Performance Management

Broadly speaking performance management is the process whereby a line manager, on behalf of their employer, defines what good performance and behaviours look like (through the setting of standards and objectives), understands and facilitates any support or development required, monitors the performance of employees and provides feedback on their performance.

Performance management is an employee lifecycle matter and starts through your recruitment and selection practices, into induction and continues through the probation period, through supervision or one to ones into the annual (or other period) formal review of performance.

The expertise we can bring to this area includes:

• Support with effective recruitment and selection processes
• Development of induction, probation, supervision / one to one and appraisal policies and policies related to underperformance such as Disciplinary and Capability
• Development of competency frameworks
• Development of forms and guidance notes for induction, probation, supervision and one to ones and appraisal
• Use of 360 degree appraisals and other development tools
• Identifying and dealing with persistent underperformance
• Training of line managers in delivering performance review, including feedback skills and objective setting
• Training of staff in engaging with the performance review process
• Managing the performance of volunteers
• Managing the performance of the Board

An HR Consultancy, such as Roots HR, can work with your organisation to develop performance management systems relevant to your work, your organisational mission and your business plan.

We can provide a simple appraisal form and guidance notes for the smallest organisation, coach managers on delivering one to ones or supervision and implement entire performance management frameworks covering different levels and types of output required.

We can also provide advice and guidance to support you in establishing key principles such as the purpose of performance review and the relationship in your organisation between performance and pay.

All work will be scoped with you and a proposal is provided for your review and approval.
