What are effective ways to manage your time when monitoring employee performance?

SMART goals with Key Performance Indicators set up front with clear expectations is the most important. Also, frequently revisiting the goals as a manager/ employe and update accordingly to avoid any type of disappointment at the time of appraisals.

I think its helpful to have a good PMS system which is linked with the goals of employee and based on the scoreboard get updated for everyone. By that, half of the review of the goals done monthly and, in the end, very less review work to be done.

I have personally learned long time ago the instruments and approach how to be time efficient and effective in the performance management. Here let me share the crucial ones with regards to the regular check-ins: 1. To manage expectations from both sides (eg employee and line manager) one should set up 1 time per month the formal performance review with the manager or direct report/s. 2. Between the monthly performance reviews it is advisable to do the weekly catch ups which are more tactical and operational. 3. I practice as well the individual weekly 1-2-1 which are dedicated to not only the business. It is a space to reflect on the quality of collaboration either at the team or individual levels.

In my experience, I think regular check-ins on goals is the most Important as it may possible that because of lack of reviews of this goals employee suffers in the end. It's on the manager and employee's both to have schedule meetings and discuss this monthly or quarterly.

Effective time management in monitoring employee performance involves delegation and empowerment. Delegation optimizes leaders' time by assigning tasks efficiently, allowing focus on strategic activities like analysis and coaching. This strategy benefits from efficiency, skill utilization, and employee development. Empowerment, coupled with delegation, emphasizes clear communication, autonomy, and feedback, fostering a positive work environment. Together, these practices create a culture of trust and capability, enhancing individual and team performance for sustained organizational success.

In my opinion, leveraging on the power of delegation will help to manage time when monitoring employees performance. This strategy will reduce work load and increase productivity.

Digital using the sources of results and fetching the numbers from a system domains is very critical to have a time managing KPI receives. The goals formulas to be design in a way that numbers sourced from system fetched automatically. This will allow have more trust on KPI results and Taking them to Monthly /weekly Dashboards will allow to review performance at a sight and only engage with proper feedback for areas to improve. This action will certainly helps to increase accuracy and avoid any subjective judgements avoiding Appraisee and Appraisers relationship and trust alone with mutual respect.
