Guide Aims To Make Managing Employee Performance Easier
New guidance is now available for businesses to help them manage the performance of their workforce more effectively.
With statistics showing that poor performance was raised as an issue in nine out of ten disciplinary hearings*, employment service Acas had produced the How to manage performance guide.
It provides advice on how businesses can set objectives with their employees, including drawing up an effective personal development plan, and is designed to help businesses build engaged, productive teams, improve communication and give employees a clear understanding of where they fit into the business and the skills and competencies needed to fill their role.
John Taylor, Acas chief executive says: “The new guidance from Acas illustrates that managing performance is central to the relationship between managers and employees as well as key to maintaining a productive workplace.
“It also gives employers a chance to monitor performance, develop skills and give employees the chance to express themselves.”
