Performance management: come stanno cambiando le metriche di valutazione dei dipendenti
Performance Management is an ongoing process of identifying, measuring, and developing the performance of the employees in the organization. The objective is to direct employees’ efforts towards achieving the business goals.

Organizations invest a significant amount of time and money in Performance Management activities as this process helps people reach goals faster, thanks to constant updating between supervisor and employee.

The fact is that, to date, traditional Performance Management systems are the subject of discussion because they present problems and limitations that slow down the evolution of the company’s performance evaluation logic.

This phenomenon is also due to the pandemic, which has meant constant change for managers, as they had to learn to manage teams that worked remotely 5 days a week for the first time. Indeed, today, remote and hybrid working models have become the norm, ensuring agility and flexibility.

Managers typically receive feedback from their people. However, their feedback doesn’t get incorporated into the annual performance appraisal. That’s why companies must understand its importance and allow its effectiveness, facilitating its regular transmission in real-time and making the long and short-term objectives clear; this will make people feel more engaged and motivated.

Today, more than ever, human resources and managers are reference points for people within organizations.

Working from anywhere in the world has become easy, and this trend has increased enormously in the last two years, further fueling the phenomenon known as “Great Resignation”. People have reassessed their priorities: salary is no longer the only predominant factor when evaluating whether or not to leave the workplace but the well-being of people. They value other aspects, like the opportunity to work remotely, a better balance between their private and working life, and a good relationship with their manager. For this reason, it is crucial to engage in regular conversations with your team and try to understand what motivates your people.
