Is your performance and management system really serving you well?

Is your performance and management system enabling or disabling conversations to happen between managers and employees?

Is your performance and management system optmising your culture? 

Truth is, many performance and management systems are not filling the needs of all of the above and are often a system that is placed by human resources in order for them to:
Track the completion rates of your performance plans.Track the development plans to link in to their learning and development.Report to the Executive on areas which are not complying.Instead of such an honourous tool, why not consider another way?

Listen in to what I have to share and let me know what you think...

Why is it that many leaders are not transparent about their culture survey results?

Why is it that conversations are not had about the responses people gave to the culture survey?

Why is it that there is no discussion on the way forward to find decent ways to change the workplace based on what the people have said?

I cover this and so much more in this solo episode.

Listen, take notes and be sure to share it with the people that need to tune in.

Leadership is a tough gig. You are not alone.

Clocking in or outcomes focused?

Here's a thought for you. Implement a results only work environment where employees are evaluated based on the work that they produce rather than that time that they have spent in the office.

Another fun fact for you, did you know that the 8 hour workday was in fact created during the industrial revolution.

And during the industrial revolution, there was a lot of factory working
and manufacturing kind of work.

So the idea about the eight hour work day was the fact that you'd work during the day for eight hours, you'd have eight hours of personal time and eight hours of sleep
long gone are those days.

So consider reviewing your workplace policy as to how many hours people should be working because really - should it not be about the results that people deliver rather than the hours that they put in?

Food for thought...
