Effective Performance Management – PAST EVENT

There have been longstanding concerns about the level of UK labour productivity. A report published by the House of Commons Library last week revealed that in 2022, the UK came fourth highest in terms of productivity out of the G7 countries. However, UK productivity was 13% below the USA and Germany and 10% below France.

In these challenging economic times, getting the best out of your staff and managing performance concerns promptly is a priority for many employers. But it’s not always straightforward. Getting ‘performance management’ wrong can result in grievances being raised or in the worst case scenario, Employment Tribunal claims.

In our webinar, Employment Partners Rajiv Joshi and Paula Kathrens, and Senior Associate Madeleine Mould discussed:

• The reasons why some individuals fail to perform to the best of their ability and the implications for the organisation.
• Why many employers fail to manage performance effectively and discuss some practical tips to redress this.
• What constitutes a ‘capability’ dismissal.
• The steps to take when tricky issues arise, such as grievances, or where sickness/disability related issues are involved.
• The impact of remote working on productivity, and the particular challenges of addressing poor performance remotely.
• The impact that an organisation’s training strategies and recruitment practices can have on performance.
