Poor performance was raised as an issue in 9 out of 10 disciplinary hearings*
Acas, the employment relations service, has today released new guidance to help businesses develop an engaged and productive workforce through effective performance management. Good performance management helps employers achieve:

•Their business objectives
•Clear transparent communication with employees, making for a more productive and structured workplace


From an employee perspective, the benefits of good performance management include:

•A clear understanding of where they fit into the business
•Their role in achieving the business's objectives through a greater understanding of the skills and competences needed to fulfil their role
The new Acas guide, 'How to manage performance', provides advice on how businesses can set objectives with their employees including drawing up an effective personal development plan. Managing performance gives employers the opportunity to check that their employees know the business and are working to their best ability and when there are problems what to do about them.
