Measuring employee performance
What is employee performance?
The job related activities expected of a worker and how well those activities were executed. Many
business personnel directors assess the employee performance of each staff member on an annual
or quarterly basis in order to help them identify suggested areas for improvement.
What influences employee performance?
There are many influences which has an effect on the employee performance and these are the
working condition, motivation, wellbeing, stress and personal issue. If the working condition of the
workplace is good this will have a great effect on the employee so they will know that the working
condition is safe and protected and this will enable them to work better with full attention and
passion, whereas if the working condition is not good this will have a great effect on their work ethic
as this will slow down the workers due to the unsafe working conditions. Another influence is
motivation and this has a great effect on the employee because if the manager or a boss motivate
their employees with incentives, feedback or any other good factors this will allow them to work
much more hard in order to increase the product and quality rate, whereas if the motivation is not
there in the employee this will slow down the process of the business. Lastly personal issue is a great
influence on the employee performance because if an employee has experienced something terrible
at home, he/she may not achieve to work at the optimal level at the workplace due to the issues at
home.
Why is it important to measure the performance of employees?
The reason why it is important to measure the performance of employees because the business will
know how well they employees are doing in the business by looking at each performance of the
employee sales and the manager can give constructive feedback on what to improve within their
performance In the business. Furthermore the performance of the employee can hint many factors
behind the employee, for example if the employee is performing bad this may be lack of motivation,
skills or incentives and this can be beneficial for the business as they have room to help the
employee to improve.
