When there is poor performance at your workplace, it affects productivity and lowers morale among employees. Although discouraging, you can take steps to help remedy the situation.
Set Team Expectations
Setting clearly defined expectations helps your team know when and if their output is falling behind.
Increase Communication
Informing your employees that their performance is beginning to decrease when it starts helps to curtail a larger problem and lets them know you’re invested in employee relations.
Follow Through
To maintain respect, following through is a vital step to managing poor performance. Your words and subsequent actions have more power when your employees take you seriously.
Improve Your Performance
It’s your job to set a good example on the performance standards in your workplace, so improving your own performance helps earn your employee’s respect and encourage them to put in more effort.
Make The Hard Choices
If you’ve addressed your concerns and the employee doesn’t make the necessary changes, it may be required to let them go. This decision is hard, but it is important to make when needed.
