How to solve performance issues

The Challenge

Addressing employee performance issues is one of the biggest challenges for managers. It is hard to help an employee improve without tools and processes that could reveal performance challenges, help motivate and track positive change.

The Approach

Step 1: Clearly state the problem and back it up with data.

When bringing up an employee performance issue, make sure you are presenting not only an opinion, but demonstrate supporting data metrics, KPIs, and trends.

Step 2: Set goals and establish success metrics.

"Getting better" can be treated differently by different people. A clear goal along with progress tracking metrics will help quantify the concept of improvement.

Step 3: Track progress.

Develop a personal progress report and discuss the results during regular one-on-one meetings. Agree on and document the next week’s challenges, acknowledge improvements and identify areas for development.

GoodDay is designed to improve performance over time and offers tools that help implement this 3-step strategy from start to success.

Transparency & gamification improve performance
