Human Capital
• Be clear about the timeline in which you require the performance to improve, and how long you’ll wait before you relax monitoring.
• Meet regularly and give honest, accurate feedback about progress. Listen and amend the action plan if the employee cites credible reasons for lack of progress, but stick to your agreed timeline except in the case of exceptional cir- cumstances.
• Offer support in terms of training, mentoring, materials and guidance.
• Be kind. The majority of people want to do well at work and it can be a nightmare experience for those whose per- formance isn’t up to scratch. Genuinely wish them well and hope that they succeed.
• Be confident. You know how you want your team to work. Don’t settle for anything less, and expect great—not mediocre —results for your team.
If you manage poor performance well and manage to raise performance, then this not only instills a sense of achievement for the employee, but also gives a great message out to other staff that you are fair and tuned in. Your team members may not recognize that you’re tackling poor per- formance, but they certainly will know if it is not being addressed at all. MF
