Performance Management Practice Today.! In Global Context
Performance
management is the process or an activity of developing a working environment
where people can perform to their maximum abilities. The aim of this process is
to maintain and improve employee performances in line with organizations
objectives. It’s also a system that starts when a job is distinct as a
needed job function to the organization. This continues process take place
until the employee leaves the organization or resign from his or her
employment.
Its better
defined by Armstrong as, ‘Performance Management is the continuous process of
improving performance by setting goals that are aligned to the strategic goals
of the organization, planning performance to achieve the goals, reviewing
progress, and developing the knowledge, skills and abilities of people
(Armstrong, 2016).
‘In
Summary Some of the main tools used in performance management are, setting
clear objectives, Performance ratings, Performance appraisals and feedback,
learning and development and Performance related pay’ (CIPD,2017).
Many companies
globally have shown importance to performance management, ‘In 2012, Deloitte
uncovered the fact that 2 million hours a year were spent completing forms in their
company. They also carried out a survey that reflected that 58% of the HR execs
believed the existing performances management system didn’t drive engagement of
performance. In reaction, the organization massively revamped their approach to
performance management and introduced Snapshot, an app- Based
management system’ (Heran, 2016). Furthermore, Heran explains that employee’s
feedback was collected through this app on five key aspects as, Business
acumen, global acumen, technical capability, leadership skills and
relationships.
The well-known electrical company, General Electricals
used to have a very infamous performance management system known as “Rank and
Yanks. In this system the employees were rated in the annual performance review
and the bottom 10% was fired. But currently the company have aborted this
system and developed an App called Performance Development at GE, (PD@GE). This
app has helped employees and managers communicate regularly where it has helped
the HR department save a lot of time in conducting annual performance reviews
(Heran, 2016).
An article
written by peter Cappelli and Anna Taris to the Harvard Business review
explains the global changers that organizations are adopting into performance
management practices. They explain that companies like Adobe, Juniper Systems,
Dell, Microsoft, IBM, Deloitte, Accenture, GAP have given up the traditional
appraisal systems and replacing with frequent, informal check-ins between
managers and employees (Cappelli and Taris, 2016)
Finally, Contemporary Performance Management Practice in a global Context is taking its stand in many top corporates worldwide. It is advisable to look at these global changes and the impacts these corporates are having after such changes. So far, the development of such newer practices has proven to be much effective than the conventional systems used before. The company that I work for is still using the conventional appraisal systems which is very complicated and time consuming.HR mangers globally have agreed that using newer technology in conducting appraisals have saved them a lot of time.
