A more efficient business wastes less, is more productive and more profitable.
Management
A key function of managers is to help their team become more efficient and to help team members improve their goals. A great tool for this is an effective appraisal system. Most medium and large firms use staff appraisals but they mostly don’t work. One reason is that the system is often quite badly designed but the major reason is poor management training. If a manager is not specifically trained to get the most out of appraisal, it simply becomes a valueless pen pushing exercise, often with a resulting decreasing in motivation all round.
We have extensive experience of custom designing excellent staff appraisal systems to specifically match the needs of our clients and to comply with the requirements of IIP. We can provide training for your managers (this usually takes 2 – 3 days) and also training for your people who will be appraised. Yes, appraisees need to prepare for their appraisal to ensure they get the most out of it. Their careers depend on it. Appraisee training generally just takes a couple of hours.
A great staff appraisal system
enables peolpe to agree their own goals, discuss their performance openly and constructively and the contribution from their boss and the rest of the team. This results in identifying what additional support the individual needs to be able to take on ever more ambitious goals. The paperwork needs to facilitate rather than be an end in itself.
