Frequently Asked Questions
What is performance management?
Performance management is an ongoing process that incorporates planning, assessing, and reviewing employee performance in an organization. It ensures that employees stay aligned with the organizational goals and perform better in their respective roles.
What is a performance management system?
A performance management system (PMS) refers to the technology used to effectively plan, monitor, evaluate, and review the performance of employees in an organization.
A good performance management system helps employees achieve their organizational objectives and perform better by setting SMART goals, reviewing progress and providing constructive feedback, assessing performance consistently, recognizing and rewarding talent, and accurately gathering overall performance data to make informed decisions with comprehensive reports.
Why is PMS important for every organization?
Implementing a performance management system benefits organizations in several ways.
- A well-defined PMS clearly defines the goals and objectives for every employee. This clarity provides employees with direction on what is expected of them and how to achieve their goals, leading to increased productivity and efficiency.
- Incorporate a wide variety of performance metrics like KPIs, OKRs, 360-degree feedback, and self-assessments to efficiently evaluate every aspect of an individual's performance.
- Keep your employees engaged and motivated with objective evaluations and timely feedback.
- Get rich insights on employee performances with data-driven reports. Managers can use this information to identify employee strengths, track progress, and curate development plans.
What is the 9-box matrix?
The 9-box matrix, also referred to as a 9-box grid, is a talent management tool used to analyze employees' performance and potential. Using a 3x3 grid, the horizontal axis (X-axis) represents performance, and the vertical axis (Y-axis) represents potential.
Typically used for succession planning, managers use the 9-box matrix to identify the top performers deserving of promotions and employees who need additional support to perform well in their roles.
