Are you looking to enhance productivity and ensure your organization’s goals are met? A workplace performance management program will provide you with a clear pathway to achieving your corporate goals.
What is performance management?
Effective performance management monitors the progress being made towards achieving corporate objectives. Targeted performance management software can be used to uncover actionable insights, which enable leaders to optimise the performance of their staff.
How can I implement a successful Performance Management Program?
1. Identify your business objectives and align your KPIs
You may already have a performance management program in place, however, it’s important to reevaluate this periodically as your business grows or your goals change. To update or implement a performance management program, you’ll need to identify the objectives of your organization and set effective staff KPIs to align with the overall business objectives. The ACES acronym can help define your workplace goals:
Achieve – What do you hope to achieve?
Conserve – What do you want to maintain?
Eliminate – What is no longer providing benefit to your business?
Steer clear – What do you want to avoid?
2. Analyze your current situation
Do you currently have a performance management program in place? Why is it not providing you with the data you need to improve productivity? Are certain KPIs driving the wrong behaviors?
3. Enrol in a performance management course
Make sure your managers have the skills they need to implement and maintain a robust performance management program. Call Design’s Performance Management Essentials course enables you to implement a successful performance management program by teaching managers and team leaders the ACTIV8 methodology:
- Align
- Connect
- Teach
- Influence

4. Educate your staff
Once your managers have completed the two-day Performance Management Essentials course, they’ll be able to educate staff. Team leaders can initiate dialogue with staff about how a new performance management program can be used to set and monitor strategic goals and to help them achieve their personal targets.
