The essence of
Performance Management
An effective PM system aligns individual
performance with the organisations mission,
vision and objectives.American CompensationAssociation (1996)
PM is a process for establishing shared
understanding about what is to be achieved, and
an approach to managing and developing people
in a way which increases the probability that it will
b e achieved in the short and longer
term..Armstrong (1994)

Propositions on which PM is built:
The basic aim-
1. When people know and understand what is
expected of them, and have taken part in
forming these expectations, they will use theirbest endeavours to meet them.
2. The capacity to meet expectations depends on
the levels of capability that can be achieved by
individuals and teams, the level of support they
are given by management, and the processes,
systems and resources made available to them
by the organisation.

Corporate Mission and Strategic Goals
These provide the starting point of the performance
management process. The Aim is to ensure that
each of the activities in the sequence is aligned tothose goals and contributes to their achievement.
Business and Departmental Plans and Goals
These flow directly from the Corporate Goals but
some iteration may take place so that departmental
views about what can be achieved are taken into
account before the business goals are finalised.

Performance and Dev. Agreement

on Objectives and Accountabilities. Done during formal meeting and recorded in

Action Work, Development and Support

understanding the development needed for
improvement and helping them to learn with
management support for better results.
Support should be provided on a continuousbasis through counselling, coaching with
adequate facilities and resources necessary
to meet expectations.

Marchington and Wilkinson 1996
PM requires ongoing and unsolicited support
in order to be effective, that is the telephonic
call and the or the chance conversation,just to check that all is going well, which
many busy managers tend to overlook, in
their efforts to satisfy formal organisational
requirements.

Continuous Monitoring and Feedback
It is the most important aspect of PM
It is a continuous process of managing and developing
performance standards. It should not be imposed on Managers as something
Special they have to do.
American Compensation Association 1966: Develop
PM on the basis of Open, honest, positive, two waycommunication between supervisors and employees
throughout the period.
Interim informal reviews to be held: Qtrly, Monthly etc.
8/8/2019 Copy of Performance Management 25th Oct 09
20/25
Formal Review and Feedback
Frequency to be decided based on work
needs
Occasion for providing structured feedback
and reflections.
To be based on events and observations
rather than on opinions. To be limited to period under consideration.
There must be an element of self
assessment.

Overall Performance Rating
Whenever a PLI is involved a Rating is a MUST.
Arguments in favour of Ratings:
1. A PLI can not be paid without a rating.
2. Convenient means of summing up review and
separating low and high performers.
3. Can provide a basis for prediction in future role.This is highly dubious. Past future.
4. They let people know where they stand, atleast
in the eyes of their managers.
8/8/2019 Copy of Performance Management 25th Oct 09
23/25
Arguments against Ratings:
It may be unjustifiable to sum up performance with singledigit. System factors are beyond the control of individuals.
Consistency between raters are difficult to achieve.
May be based on subjective judge-ments.
Managers may find it difficult to answer What do I have todo to get higher Rating
Rating encourages Manager to be dishonest. Central
Tendency in Rating or they decide what they want on PLIand then rate their team.
Tends to get into Top-Down judge-mental exercise.
8/8/2019 Copy of Performance Management 25th Oct 09
24/25
Arguments against Ratings:
The positive developmental aspects of the review may be
overshadowed by he knowledge that the end product will
be a rating that will inform a pay decision. In practice, thereview and the preparation for it may be dominated by its
pay implications, destroying its main purpose.
To label people with a number or letter is both demeaning
and demotivating.
Ratings convey opinions about the past performance and
do not indicate anything about future.
It makes people Impression Managers and people get
into managing impressions than getting on with their work
