IDENTIFYING UNDER-PERFORMANCE

IDENTIFYING UNDER-PERFORMANCE


?

In any organization, generally there are 5 to 10% performers who are outstanding.

80 to 90% performers are good performers- a thin line often separating their performance from one another.

Then there are the underperformers – generally 5 to 10% who are not able to perform in a particular assessment period- for varied reasons. In this article I have tried to capture some of the most common reasons for employee underperformance:-

  1. Assigned a role not aligned to his skill-set
  2. ?Under skilled to perform any role commensurate to CTC
  3. Having physical or mental health issues rendering him/her unfit to deliver
  4. Grave personal matters which occupy his/her mindscape impacting ?job performance
  5. Not able to get along with superiors ?
  6. Undisciplined
  7. Peter’s principle – promoted to a level of incompetence
  8. Quiet quitter :looking for job elsewhere
  9. Quiet quitter : moonlighting
  10. Quiet quitter : passion outside work – a compelling hobby / gambling/ day-trading
  11. Quiet Quitter – Denied a promotion or pay hike
  12. Quiet Quitter- Burn out
  13. Over delegating
  14. Micro-managing
  15. Inter-personal incompetence rendering him/her unfit for meaningful work collaborations within the organisation
  16. Low customer orientation
  17. Lacking courage/ confidence( for people in key leadership roles)
  18. Unethical intent/pursuits
  19. ?Poor time manager
  20. Affiliation to competitors (double agents)

?

I am sure there are many more reasons. Did I miss some obvious ones. Do help me enrich this list

?

Why must organisations identify the cause of underperformance? I think its an imperative. Organisations through their HR must identify the reasons and based on the reasons identified work initiate targeted ?performance enhancement programme for the underperformers. It will benefit both – the employer and employee!

May be other factors such as insufficient resources provided by the employer, training not provided for operating instrument or assigned work, toxic work environment, negative attitude towards work, poor communication, hiring employee instead of promoting existing employee, incapable manager and the most important is giving less rating compared to his colleagues so that he intentionally do underperform.

day trading and focusing on short-term profits can often distract people from their primary roles and limit the innovation and engagement needed for a company's long-term success. When employees are more focused on immediate gains outside of work, it can lead to a "bare minimum" approach to their job responsibilities. This can stifle creativity, reduce initiative, and ultimately lead to lower overall organizational performance.
