Activity 1 – Skill Activity

1. Locate and critically analyse your organisation’s strategic and operational plans. Identify and briefly describe any relevant policies and objectives to be addressed in performance management processes.

2. Create a document that can be presented to line managers within the workplace which provides them with information regarding objectives for performance management and methods that can be used to develop key performance indicators for those reporting to them.

3. Gain feedback from both providers and participants in relation to learning and development standards. Using this information, together with performance data, report on the success rates of activities to appropriate managers.

4. Within your workplace or organisation, demonstrate the completion of the following while managing performance management processes:
   1. Take responsibility for developing, implementing and monitoring processes and strategies to manage performance
   2. Monitor the adherence to organisational and legal requirements
   3. Use systematic, analytical processes in complex, non-routine situations, setting goals, gathering relevant information, and identifying and evaluating options against agreed criteria
   4. Store, access and organise digital information in line with organisational procedures.

5. Throughout the performance management process, highlight the use of effective communication skills during the following tasks:
   1. Liaising with personnel in a range of work contexts
   2. Supporting line managers to achieve goals, playing an active role in facilitating effective group interaction
   3. Negotiating with others to achieve agreeable outcomes playing an active role in facilitating consensus in contentious situations.

6. Provide examples of at least two different employment situations within your place of work. How can you ensure that performance management processes are flexible enough to cover these employment situations?

8. What might line managers need to be made aware of during training so that they can manage talent within the workplace?
9. Identify the performance gaps and provide three possible reasons for why an employee or work team could be continually performing below standard.​
