3.1 Assessing Different approaches to performance management

In order to maximise people professionals value in an organisation and harness their relations, HR function ensures they implement performance management. According to CIPD (2020c), through performance management, a maximisation of value creation is achieved while making sure employees contribute to organisation strategic goals.

There is no one-size fits all strategy applicable in performance management in modern organisations. The lack of a single best strategy leads to organisations being demanded to come up with a strategy to note on the context and real (expected) organisation culture. In successful implementation,  having a flexible system is core to account for the different team strategies or organisation functions.

Further, according to CIPD (2021a), performance management is regarded as a continuous cycle contrary to a one distinct occurrence. Due to the inclusion of performance management in integration of a set of HR strategies, an acceptable structure/framework is instrumental for all stakeholders collaborative operations (see figure 11);

Figure 11: Performance Management Phases

For this performance management approach, a set of strategic goals need to be anchored on the different departmental functions. From this, an agreement on the personal employees performance and prioritising on their capacity development. At a later phase, people and the management could establish sustainable plans and monitor performance with consistency. A prompt feedback and consistent review is pursued as opposed to pursuing regular and annual formalised performance review, goal setting, project plan and coaching and mentoring strategies.
