[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text single_style=””]Leaders must look after their organisations. They must provide focus and direction, must coach and mentor, must take on competitors and changing market conditions, and must deal with ever-changing technology<\/a>. While all this is going on, the organisation is evolving and changing. So, we need to do regular maintenance on our organisations in much the same way as we undertake maintenance on the equipment in our factories. Finding the time to do some maintenance of your organisation will pay off handsomely in the long run.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

1. The Psychological Contract of Employment<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When employees join an organisation they sign a written employment contract. The written contract is a narrow legal record of the relationship. At the same time, the employee forms an unwritten, intangible arrangement with his or her employer regarding the informal commitments, expectations and understandings that make up the relationship with the organisation. It\u2019s not specific and it exists largely in the minds of employees and governs their attitude, their relationship with other employees and their mindset on performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Review the job descriptions of your team. Are they up to date? Are they merely lists of tasks to be performed or are they a driver of high performance? Job descriptions play an important role in helping an employee understand what he or she has been appointed to do. Job descriptions help employees to identify and synchronise organisational directives, procedures, methods, and techniques which will drive the achievement of both organisational and personal goals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

5. Job Evaluation<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

An effective job evaluation system helps you to manage the equity and parity between jobs. Jobs of similar complexity, but in different functions or departments should be evaluated and thus remunerated in a similar way. It allows for an accurate comparison of different jobs at the same level. Sound job evaluation is an important part of maintaining an equitable remuneration strategy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

6. Performance Management<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Performance management helps you track your employees’ performance and tells you when they need extra support, require training, or deserve a salary increase. It enables your employees to work independently and collaboratively to achieve the goals of your organisation. It is important to have a structured performance management process to maintain high-performance standards for your organisation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Effective performance management is essential for your business. Through both formal and informal processes, it helps you align your employees, resources, and systems to meet their strategic objectives. It works as a dashboard too, providing an early warning of potential problems and allowing you to know when you must adjust to keep a business on track. Excellent performance is a natural follow-on when leaders speak openly, candidly, and regularly to each person in their team. It relies on open conversations. You should share the strategic big picture frequently, so that your team can operate independently and assertively to achieve the goals of the organisation, without you having to look over their shoulders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
