Lucinda continues the High Performance HR series by focussing on the critical elements of performance management that drive high performance within organisations. She talks about the importance of clear goals, regular feedback, ongoing development, and a supportive culture in fostering employee engagement and performance.

Lucinda also outlines practical strategies for implementing continuous performance management, moving away from traditional annual appraisals to a more dynamic approach that includes regular check-ins and coaching conversations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


High performance is driven by clear goals supported by regular, constructive feedback. Engaging employees in setting their own SMART goals significantly enhances their engagement and performance.


Moving away from traditional annual appraisals to a culture of ongoing performance conversations is essential. Regular check-ins, goal adjustments, and developmental feedback foster a dynamic and responsive work environment.


Ongoing development and coaching are critical for employee engagement and performance. Managers should adopt a collaborative coaching style, encouraging employees to reflect on their performance and identify areas for improvement.


Acknowledging high performance behaviours boosts morale and reinforces desired actions. Recognition should be timely and specific to ensure employees feel valued and motivated.

BEST MOMENTS

"Clear goals supported by regular feedback is the most consistently cited way to achieve high performance."

"Continuous performance management is trying to create a culture of ongoing dialogue between managers and employees."

"If goal setting is a living, breathing process, it’s not something that’s gathering dust in a drawer for years."

"Employees who receive daily feedback from their managers are three times more likely to be engaged than those who receive just annual feedback."
