for no reason. Now why i...

Customers Can Ruin Your Business and HR's Role as Savior

-
HR's role is very pivotal during difficult times that organisations face in strong competition and where Customers appear to be very strong critics. Customers are the main business deciders. Your strategic plan ought to cover each and every aspect of Identifying and Satisfying Customers' Needs. But this is not it. Earlier, in the absence of social media, customers could impact an organisation (at maximum) by relinquishing the product,  which used to give some breath to the organization to get up from stumbling. Now, things have literally changed when customers do not only relinquish the product; but take revenge of being given a bad product. They express their heart out on social media, which brings an immediate impact. However, this is also not that extreme in front of some 'Naughty Customers' who always appear complaining even without organisation's fault. This term 'Naughty Customers' has recently emerged when some organisations came across a sit...

Collaborative Leadership, if Done Correctly, can Greatly Enhance Corporate Culture

-
Subordinates are expected to follow instructions. This can be changed to collaborative leadership. If done correctly, a great improvement can occur in corporate culture. Collaborative Leadership requires the support of a leader towards people bottom in hierarchy. This means that there is existence of leader's guidance and direction; but, at the same time, employees receive empowerment to make decisions at their levels. The leader stays ready to provide support to people down there in the hierarchy rather than seeing the employee wander here and there to seek help from other colleagues. This approach has been observed to have brought a great impact on company culture; hence employee retention.
