Missed A Motivator

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Performance management was bound up in the developing ethos of performance related pay (PRP). The prevailing wisdom was to fix behavior to targets and to attach financial rewards to these. There was a preoccupation with defining measures that could be attached to individual rewards, and the connection with organizational performance was often tenuous.

Performance management covers a raft of cultural, communications, and development issues, which may or may not lend themselves to measurement. For sales staff, it might performance related pay for proffesionals, it might mean a system of development unrelated to incentive pay.

Performance management system is a systematic approach to improving individual  and team performance in order to achieve organizational goals. The approach that is taken should depend on the organization; its culture, its relationship with employees and the types of job.

The Strategic Remuneration Research Centre (SRRC) found that a performance management diagnostic designed to help firms in thinking systematically through the issues involved in developing a new approach to performance management, or in changing aspects of existing reward systems that have a bearing on performance.

Performance management is not then just a narrow question of motivation; it has an effect on an organization’s culture and subcultures. This means that anyone designing and implementing a system must talk to their assumptions and values, plus those of the people it targets.

Don’t be afraid to make big changes in your life. The people who do something about it are the ones who wind up being happy in the end. When you find yourself frustrated with how things are going, you might really be craving that big change in your life. Get out of that comfort zone and make it happen!

Make yourself a priority. Put your needs first in line for once. Everyone will benefit with your new found happiness. You will make better decisions, make more money, and just feel better. You will even make yourself more attractive for relationships as well.

Why keep going through life constantly unfulfilled when you could instead make some changes that could bring you everything that you want? You don’t want to be your own worst enemy. Unfortunately most people are. They dream of a better life but they never actually get around to it.
