Performance Management
Behaviors drive results.
Our performance management services help organizations align individual activity with organizational strategy to connect people and results. It reinforces ownership of key strategic initiatives and provides a way to "keep score" on progress against objectives.
Given its critical role, performance management is a natural "next step" following strategic planning - though planning is not a prerequisite. Extra benefits accrue to people and organizations when performance management is aligned with the focused vision and action plans developed through strategic planning.
Organizations and individuals alike benefit from well-designed performance management programs. They focus resources on the areas of greatest potential impact. They bring clarity to performance expectations and evaluations. They help associates master valuable skills and expertise critical to success.
Designing a performance management program typically begins by identifying the key metrics and drivers that matter most to the organization. To affect behaviors, the measures must be visible and meaningful to associates. We help clients align individual, team and leadership action with these key metrics and establish the required performance at individual and team levels for the organization to be successful.
Implementation focuses on applying the program design to individual performance "scorecards" and launching the necessary support mechanisms to ensure success. To reward right action, the compensation philosophy and policies must be linked to results, revenue and profitability. Periodically fine-tuning the compensation metrics optimizes benefits to the organization as a whole and to the individuals driving results.
