The importance of performance
In today’s competitive market, it is absolutely essential to systematically manage the performance of employees to make them as motivated and productive as possible.
Any organisation that risks neglecting this important systematic review, is bound to fail when competing against those who use such optimisation.
It is well known that motivated staff not only work harder and longer, but are also much more likely to innovate and bring new ideas than others.
Motivated employees
Innovative companies are much more competitive and can handle bigger challenges swiftly and come out stronger than their competitors. To create a productive atmosphere, an organisation simply needs to respond to the needs of its staff.
Understating what motivates employees and aligning it with organisation’s objectives is the essence of an effective performance management system. This system requires HR support, periodic appraisals and constructive coaching sessions.
