What Effective Performance Management Looks Like
Modern performance management works when built on five foundations:
- Clear roles – people understand responsibilities, outcomes, and expected behaviours
- Good goals – measurable, maintainable, and aligned with the role
- Evidence-based reviews – using observed behavior, outputs, and stakeholder input
- Continuous conversations – short, frequent, future-focused check-ins
- Targeted development – plans based on real gaps with 70-20-10 activities
Bringing these together makes performance management simple and effective — reducing conflict, building trust, and improving capability across the workforce.
