Our Focus

Performance Management

Performance management is a notoriously difficult process to get right and reap tangible benefits from. However, with both pragmatic and strategic approaches, the process can ultimately contribute to the bottom line of any organisation. Ensuring individuals are managed well, recognised, developed and rewarded has numerous benefits: improving retention, morale and ultimately the service your clients experience.

Key stakeholders, including HR, senior management, line managers and staff play a range of roles in performance management. Karen helps organisations explore how effectively each of these groups is contributing to the process, and how it can work more effectively.

"The focus (within performance management) must move away from measurement and judgement and towards developing understanding and building up trust to allow a genuine dialogue to take place."
Michael Armstrong and Angela Baron, Managing Performance (CIPD UK)

While there are a plethora of common issues around performance management, the appropriate solutions are often dependent on the organisation's structure, style and culture. Karen's advice and recommendations are tailored to fit the organisation and provide enduring solutions.
