Performance Management

Performance appraisal systems have consistently been a source of frustration for both managers and employees. A quality performance management system allows managers to work with employees to plan, monitor, and execute desired results, and can be an important tool in improving individual or team performance. These performance improvements result in enhanced unit and organizational performance.

AIR’s approach links individual performance plans to the goals of the unit and organization. This approach creates a shared vision that maximizes organizational success. We help organizations develop and implement performance management systems that:

  • Document job responsibilities
  • Define performance expectations
  • Identify competencies and behaviors
  • Provide a framework for discussions, coaching, and mentoring
  • Align individual performance expectations with organizational goals
