We recognise that it is of crucial importance for you to maximise the return on one of your biggest investments - your employees

It is widely recognised that an organisation's employees represent a major investment - the figures are there in the accounts to remind us, and like all investments, it is important that the return is maximised.

Given this fact one might expect the issues that impact on employee performance - good people management practices - would be very high on the agenda.

The truth is however that these so called soft issues are rarely given the same emphasis as the hard measurable factors such as sales and productivity targets, profitability etc etc.

In such circumstances it is not surprising that hard pressed managers give highest priority to the hard measurable factors.

Putting good people management higher on the agenda

There is a danger of being patronising if we remind you of the key issues that impact on employee performance because most organisations are aware of them. (If you need a few clues though they can be found in the column on the left of this page.)  

The main issue is not so much about knowledge or awareness though. It is more about taking the right action to put people management issues higher on the agenda.  In short, setting measurable objectives relating to the key factors that impact on people performance and constantly measuring the performance of managers against these objectives.

It is in deciding the key objectives and the measuring of performance where CERT can help and advise you.
