Performance Management & Employee Satisfaction

How are your employees performing at work? If performance is lackluster, employee disengagement may be the root cause.

 

That’s why understanding engagement and performance management is critical to success. It’s up to the organization and its managers to fuel engagement, which results in improved performance and productivity.

 

 

Why does employee engagement matter?

Companies with high engagement experience…

 

16% higher profitability

37% lower absenteeism

2.5 times higher revenues

65% reduction in turnover

18% increase in productivity

These statistics make a strong case for investing in employee engagement!

 

Many contemporary organizations are placing a greater emphasis on their performance management systems as a means of generating higher levels of job performance.  We suggest that producing performance increments may be best achieved by orienting the performance management system to promote employee engagement.  To this end, we use a new approach to the performance management process that includes employee engagement and the key drivers of employee engagement at each stage.  We present a model of engagement management that incorporates the main ideas of the paper and suggests a new perspective for thinking about how to foster and manage employee engagement to achieve high levels of job performance.

 

 

 

Three key drivers of engagement

 

  • Connection: An employee’s connection to their boss, company and job
  • Recognition: Compensation, appreciation and acknowledgment of achievements
  • Performance: Development, feedback and professional growth

 

Performance management can improve all three of these drivers, directly improving employee engagement.  And statistics support this connection:

 

  • High-quality formal reviews increase employee performance by 25% and employment engagement by 35%
  • 43% of highly engaged employees receive feedback at least once a week

 

Why direct managers exert the most influence?

 

Because direct managers are involved in the day-to-day performance management of employees, they are critical to driving engagement.  To engage employees and improve productivity, managers should:

 

  • Give high-quality informal feedback
  • Accurately evaluate employee performance
  • Articulate clear organizational goals
  • Create clear work plans and timetables

 

The Barbelo Group's best practices can help managers have a direct influence on employee engagement—and the organization’s bottom line.

 

Employee Survey/ Assessment

 

Employee feedback is crucial to your organization’s health. Through:

 

  • Employee satisfaction surveys
  • Organizational culture surveys
  • Employee feedback systems

 

you can create a healthy corporate communication that will lead to greater:

 

Employee satisfaction

Employee retention

Employee loyalty

 

With this information you'll be able to quantify how well your employees embrace your organizations goals, values, and mission

 

 

 

 

  • A snapshot of your employees’ perceptions at any given time
  • Valuable tool - important to develop a continuous employee feedback system
  • Keeps you in communication with your employees and their changing perceptions, wants, and needs.
  • Employee satisfaction can decrease instantaneously with changes in leadership, corporate decisions, or added tasks.
  • A well-developed employee feedback system will prevent small issues from ballooning, keep rumors to a minimum, allow employees to share their frustrations, and encourage contribution of ideas for improvement.
  • The continuous nature of the feedback system provides comparative data, a long-term look at successes and failures, and a record of both positive and negative trends

Performance management is the greatest catalyst to successful talent management and it is often the most poorly implemented.  Done well, it enables the execution of business strategy by creating alignment, accountability and focus.
