Performance Management: Employees No More Seek Bosses, But Mentors!

“Employees engage with employers and brands when they’re treated as humans worthy of respect.”

– Meghan M. Biro

Ever thought why managers have tough time struggling to equip, inspire and improve the performance of their employees and teams? If not, then here is the answer. Performance management becomes a real challenge at workplace when it is one of the most important contributors of any organizational growth. It is the process of creating a work setting which promotes people to perform to the best of their abilities and which can happen only when the employees needs are kept into consideration.

Seeing the increasing orientation of people towards their career growth, organizations should understand that these days, paychecks alone cannot hold people back in the organization. There is something more that they look for – personal satisfaction that comes from a strong purpose.

Employees no longer look for a boss to monitor them. Rather they seek a guide or a coach who can mentor them in all walks of life and not just work. Personal and professional development is the active force driving people and work experience has surpassed paychecks in people’s sustainability in any organization. The sooner any organization realizes this fact, the sooner they can cater to the needs of their employees.

Ergode understands what an employees seeks for in any organization and has accordingly created a work space environment where individuals flourish and grow themselves, best to their potential. It provides well-defined job clarity and priorities along with ongoing feedback and communications moving through managers who provide abundant opportunities for people to learn and grow in their careers.

Focusing solely on the innate talents and strengths of each member, managers in Ergode, no longer the traditional bosses, understand the needs of their people and work to eliminate all the barriers creating hindrance in their success. In this way, they become the life coaches who create meaningful experiences and individual change for the people working, not for them but with them.

Moving your organization to a culture of performance development is not easy and Ergode pays extreme attention aligning performance development approaches with team and organizational goals. A workplace culture where managers involve their employees in goal setting, give them the freedom to bring in new ideas, motivate them and push them to reach their goals with a parallel development in self personality is nothing but the hallmark of Ergode.

“Good performance accountability is about having a positive conversation between manager and employee. A manager is a coach and communicator, not command and controller.”
