Performance Issues

How performance is measured is one of the biggest sources of conflict in the workplace.

We normally see two types of performance related issues. Firstly, is when an employee is given a lower performance rating than they think they deserve. A lower performance rating can mean losing pay increases, bonuses, and promotion opportunities. Some employers use performance ratings as part of their redundancy process. Secondly, is where an employee’s performance is criticised by their Line Manager. In many cases this is part of a process of trying to manage the employee out of the business.

If you believe your performance is being criticised unfairly then it is important that you challenge that quickly and robustly. Simply hoping that the problem goes away never works and the sooner you deal with it the better will be the outcome.
