Performance Management

 


 


Tired of Sorting Through Countless Performance Management Tools?

It doesn't have to be a chore.

Why?

Because of the - Janus Performance Management System

Are you a CEO, Small Business Owner, HR professional, line or staff manager - or just an individual that wants to get more out of the performance management process - if so, then the Janus system is for you.

The Janus Performance Management system is a fully integrated paper and online resource package designed specifically for anyone that's looking to get more out of the process and achieve better long-term results-for themselves, the team and the organization.

The Janus performance management system offers organizations and individuals a full suite of support modules to help each stage of the process flow smoothly, from initial motivation to succeed and goal setting, to effective coaching and giving feedback, all the way through to the end of the cycle to review discussions and career action planning.

In addition, Janus includes a full self, 180 degree and 360 degree feedback assessment system that's tailored to each individual's required competencies (drawn from an extensive library of 36 competencies that are described within the Janus system).

Here's what we have for you immediately...

A Free Competency booklet that serves as the outline for the complete performance management system. This workbook will give you the outline to review the competencies that are the most important to your own job role or to look at the core competencies that your team needs in order to be successful.

And it's FREE - just by asking.

When you download it, you'll also receive a free set of five performance management forms or templates to use throughout the entire process.

This includes goal or objective setting, holding performance progress review discussions, holding end of year performance discussions and conducting a career action planning review.

These comprehensive manuals were written specifically for any organization or individual looking to maximize the benefits of performance management (and to minimize the drawbacks).

The system has literally hundreds of pages of hands-on performance management ideas, how-to steps and action plans that can be utilized.

Everything you need to know to participate successfully in performance planning and review - available in on-line and hard copy versions.

Janus is a fully integrated suite of materials that provides a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to Performance Management for both appraisers and appraisees.

Whether you’re designing a performance management or appraisal system or reworking or adding to an existing one, Janus will save you time and money.

The Importance of a Competency-Based System

Competencies typically only include behaviors that demonstrate effective or superior performance. Therefore, they do not include specific knowledge, but do include "learned" or practical experience, or the behavioral application of knowledge that produces a successful result. Competencies are not specific skills, but rather the application of skills that produces a successful result.

Here's a diagram of the model.

This model is important because it provides a road map for the range of behaviors that produce excellent performance. It helps:

  • organizations to "raise the bar" of performance expectations;
  • individuals and teams to align their behavior with key organizational strategies; and
  • each individual to understand how to achieve expectations.
