Managers working in today's organisations often focus more on results than on the people who achieve those results. But regularly evaluating the performance of your employees is critical to improving the efficiency and output of your organisation. Companies today are looking for the key characteristics, known as competencies, that help the most successful people in their field to be so successful. Managers and employees need to focus on those competencies, especially during performance review discussions. COMPETENCY-BASED PERFORMANCE REVIEWS offers you a new and more effective way to handle performance reviews and to coach your employees to emphasise the knowledge, skills and abilities that they have and the organisation needs. Most sophisticated employers are using competency-based systems to select, interview and evaluate the performance of employees. This book will give you the guidance you need to: * Perform competency-based reviews on your employees. * Help your team get the recognition they deserve in division meetings by providing the evidence to justify higher performance rankings. * Develop your own competencies - and those of your employees. * Coach employees to recognise competency-based accomplishments and advocate for themselves throughout the year * Write smarter, targeted competency-based accomplishment statements to use on performance review forms.
