IMPLEMENTING A PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FMA Webinar Presented by: Mark Ernst, President Ernst Enterprises, LLC April 16, 2010
Magic Bullets? Business owners and managers are always looking for that “magic bullet”… the one-thing that is easy to do that will improve employee performance and productivity. In their search for that “one-thing,” owners typically invest in newer and faster equipment or look for some new employee motivation program but forget about the basics of people management. Formula for Success Expectations + Feedback + (+/-)Consequences = Results
AGENDA • Assessment. Identify the current method of assessing performance. • Determine why you want to implement a formal performance management program. • The pro’s and con’s of a formal performance management program. • Challenges to implementing a formal performance management program. • Strategies to overcome the challenges. • Managerial skills necessary for success. • Sample forms to help get you started. • 10 steps to implementing a performance management program. • Summary
Summary • Implementing a performance management system can bring significant benefits to your organization. • The challenges to implementing a PM program are primarily with management. • Don’t buy an “off the shelf” evaluation form and think you have a performance management program. • A poorly implemented program is worse than no program. • Don’t implement a plan you don’t intend to follow. • Manager training is essential for success.
