The principal of performance management is not just a system of forms and procedures.  It is about aligning the organizational objectives with the employees’ agreed to objectives, skills, competency requirements, development plans and the delivery of results by managing the performance improvements. The emphasis is on improvement, learning and development of employees to achieve the overall business strategy and to create a high-performance workforce.

Unify Employee Performance takes emphasis off of the form-driven annual performance review cycle and focuses on three areas where employees want to be valued:

• Job Design:  Decision-making and autonomy are key areas for improving employee engagement. Push decisions down to the lowest level of the organization, highlight the challenges, and get employees involved through greater responsibility.

• Employee/Team Development:  Engage employees in the success of the business.  What adds value to the enterprise, why does it matter, and who is responsible for performance to fulfill the goals?  Focus recognition on value added activity and results versus efforts or performance of normal job duties.

• Management:  Management and team leaders aligned with and fully supportive of the job design and employee development practices.
