It is tied to the operating success of the company, providing a framework on which bonuses, pay rises, and salary reviews are based, and this in turn directly impacts staffing costs. Having a clear performance management plan for each employee provides a transparent framework for every staff member to know how well they have performed, where they can improve, which areas they need further training and professional development in – and how the company will support (and reward) them to grow and develop in their career.
