Succeed with performance reviews

On HR solutions we have previously reported that the majority of respondents in a survey did not feel that they got anything out of the annual performance review. One of the reasons for this is that many managers forget to follow up on the things that were agreed at the meeting.

It's usually not out of reluctance that managers forget to follow up on the agreements. Rather, it's often because the manager can't keep track of all the SDD conversations as they just end up in a pile of paperwork. That's why we have developed HRM-Nordic MUS, som er et effektivt redskab til at styre alle former for MUS samtaler.

Stay on top of things with an online performance appraisal system

With an online SDD system, you can be sure that you always have your data at your fingertips. HRM-Nordic SDD is also designed to help you keep track of deadlines - and you'll be reminded of your deadlines on a regular basis.

Some of the benefits of using an online performance appraisal system are:

• You can build your own performance review templates
• You can set deadlines - and you'll receive reminders so you never miss a deadline
• You can follow the process of how far your employees are in completing the preparation form
• You can set reminders for your appointments so that the employee also feels that the performance review is being followed up on
• The data is associated with the employee card in employee database

Remember to follow up on performance reviews

For your performance reviews to be a success, it's important that you follow up on the agreements made. If you don't, your employees will quickly get the feeling that the conversation was a waste of time because he/she doesn't attend the agreed courses, but instead just carries on with the same old routine.

The performance review is there for the employee to develop, and employee development can be crucial to whether your employees stay with you. Remember that the performance review is not only about professional development, but also about personal development. And not least about the employee's well-being in the workplace.

The difficult conversation: The employee performance review (MAS)

There can be a number of different reasons why one or more employees in the workplace need to be made redundant. For you as a manager, it's never an easy conversation to have, but it's a necessity that should be handled professionally.

If the layoffs come as a result of downsizing, it will be your responsibility as a manager to make the decision on which employees to lay off.

Just as with an SDD interview, you as a manager should prepare for a MAS interview. As a manager, you will be in control of the conversation, and with preparation, you are ready to handle the situation if there is silence or the employee reacts to their resignation.

In the same way that you can use a HR system to create templates for performance reviews, you can also use your HR system to manage employee performance management.

When an employee is informed of their resignation, there is a wide range of reactions. Some may need a little time to think about it, while others react more aggressively. In some cases, it can be beneficial to set up a meeting at a later date where the employee can ask questions or where you can discuss the practicalities.

Here you will again benefit from your HR system, where you can enter your appointments into the system and both of you will receive a reminder of your appointments ahead of a possible upcoming meeting.

HR system: An important asset in your business

An HR system can be an important asset to your business. An HR system can facilitate a number of administrative processes in your company. Especially when it comes to performance appraisal interviews, it can be an advantage as you can automate the processes of convening, preparing and following up.
