"Every employee needs motivation for performance management to be successful. Employees must take some responsibility in motivating themselves. Management must help motivate and develop employees. However, both managers and employees must take and own the actions for success to occur.
In addition to stimulating motivation, performance management is important because it highlights: training needs, boosts morale, helps with identifying the right employees for promotion, helps define career paths, supports workforce planning, increases employee retention, delivers greater employee autonomy, and improves accountability.
Using my original platform: Demand Excellence in Everything You Do: Your D.E.E.D. to Success. I will share with participants how to D.esign - E.ducate - E.xecute - D.ocument strategies for effective performance management. The D.E.E.D. gets to the heart of goals. Also, it lays the groundwork for increasing personal development in individuals and offers a laser-focused approach to engagement and culture for organizations. The word DEED has two primary meanings: (1) Own and (2) Action. Teaching leaders how to create an environment that is conducive to individual success will reduce turnover and improve the bottom line for the organization."
