MANAGING UNDERPERFORMANCE
Nine respondents in 10 to our latest research on managing underperformance tell us that they have been affected by underperforming employees, with capability and absence the two most common poor-performance issues.
When it comes to dealing with underperformance, respondents tell us that the role of line managers is key - their competency and confidence are the most important aspects of managing employees who are not performing as would be expected. However, employers are not overly confident that they are successful in their approaches, which in turn means that line managers are not as effective as they should be. Our good practice guide is a useful tool to help employers to deal with this area, and also to coach and mentor managers.
Elsewhere, our latest review of pay settlements shows considerable variations between different industrial sectors.
