Employee Alignment and Performance Management
Workforce Performance Management processes are the mechanisms by which the people in your organization are effectively aligned to the Strategic direction of your organization.
Effective Employee alignment must start with the translation of your strategies into actionable tasks and targets for your staff. That will require the agreement and sign-off on Performance Commitments between Managers who are ultimately accountable for results and the CEO/Board of the company, thus allowing these Accountable Managers in turn, to cascade commitments and accountability for aspects of the various Initiatives, Tasks, and Performance Standards to their direct reports.
If your organization has already completed its strategy workout (see BSN’s Strategic Planning and Facilitation services) our team will assist in developing and getting sign-off on your Performance Commitment framework for the coming year and ensure that the individual goals and objectives that are set and agreed are directly aligned with the corporate goals and objectives.
However if there is still no clarity on your organizations goals, on issues must be focused on to be successful, on levels of performance you are looking for against the various critical success factors or on Initiatives that will be required to achieve the desired performance levels, BSN can assist you in developing the entire Strategy framework that is a precondition to effective workforce performance management.
Performance Assessment
Once objectives and Standards have been agreed and accountability for their achievement cascaded, we at BSN believe that to ensure achievement of the company’s objectives, we must periodical measure, monitor and manage performance against the Tasks and Targets that have been agreed that you must also measure whether staff are achieving on the Development goals that have been agreed. Achievement of these development objectives will ensure that they do have the competencies and skills required to achieve against current objectives as well to meet future requirements if those staff are deemed to have the potential do deal with increasing levels of complexity.
