Performance Management
Performance management, at its best, focuses on preparing people for the future, not rehashing the past.
Performance management and appraisal can play a pivotal role in getting results and improving performance. Unfortunately, many processes today focus more on documenting the past than preparing for the future. The result is the dreaded annual appraisal discussion that takes valuable time away from managers and employees – an administrative exercise that produces little if any benefit to either party.
To drive better performance, Cambria Consulting develops future-focused performance management processes. These begin with business strategy and performance metrics and cascade to the most critical accountabilities and goals of every employee.
Balancing Results and Behavior. Our approach provides a balanced view that allows our clients to compensate employees on both results and how they were achieved. We design performance management processes that:
- Link goal-setting and development planning to business objectives and strategy
- Create powerful sources of feedback for individual development
- Focus on the skills and behaviors needed to help employees raise the bar on performance
- Weigh difficult-to-evaluate factors such as teamwork and customer focus
- Provide just-in-time guidance for managers and their direct reports, inviting both to participate in an ongoing process of performance review, coaching, and development
- Evaluate people fairly and consistently while inspiring them to explore different ways to improve performance
If your performance management process isn’t engaging people at all levels of the organization, letting them know what is expected, where they stand, and how they can best learn and grow to achieve their role and career objectives, Cambria Consulting would like to show you a better way.
