Adapt Performance Management for Teams
Align the existing performance management framework with how employees work to boost the productivity, performance, and engagement of teams.
Onsite Workshop
Misaligned performance management leads to:
- Misalignment between how work is carried out and how it’s managed.
- A lack of incentives that reward team performance, collaboration, and trust.
- Disengaged employees who do not understand their roles’ contribution to the organization.
Aligned team-based performance management drives:
- Higher productivity compared to teams that only use individual objectives.
- Reduced internal competition by providing team-based compensation and rewards.
- Increased accountability and ownership over performance goals and organizational impact.
