How does performance management affect employee development and organizational success?

Performance management is a fundamental element of any successful organization.

According to the CIPD, performance management is the process and activities that focus on

maintaining and improving employee performance per an organization's objectives. It aligns

employee efforts toward the company's success, develops individual growth, and ensures a

motivated and productive workforce. The essay will analyze how performance management

affects employee development and organizational success.

The primary function of performance management is to align a company’s employee

activities with the organizational goals. It ensures that the employee activities harmonize with the

organization's strategic objectives. According to Aguinis (2019), employees gain insights into

their strengths and areas for growth when the management offers constructive feedback and

support (Aguinis 27). It also creates unity within the general direction by translating broad

organizational goals into specific targets for individual performance. Therefore, it is an essential

component of the company to ensure every team member effectively contributes towards the

success of the company.

It is also essential to enhance employee performance and development. Performance

management entails establishing clear expectations of employees and giving them regular

feedback. Such clarity enables employees to understand their roles and how an individual's

contribution impacts the organization. Employees are often positive and more motivated when

they know what is expected of them. The latter leads to overall enhanced organizational

performance.

Moreover, performance management is essential in facilitating employee development.

Regular performance evaluations are integral to performance management, enabling employees

to recognize their strengths and weaknesses regarding skill development and overall

performance. Management uses these evaluations to provide opportunities for targeted training

and to further an employee's career growth for personal and professional advancement (DeNisi

and Murphy 422). In addition, regular performance reviews can help human resource

management identify and retain top talent, which helps in succession planning for highly critical

roles.

It also ensures objective evaluation that helps in improving motivation and engagement.

A structured performance management system provides a standardized approach to objectively

evaluating employees. It minimizes bias and ensures that performance appraisals, promotions,

and rewards are fair and just. According to Pulakos et al. (2019), objective evaluations are

essential to maintain the trust and morale of the workforce, which leads to improved individual

and team performance (Pulakos et al. 478). Recognition and reward for good performance are

crucial elements of performance management. Good performance recognition increases morale,

thus improving the engagement of employees. Similarly, promotions, incentives, and other

recognition programs encourage employees to improve their performance, creating a performing

culture within an organization.

In conclusion, performance management is an important determinant of employee

development and organizational success. It is crucial to provide definite direction to individual

performances concerning organizational objectives. Moreover, it is important to provide a non-

biased evaluation of employees that helps in employee development, leading to the development

of a continuous performance culture. Therefore, an effective performance management system

helps organizations maintain a motivated and productive workforce that drives long-term growth

and success.
