Performance Appraisals & Management

McKenzie Consulting are not only recruitment consultants who will find you the most talented candidate for a job, we are also able to take on your entire human resources management function aiming to provide your staff with ongoing feedback, assessment and mentoring. Performance appraisals can play a critical role in finding out about your employees, if executed correctly. Unlike initial psychometric testing to learn about an employee's work style and motivators, performance appraisals are an ongoing process of dialogue between the employee and manager about performance, helping you to set achievable and measurable goals.

Performance Appraisals - The Process

At their most basic level, performance appraisals begin with a manager and employee setting goals for the quarter and year ahead. The most effective goals are those that are measurable and have easy to understand performance standards. The employee then self discovers the actions that are needed to meet the goal and what indicators will be used to see if they are on track to meeting their goals.

Performance appraisals rely on regular informal feedback by the manager to their employee, as well as more formal quarterly meetings where performance is reviewed. At the end of each financial year, a formal meeting is held to review performance over the past year. Many organisations reward their staff based on performance and find that a performance appraisal is a key measurement tool.

McKenzie Consulting - Performance Appraisals & Management

McKenzie Consulting has identified a number of ways to monitor performance within an organisation. We can use performance appraisals to help identify high achieving staff who have the potential to grow their talents. From discussions with senior management, we will make recommendations to set performance indicators that support overall business goals and stretch and challenge individuals within the company.

Our performance management program extends from senior management to every member of staff. McKenzie Consulting always keeps the enterprise business goals in mind with every recommendation. When your staff are motivated and challenged it is well known that their performance will improve.
