No matter how well you screen potential employees during the interview process, you will still undoubtedly run into employees who have a poor attitude or who fail to achieve performance standards.

Whatever their reason for poor job performance and/or attitude, you will be happy to know that there are steps you can take to improve employee performance and attitude. To make this possible, it is essential for your supervisors to undergo performance management training that involves learning more about linking individual goals to strategic goals. After all, the more your employees understand what is expected of them and how those expectations are connected to the company's "big picture," the more likely you will be to achieve the desired results.

By having your supervisors participate in a performance management training program, your managers will learn general performance management strategies, as well as strategies that are specific to your workplace. These strategies can then be translated into departmental, group and individual employee goals that tie into the overall organization's objectives.

By learning a variety of performance management techniques, such as linking individual goals to strategic goals, your managers will be able to...

Reduce workplace conflict

Increase managerial consistency

Foster increased cooperation between employees and management

Improve overall management - employee communication

Prevent emotionally charged situations from developing into arguments - or worse

Increase managerial confidence in handling employees who are failing to meet performance standards

Develop plans for handling employees who are failing to meet performance requirements

Determine when it is safe to formally discipline employees who have a negative attitude or are failing to meet performance minimums

Learn how to safely document when an employee is exhibiting a bad attitude or is failing to meet performance standards

Create a motivational work climate

Recognize warning signs during the interview process to avoid problems down the road

In short, an effective performance management training program will help you develop strategies that span from the hiring process to employee termination (when necessary).

By taking proactive steps to prevent problems from developing and implementing a clear, strategic plan after problems do develop, you will have a better chance of getting problematic employees back on track. For those employees who simply will not improve their attitudes, or who continue to fail to meet required productivity standards, the documentation generated through proper performance management will ensure your company is protected if termination becomes the necessary step.
