  6. Four Principles of Effective Performance Management • Focus on performance, not personality • Focus on clear job expectations and goals • Focus on clear feedback • Focus on involving people

  7. Supervisors Needed To Be Able To: • Plan • Communicate • Provide positive reinforcement (motivate) • Provide constructive feedback • Manage conflict • Listen effectively

  8. The Planning Phase -Setting Goals/Expectations • Gives people a common target to shoot for • Builds commitment to the job • Decreases misunderstandings regarding performance expectations • Provides a foundation for coaching • Makes performance reviews and feedback more objective and less judgmental

  9. The Coaching Phase • Staying in touch continuously • Discussing issues one-on-one • Focusing in on problem-solving • Providing positive feedback and constructive criticism • Ensuring the communication is two-way (the employee owns the outcome)

  10. Why Feedback (Coaching) Is Important • Addresses issues before they become problems • Demonstrates to employees that you are concerned about them and their performance • Builds a working partnership between supervisor and employee • Improves performance and results

  16. Solving “Won’t Do” Problems • Provide help as if it were a "can't do“ problem • Establish consequences if the behavior or actions continue • Establish open and honest communication through a “helping” versus “punishing” attitude

  18. Coaching Steps • Identify possible solutions • Invite and make suggestions • Give and invite reactions • Summarize suggestions and steps agreed upon • Develop performance improvement/action plan

  19. Developing an Improvement Plan • Clearly state the goals in measurable and observable terms • Probe to find out if the employee's view of the goal matches yours • Ask the employee for suggestions or ideas • Develop and document the action plan • Establish a follow-up date • Reassure the employee that you will do everything possible to assist in the process

  23. Opening The Meeting • Conduct the meeting in a private place • Restate the purpose for the meeting and your philosophy on the purpose of the performance appraisal • Outline the agenda of the meeting • Tell the employee that you encourage questions or ideas

  24. Positive Performance Discussion • Make a general reference to the performance • Give specific examples of the performance • Mention personal qualities that contributed to the performance • Mention benefits of the performance to you and the department or company

  25. Not-so-positive Performance Discussion • Summarize areas that have not improved or have not improved to the level expected • Summarize expectations • Secure commitment to change • Secure understanding of consequences

  26. Complete the Performance Appraisal Form • After the meeting finalize the performance appraisal document • Provide copy to employee • Reserve a copy for the personnel file • Start the cycle again – schedule time to discuss goals for the coming year
