Basics of Managing Employees

By pat, No Comments
 

I know that people learn through different modalities.  I’ve been writing about coaching and counseling of employees and helping managers handle the day-to-day operations of working with team members.  I thought I would try a different venue to share information around managing employees.

I found this video on UTube that offers guidance on the basic issues that supervisors/managers face in managing employees.  Though the title focuses on the new supervisor, it covers a lot of material that is great for a more seasoned manager.

The video covers S.M.A.R.T goals, coaching and counseling employees, new managers, motivating employees and other thoughts on managing employees.  

3 Different Types of Employee Goals

Ok…it’s been awhile since I’ve created a post…I’ve been on vacation in “not so warm” Florida.   Since my post today is about goals, I have to share that I have a goal to go on two vacations a year.  

When I go on vacation, I leave behind my work.   Unless there is a true emergency, I use this time to think, play and surround myself with new interests to build up my creative juices.  I then come back and take time to think about my goals.  It’s important to regularly review where you are with your personal goals.  Remember, work is one part of your life.

Happy New Year!  

My wish for you this year is a strong working relationship based on mutual respect between you and your employees.

Creating Employee Goals

The business goals are in place and now it’s time to align your employee’s goals to the business. 

Most businesses have two parts to their performance management systems…evaluation of last’s year’s performance and creation of this year’s goal(s)…employee deliverables.  I would suggest that you use “deliverables” to your employees as it’s clearer regarding what is expected of them…to deliver.  

Tips for Effective Performance Reviews

Are you comfortable giving feedback to your employees?   My experience has been that managers are not skilled at giving effective feedback to their staff. 

I’ve been in the same situation…not sure how to share my evaluation in a way that keeps them motivated…and still set the stage for change.   It’s easy when the employee is a star performer, but what about the “average” or “under performing” employee.  How do you provide feedback that offers solutions to their growth as well as meet the department’s requirements.

That Time of the Year…Again!…Performance Reviews

By pat, 1 Comment
 

The year is ending and most companies are evaluating the year’s results and ramping up for the new year…new business plans and new budgets.  The new year is also a time when many companies start organizing their yearly performance review process.  

As a HR professional, I’ve heard the groans whenever I mention “performance reviews” and I do understand.  The yearly, or in some companies twice a year, performance reviews take a lot of time.   Since most companies have some form of performance review process, you have to ask what is gained by their yearly ritual.
