Why Performance Management is Important

You already have a wealth of talent in front of you at your organization. If you understand your employees’ true needs, you can then build your performance management process around how they choose to operate. 

In doing so, your employees will perform because you’re meeting their personal needs, and in return, they want to meet the organization’s needs — this is what performance management is all about.

What Performance Management is All About

✗ Performance management is not an annual performance review meeting. 

✗ It’s also not preparing for that meeting, nor is it a self-evaluation. 

✗ And it’s definitely not a performance review form, or a performance management tool. 

Many companies use performance management tools to track organizational goals and improvements, but they are not the complete process.

The performance management process creates an organizational climate where people are empowered to perform to the best of their abilities.

This is not to be confused with ‘satisfied’ or ‘happy’ employees, as satisfied employees do not seek to drive business results and happy employees impact organizational climate but may lack commitment to organizational goals.

So organizational decision makers (like yourself) must focus their efforts on improving employee engagement through proper goal setting and aligning employees with the company strategy to achieve sustainable business growth.
