In this assignment I will be writing about the importance of measuring and managing employeeperformance at work.
If performance management did not take place employers will not know whats wrong with their
employees because they could have problems that is causing them not to do their job well and if they do
not know what is wrong with their employees they can not fix it which means employees will continue to
do their job badly which slow progress for the business for example if a till worker at ASDA is being very
slow maybe because they are not happy with their role this will make tem serve customers slower and
customers may leave and this is a loss of profit for the business and since the problem is not sorted the
employee still has un sorted issues.
Also measuring and managing employees will allow the business to know the strengths and weaknesses
of their employees and see if it is common amongst all the employees, then the business will be able
send all the employees for training or which will help them improve. However if a business does not
measure their employees performance it does not mean the employees are doing their job badly
however it helps the business make sure everything is running how it is meant to. If an employee is
always being monitored they may feel less motivated to do their job well as they do not feel trusted
which means the business needs to do less monitoring and have trust in their employees.
The importance of measuring and managing employees performance is that the employer will be able to
make sure they are doing their job correctly all the time for example the supervisor may be giving
employees which they do not like bad feedback even though they are doing their job well. This means
employees need to be monitored in order for them to do their job correctly. If performance
management and measuring did not take place employers will not know if employees are doing their job
well which is bad for the business as there’s not productivity and the consequences for the business in
this case is that employees may leave due to always receiving bad feedback when they are doing well
and the consequences for employees is that it is unfair because if they are doing their job well they
deserve good feedback not bad feedback.
Measuring and managing performance is important because If an employer is finding it difficult to get
employees to come into work all the time, the problem may be that the employees do not have anyone
to talk to which means they may need a mentor and also the manager may not be doing their job well if
employees are not coming in often and they haven’t sorted it out which means they employer may need
professional development to learn how to do their job better and deal with employees.If performance
management and measuring did not take place in this case managers will be doing their job wrongly not
knowing they may need professional development in order for employees to be coming into work often
or the employees may not be coming into work because they need a mentor to help them improve
however if theres no management and performance the business will not be aware of what is going on.
Measuring and managing performance is important because it gives the employees an opportunity to try
new job roles and learn new skills which will benefit the business because if an employee is seen to be
doing their current job badly the employer and the employee can decide that it is right for them to try
another job role for example a slow shelf stacker may be good at till work and a slow till worker may be a
