COMMUNICATE ON A REGULAR BASIS
|
Did you and your employees set goals at the beginning of the year?
Were you diligent about setting clear expectations? Good for you! Now let's address the inevitable: your expectations will change.
We know that a clear performance plan helps employees have direction and purpose in their work. When they know what success looks like, they can be independent and productive. However, the reality is that our organizations are changing constantly. New priorities, new information, new leaders, new economic conditions, new competitive influences. . . these and many more factors may render the employee's initial goals irrelevant by the time you sit down to evaluate the their progress.
These shifts lead to an obvious conclusion: the employee's goals must adapt throughout the rating period. If you and the employee are not revisiting their performance plan on a regular basis, the employee will certainly lose focus and be left wondering, "What am I supposed to do now?" Follow these steps to make sure your performance expectations change with the times:
