Resuscitate Performance Management to Revive Your Teams

This session will focus on how to implement a process of regular Check-Ins with employees for the purpose of performance management. Check-ins serve to remind those good employees how great they are and how much we value them in our organization. These regular Check-Ins also serve as a reminder for those employees that need to improve their performance, they need to do better! Our discussion will focus on how these Check-Ins should be structured (e.g., how long, how often, who should attend, and where should they take place), what should be covered during the Check-In, and how the messaging is critical. The session will also discuss how building this Check-In structure will ease the annual burden felt by managers and supervisors who procrastinate the task of writing and delivering annual performance evaluations. Through this process and structure good employees will be consistently reminded they are valued and thus increase their organizational commitment and engagement, while underperforming and underachieving employees will realize they cannot escape accountability so they will need to improve or move-on. The result, a revitalized workforce where people feel they are working in an appreciative and equitable environment.
