Does it really matter what time your employees come to work if you are measuring them on performance

‘What’s the one thing you’d change about the world of work?’
Training is not a report or an activity suggested by your HR., department or even a strategy to effect culture or change... You talk about the importance of measuring your employees by performance and yet you keep stressing about what time your employees get to work...
If you want your employees to perform, stop measuring them on things that have nothing to do with performance...
If you are really interested in increasing performance, then consider talking to us about developing your employees and stop measuring your employees with Myers-Briggs Type Indicators and other psychrometric?measures; they just put people in boxes and wrongly categorize your teams and individuals - have you ever felt boxed in? Stop alienating your people, invite them in from the cold, warm them up and let them help you instead of sabotaging everything you do...
Get to know your employees, they just might surprise you... they actually know more than you think they do and have the ability to do more than you are currently asking or expecting them to do... The truth is, they do just enough to get paid every week (just enough to keep their jobs). Your employees actually want to do more; all you have to do is stop managing them with fear and remove the restrictive HR. policies that keep your employees boxed in...
Give them a reason to do more than just turn up on time...
Take a risk - Ask, listen and be willing to do something about it, stop rewarding your managers, RATHER REWARD THE PEOPLE THAT DO THE WORK...
When you fail to hear their perspective, the process will inevitably be more difficult than it should be. When people know there’s a better way to do something, they will either complete it your way and be frustrated, complete it their own way and frustrate you, or not do it at all. Take the time to ask, listen and be open to improving processes.
We don't have a price, because we are not trying to sell you anything, rather, when we turn up, we are focused on engaging your employees and helping them do the work you expect them to do... We work within your budget, every client pays us according to what they can afford; really it's that simple...

By taking the time to identify the true cause of performance issues, you will be able to support your organization’s efforts to create positive change, and your training program will develop a reputation for solving problems and improving employee performance.
The next time you hear “I think our employees need some training on that topic,” have the courage to educate others about the difference between training issues and performance issues. Share your vision for identifying, developing and delivering solutions that work.
If you really want to measure your employees by performance, then please get in contact and allows us to partner with your teams...
We look forward to hearing from you,

3 年So many years ago, too many to recall I developed a program known as OPT *Optional personal time. This was to balance the needs of the organisation with the needs of its employees. It is fairly simple in that there was a 2 hour band each morning and evening in which the employ ee could arrive for work, meetings were restricted to times within the @work@ time. Naturally performance review was ongoing and we found that some abused th system however their collogues brought them into line rather than management. The rules must be clear and agreed by all. It worked, lost time reduced 75% and employees embraced the program...yes its a development on flex time but it really works but not for strict production line work.

6 年A nice new way to be rude! 1) Post something 2) Send random invites to strangers 3) When the kindly ask you to provide where we know one another before accepting this rude random link request - you tell them you are not interested. I am now looking for a 'block' option for the first time since LinkedIn started... just because of Kurt.
