Title: Performance Management System – For Reward or Punishment?
Many companies are using their performance management system to control
and punish people/ divisions which do not meet their set targets.
Seldom do I hear about celebrating good results. Sales
people are probably the ones who get to celebrate for they are likely to
have a "gong gong" arrangement to announce when they have won a new
contract. But why are we not implementing a more positive approach of
defining "celebration rules" as a part of the company's performance
management system? You should go ahead and define which events or what
results entitle to an official celebration.
I know for sure how much recognition means to me and
others and celebration is a way to award recognition. Let your
performance management system contain the celebration rules.
One example of how such a rule could be set up is like this:
If target is achieved –› send an email to the local baker
and order a cake for delivery –› send out invitations to people
responsible for the achievement of the target
We need to start focusing more on partying, celebrating
& recognizing, because I think this is what drives performance.
Recognizing facilitates a positive performance culture.
Good luck – and remember too much cake is not healthy!
