FAQs
How can regular feedback and performance reviews enhance employee development? 
Regular feedback and performance reviews provide employees with ongoing guidance and clarity on expectations, helping them improve skills and performance. These reviews offer opportunities for constructive dialogue, highlight areas for development, and encourage career progression through targeted support.
How can organisations set clear and measurable performance goals for employees?
Organisations can set clear, measurable performance goals by using the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound). Aligning these goals with broader business objectives and involving employees in the goal-setting process ensures accountability and motivation.
What strategies can be used to address underperformance in a constructive way?
To address underperformance constructively, employers should engage in open, supportive conversations, providing clear examples of areas needing improvement and offering coaching or training where necessary. Setting realistic improvement goals, regular progress check-ins, and providing resources for skill development can also help turn performance around. Performance improvement plans can signpost the way for employees to improve and ensure that relevant training and development are provided.
How can continuous performance management benefit both employees and employers compared to annual reviews?
Continuous performance management allows for real-time feedback, allowing faster improvement and stronger employee engagement. For employers, it ensures better alignment with evolving business goals and boosts productivity, while employees benefit from more frequent support, clearer direction, and timely recognition for achievements.
