                                    Employees in Performance Management

A well designed performance management system should allow employees to assist each other in improving performance, maintaining standards and meeting organizational objectives.

                        Link employee activities with organizational goals

The most appropriate way to create such a system is to link the activities of all employees with the goals of the organization. A performance management system should evaluate all the employees and their activities (Noe et al, 359). Since they are the ones implementing organizational goals, linking their activities will enable employees to identify their own performances and those of their colleagues. This will allow employees to help each other to align with the organizational goals, because their activities all linked with those of the organization.

                        Engaging employees in system formulation

Engaging employees in the formulation of a performance management system will give them knowhow of evaluating their performance. This way, employees can identify organizational objectives. The use of objective promotes a result-based working system, where each employee understands his or her role and also the roles of the others (Noe 371). Therefore, when they notice changes in performance, they can help each other to maintain the recommended performance. They can assist each other by correcting any errors or suggest improvements in their processes and practices.

                                    Effective feedback system

The performance management system should be created to allow employees to give feedback to the management and to their own colleagues. This will help them to go beyond their call of duty and provide information about the organizational performance, employees’ activities and the management practice. The feedback from the employees will help the management to identify the causes of any problems in the organization, on both the employee side and the management side (Noe 369). This will give a chance for employees to engage in the performance management process by assisting others towards the achievement of the organizational objectives.
