Firstly, congratulations on already having a Performance Management Process set up and running and I’m sure you’re already seeing the benefits.
As we know, performance management processes, including individual reviews, have the potential to foster the growth, development, and engagement of your people. We also know that when done well, reviews can help you to invest in and retain the right people. And we know that like all systems and processes, they can also be improved with some reviewing and tweaking over time.
In this post, we’re focusing on improving and further developing the questions you may want to ask throughout your process.
The challenge for all of the areas in which you might want to focus on in your performance review process is to make them short enough so they’re achievable – yet useful enough so that both you and your team members can see a tangible benefit from the time spent.
By doing some homework before the review process and asking more targeted questions, practices have been able to systematically work through the topics listed above to focus on and monitor improvements for particular areas. This in turn, leads to measurable successes and a team that understands the purpose of your ‘chats’.
