Development
of employee skills, knowledge and experience is essential in today's
rapidly changing workplace.
In
order for the organization to remain competitive and to retain its reputation
for excellence, employees should have up-to-the-minute information and
the ability to use new technologies, adapt to organizational change,
work in flatter organizations in which cross-functional skills and knowledge
are required, and work effectively in teams and other collaborative
situations.
Employees,
too, recognize that it is essential for them to continue to learn so
that they will be effective in their current jobs and able to move into
other positions or accept new responsibilities as circumstances demand.
Developing
and managing employee performance is an integral process within today's
progressive organizations. In addition to supporting the mission of
an organization, performance management enhances the overall quality
of the workforce within the organization. The Burke Group's performance
management consultants work with individuals to:
- enhance
job- or career-related skills, knowledge and experience;
- help
sustain employee performance at a level which meets or exceeds expectations;
- promote
a climate of continuous learning and professional growth;
- enable
employees to keep abreast of changes in their fields;
- make
employees competitive for employment opportunities within the organization;
and
- motivate
employees.
Performance
development plans may be considered at each stage of the performance
management process.
The
performance management process has an objective to develop employees'
work-related skills, knowledge and experience. The development process
offers another opportunity for the employee to work collaboratively
with both Human Resources and their specific departments to improve
or build on his or her performance and to contribute to organizational
effectiveness.
