Performance Management Consulting

We can develop and implement a robust performance management system to help your company achieve success with performance planning, review and evaluation.

OVERVIEW

Your Performance Management Consultants

Effective performance management programs are a key lever in driving success and development in contemporary organisations. Inspiring employee performance, productivity and participation can be complex and time-consuming if it is not established and rolled out correctly.

Businesses that invest in a performance management program observe higher levels of employee engagement and employee performance as well as a greater ability to retain talent they want to keep. Well-developed performance management processes can also improve workplace culture indicators whilst also facilitating leadership development and career progression opportunities for employees. Addressing each of these elements is crucial when designing performance managerial systems that add value.

At CPO HR we offer performance management consulting services that enables you to best support and develop your people. We assist our clients with achieving ideal performance in their top talent, and stretch goals and can partner with your in-house HR advisors and consultants to

Performance management requires careful design, consultation, feedback and communication prior to implementation. We prioritise your strategic vision into our process methodology so your performance framework is aligned to key result areas.

SERVICES

Our Performance Management Services

Performance Management Policy Review & Development

CPO HR services can create a new policy statement for you or rework any existing performance management policy material. We take particular care to ensure that your policy items are fit for purpose, reflective of best practice and aligned to applicable EBA terms. We also support our clients by incorporating consultative feedback from employee engagement survey initiatives into policy preparation and strategy.

Coaching and Education

We provide performance management coaching, education, and training workshops for your business or your HR team. In addition to our consulting services, we partner with business leaders and key stakeholders to coach on the industry best practice skills for managing performance. We also offer coaching on specific performance counselling cases (formal and informal) where required.

Performance Improvement Planning (PIP)

This useful HR intervention can bridge the gap between current performance and minimum standards of output required. A PIP details objectives to be achieved, measures (indicators) to demonstrate progress and timeframes for delivery. Well drafted PIPs also set out how an employee is to be appropriately supported throughout. We guide our clients during the entire PIP process including support with diagnosing the performance shortfall, drafting, communication, implementation and the steps required to conclude the PIP. Our PIP training and coaching sessions are amongst our most popular HR service offerings.

Disciplinary Processes

If it is appropriate to transition from a PIP to a disciplinary process, we can support you every step of the way. From drafting a written notice to attend an interview to preparing disciplinary outcome letters (ie: warning and/or final warning), we can also draft show-cause letters and where necessary, advise you on termination of employment. Our approach to disciplinary interventions is grounded in mitigating industrial risk together with sound HR administration.

What is the difference between a disciplinary process and a formal counselling process?

The disciplinary process will include an outcome (such as a warning or final warning). Formal counselling advice can inform an individual that disciplinary processes may be enacted next time.

If you are seeking HR advice to determine which process suits your circumstances, contact us and we can provide you with qualified HR advice.

When should I put a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) in place?

A performance improvement plan (PIP) is an HR intervention that details required levels of minimum performance and output that need to be demonstrated and achieved within a given period. A PIP is often used as a supportive activity designed to address an identified performance shortfall or gap. PIPs usually set out any additional support that the employer will provide to help an employee achieve the required level of satisfactory performance.

In the best case, the employee will demonstrate the required level of satisfactory performance and improvement and return to regular supervision at the end of the PIP period (usually 3 months). In other cases, the PIP may be extended for an additional period necessary for the employee to demonstrate a satisfactory improvement. If the employee’s performance continues to fall short of expectations, then disciplinary processes may be enacted.
