Download or read book Performance Management Success written by Anthony L. Barth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides managers, leaders and practitioners with a dynamic framework that links several variables associated with performance management which can be applied across organizations and industries worldwide. Based on empirical evidence and experiences, this book provides a critical understanding of the interrelationship of organizational culture with performance management process (PMP) planning and implementation. The elements of the framework are approached from a macro-level-view and are balanced with conciseness and realism based on applied success studies, making this book a valuable educational, training and development resource tool for leaders and managers at all levels. The topic of performance in organizations is like the weather—everyone likes to talk about it, but few understand what is truly happening—or understand why? Individuals and organizations are no different when it comes to performance, regardless of performance level of focus: individual, team, unit, or organization-wide. Teams and organizations often miss opportunities to not only improve performance, but also leverage and sustain high performance. Organizational performance, organizational culture and organizational success are interrelated and should reinforce one another. This can be achieved through an effective performance management process (PMP) that lives, functions and thrives at multiple levels within institutions. This book will help organizations and institutions achieve performance management success by identifying comment elements, along with some patterned variation, that are applicable to a successful PMP. Featuring hands-on resource reference tools for immediate use and application, this book is useful for leaders, managers, scholars, students and policy makers in management, leadership, and organizational culture.

Download or read book Ultimate Performance written by Nicholas C. Burkholder and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-07-20 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meeting the challenges of high-performance HR Until 1760 ships routinely disappeared, ran aground, or sank because seafarers could not measure longitude. The cost in life and property was immense. Today, business faces a similar challenge, as the failure to measure human resources performance is just as costly and deadly to modern organizations. Senior executives once considered HR a "soft," unavoidable cost of doing business, responsible for compensation, employee transactions, company functions, workforce problems, and legal issues. Three factors changed this perception: the significant impact of high-performance HR, the implications of poorly performing HR, and soaring HR operating expenses. These factors have led to an increased demand and focus on HR metrics. Ultimate Performance approaches this challenge by providing clear, proven measurement solutions that will optimize the performance of people and businesses.

Download or read book Finally written by Roger Ferguson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-01-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admit it, we all hate annual performance appraisals, and with good reason. - Over 85% of companies say that their current performance management processes are only "moderately effective." - Only 50% of employees believe that their managers provide them with honest feedback that actually improves their job performance. - Managers spend, on average, 400 hours per year on the process! The return-on-investment for that time is very low. Most participate in the process "because the Human Resources department requires it." So why do we continue, year after year, with this outdated, tedious, and questionable process? Probably because we have not had any better alternative... until now! Roger Ferguson, a human resources and operations professional with more than thirty years of experience in Fortune 500 companies, has created Big Five Performance Management, a commonsense alternative. Big Five creates better accountability than traditional annual performance appraisal, requires less time, and is actually embraced by managers and their employees. Big Five is born from the sales culture where it is said that good salespeople are "born on Monday and die on Friday." That means that good salespeople are 100 percent accountable for positive, documented, successful efforts on a weekly basis, creating a culture of ongoing accountability and demonstrated performance. Human Resources can learn a lot from sales; Big Five tells us how. This innovative process, tested in multiple corporate environments for the past fifteen years, is presented here for the first time in a conversational, easy-to-read style, and is not just limited to human resources professionals or upper-level management. It is for the rank-and-file employee who may not know how to prioritize their work; calculate the value they bring to their organization; or communicate that value to their management. It is for frontline supervisors and managers who struggle to effectively align the efforts of their team members; are not always comfortable with confrontation when coaching employees; and dread the thought of having to prepare one more round of annual performance appraisals. It is for companies and organizations looking to build a more effective, accountable, and inspired workplace by improving processes and eliminating waste. Finally, performance assessment that works! "Big Five is the coolest thing to hit Human Resources since Covey and his Seven Habits!" -Doug Thorpe, Solomon-Edwards "The best 100 pages you will ever read on the subject of performance appraisal! Big Five is an absolute game-changer." - Rick Gillis- Author, Consultant, Speaker ""I installed Big Five in our business and was amazed at how quickly our team embraced it. Big Five provides us with focus, prioritization of our work load, and accountability which are critical to the performance of the team and helps us manage our business more effectively. With this approach the time spent on the old process is no longer wasted!" -Cathy Penland, General Manager, Houston home builder
