Performance management – turning a foe into an ally

Performance management should be viewed positively - as a supporter rather than an adversary of both managers and employees. The Collaboration-Based Performance Management model provides an easy-to-use framework to guide managers in the process.

This Performance Management White Paper provides practical and insightful suggestions on:

• Why a paradigm shift is critical

• The value of performance appraisal

• How to instil best performance

• Using the framework to overcome systemic and cultural challenges

Transformational Leadership Program

We took a live poll and survey at the end of the workshop and found that at least 50% of the respondents are already on a transformation journey with at least another 25% embarking on one. The critical question is: are our leaders ready to lead and drive change that is increasingly complex?

Strategic HR Reviews

In order to help you better understand the services we provide, we have put together case studies of projects that DecodeHR worked on to assist our client in their HR and business needs.

Strategic HR Review: Parenting Case Study

Summary

Profile of Organisation

Founded 12 years ago with the aim of providing parents with the tools and skills necessary for better parenting. It also operates transitional shelters for homeless families.

Background

DecodeHR was engaged to conduct a strategic review of its HR policies, practices, and procedures, and benchmark them, where appropriate, against the HR best practices adopted by organisations especially within the same sector. A key outcome would be to strengthen the organisation’s Employer Brand through aligning HR practices to the company’s mission, vision and core values.

Strategic HR Review: Remittance Case Study

Summary

Profile of Organisation

Founded 18 years ago to cater to the needs of individuals and companies to remit money to China, the organisation has experienced exponential growth in the last 5 years and has expanded its services to other countries in Asia. Management believes in grooming talent internally, hiring fresh graduates who are rotated to different business areas as part of their professional and to ensure there are sufficient trained personnel to meet fluctuating demand for its services at the front counters.

Background

DecodeHR was engaged to conduct a strategic review of its HR policies, practices, and procedures and to benchmark these against high performing small and medium sized enterprises. Key outcomes would be to strengthen the organisation’s performance management process to build a performance based culture, create career development plans /pathways for employees and succession plans for leadership roles. An employee e-handbook would also be created to document the new / revised policies.

Given the language capability of the majority of the workforce, it was critical that communications (both written and verbal) be in both English and Mandarin.

Results

• Performance management systems are now more objective and transparent and employees are hence more motivated to perform

• Culture of learning and encouraging individuals to own their career and professional development

• Continuity in leadership roles and increased employee engagement

• Compensation structure aligned with organisation’s values and requirements

• Reduction in recruitment and selection risks as the requirements for each role are clearly defined
