Are you looking to improve employee engagement, boost productivity and monitor performance effectively? You are not alone. For HR and trainers, the challenge is clear: to put in place tools and methods that guarantee effective support while encouraging employees to develop their skills.
Performance management is more than just an annual appraisal. It’s an ongoing process that aligns your company’s talent with its strategic objectives.
Why is monitoring employee performance essential?
Talent engagement and retention: follow-up that makes a difference
An employee who knows where he or she is going is a committed employee. When they have a clear vision of their progress and the company’s expectations, your employees are more invested in their work. It’s exactly this constant, personalised monitoring that reinforces this vision.
Performance and productivity: for continuous improvement
Performance monitoring is not just a control tool. It’s a lever for identifying strengths and areas for improvement. By detecting skill gaps early on, you can put in place targeted personal development plans.
Aligning performance with corporate strategy
A high-performing employee is good. An employee who contributes to your company’s strategic objectives is even better. And it’s precisely by integrating your objectives into performance monitoring that each employee becomes a key player in the achievement of overall objectives, which also increases cohesion and collective success.
The best methods for assessing performance
Annual appraisals or ongoing feedback?
The annual review is still a classic. But is it enough? Not really. Regular feedback enables us to identify needs quickly and adjust actions for improvement.
- With MOS Chorus, you can automate hot and cold evaluations, collect anonymous feedback and integrate satisfaction questionnaires to fine-tune your learning and management strategies.
Setting SMART objectives
Without clear objectives, it’s hard to make progress. The SMART method (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound) enables managers to structure performance management effectively.
- With MOS Manager, your managers can monitor the achievement of their teams’ objectives and adjust their training and coaching strategies accordingly.
Regular meetings for effective monitoring
Individual interviews are not just a formality. They are an opportunity to support employees as they progress and to strengthen open communication.
- With MOS Trainer, trainers have a real-time view of learners’ progress and can adjust their sessions according to the skills they have acquired.
The essential tools for effective performance monitoring
An LMS to structure and manage skills development
The LMS (Learning Maangement System) is the central tool for organising and monitoring the development of your employees’ skills. It makes for greater efficiency by bringing together all training, assessment and performance data on a single platform.
A well-designed LMS helps you to :
- Make it easier to manage your training: plan sessions, automate registrations and track your staff’s progress in real time.
- Monitor the performance of your teams: access detailed dashboards to track changes in skills and employee commitment.
- Create engaging content: develop interactive modules tailored to your learners’ needs and your company’s objectives.
- Optimise training administration: simplify assessments, certifications and HR processes related to talent development.
Data for effective talent management
Good performance monitoring is based on key performance indicators (KPIs), which give you a clear picture of the progress made and the areas for improvement.
Thanks to interactive dashboards, you can measure:
- Your employees’ productivity: track their progress on training courses and their skills development.
- Level of commitment: analyse participation in training courses, the award of badges and interaction on collaborative forums.
- Job satisfaction: gather feedback from your employees via surveys and training evaluations.
- Skills development: validate certifications obtained and monitor the acquisition of new expertise.
How do you introduce a feedback culture in your company?
Implementing a feedback culture encourages continuous improvement and reinforces transparency within your teams. Regular, structured feedback enables your staff to better understand their strengths, identify areas for improvement and make effective progress.
Encourage 360° feedback for a more balanced assessment
Feedback should not be limited to top-down assessments by managers. A more global approach, incorporating feedback from colleagues, teams and sometimes even customers, provides a more accurate picture of skills and performance.
For the 360° feedback system to be truly beneficial, it is important to structure this type of feedback with clear criteria and appropriate tools: anonymous surveys, regular interviews or even collaborative platforms for easy discussion of successes and areas for improvement.
Train managers to give constructive feedback
Poorly formulated feedback can be counter-productive and undermine employee motivation. Managers need to be trained to structure their feedback so that it is both useful and stimulating.
We support managers through specific training, practical workshops and dedicated tools. The aim is to enable them to adopt a constructive stance and encourage friendly exchanges that promote individual and collective progress.
Integrating feedback into career management
Feedback should not be seen simply as an assessment tool, but as a lever for professional development. When integrated with talent management, it enables you to better support your employees and align their ambitions with your company’s needs.
Encouraging self-assessment and continuous feedback enables your employees to take responsibility for their own progress. And by embedding a culture of feedback in your company’s practices, you support the commitment, skills development and retention of talent.
