 HOW TO COMMIT TO PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Performance management, or any appraisal process, can be a challenge to implement, and ensuring everyone is on board to make it as effective as possible presents its own difficulties.

It all starts with the managers – can they get on top of performance issues in their team, and keep their team members motivated and focused? At Polaris Learning we’ve put together a series of steps that help you to evaluate:

• Exactly what you’re measuring.
• How to get your people to undertake performance management.
• If your leaders have their own personal barriers, and how to overcome them.
• What resources they have available.
• Are the core processes working well?
• The resulting purpose of performance management.

ARE YOUR SUPERVISORS GOOD ENOUGH?

Supervisors: great on the job, but are they great leaders too? It’s a crucial skill if they’re going to get the most from their teams.

 IS YOUR COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK GATHERING DUST?

Ever promoted someone proven to be an expert in their role, only to find their leadership abilities fall disappointingly short?
Effective leadership skills need to be taught, not assumed – it’s where competency framework can play a crucial part but only if it’s made to work for your business, and doesn’t get ignored or forgotten on the shelf!

Use our competency leadership framework template to see how you could be taking advantage
of a far more effective framework that:

• Integrates within existing learning and development programmes
• Identifies training priorities and tracks and monitors progress
• Ensures your leaders know what is expected of them, and how they can advance
• Improves performances and increases competencies amongst your leaders

 HOW TO GET TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES RIGHT, FIRST TIME

Technical competency frameworks go far beyond just identifying key tasks – the right one will not only minimise risk, but also improve
the efficiency of your team and increase clarity around performance expectations too.
However, with a myriad of pitfalls standing in your way from failing to run a pilot programme to making the assessment process complex, how can you ensure yours is a success from the outset?
Our guide to getting the right technical competencies in place will give you step-by-step details on the best
approach to take, including how to:

• Map out your key requirements of the role
• Write your competencies correctly, consistently, and in a user-friendly way
• Prepare your documentation, including guidelines and information sessions
• Prepare for implementation using a sustainable process
• Identify common pitfalls so that you know how to avoid them

 BECAUSE PROMOTION WON’T GUARANTEE A LEADER

Well-qualified, talented employees; they might be right for the job, but what about their people management capabilities?
Promotion doesn’t guarantee a leader – how then, can you provide your managers with the skills and competencies necessary to lead their teams most effectively?
Successful leadership relies on accurate assessment, the right performance management, and a relevant competency framework. We’ve outlined the details on how to implement them within your business.
