Poor Excuses for Avoiding Performance Management
HELP YOUR EMPLOYEES SUCCEED
|
Do you avoid managing the performance of your staff?
You are a busy person. You have budgets to balance, services to provide, and constituents to satisfy. There is always a meeting to attend or a deadline to meet. And while the day-to-day business of providing public services is always calling, there are also employees who are looking to you for direction, guidance, feedback, and recognition. And for some, the management of employee performance is low on the list of priorities.
We have many reasons for avoiding our employee performance management duties. And usually the excuses are pretty weak. Here are four of the most common excuses for not managing employee performance and why they don't hold water.
