Do your employees know what you want them to do? Are you sure?

Supervisors spend time and effort telling employees what to do, both formally via things like job descriptions, work assignments, emails, and meetings, and informally through everyday conversations. All these efforts cause supervisors to believe employees grasp what is expected of them. Sadly, this is often not the case.
Do you wonder if that’s true? Check out Officevibe’s 2014 survey results:

• 58 percent of executives believe their current performance process does not drive employee engagement.
• Only 8 percent of companies report that their performance management process drives high levels of value.

So yes, it’s worth your time to consider how clearly understood expectations can improve your group’s productivity and thus boost your success as a supervisor.

To see results, you need a multi-pronged strategy. You need to:

• Call attention to performance expectations
• Convey job and task specifics, and ensure employees have the necessary skills
• Provide employees with actionable feedback

This workbook also provides exercises that guide you in applying what you learn to your work situation. With the knowledge and tools provided, you can make a difference in your team, and thus in your organization and career.

After completing the workbook, you’ll know how to:

• Use position descriptions as the basis for setting performance expectations and guiding employee development.
• Describe the characteristics of effective performance goals and develop such goals.
• Identify different types of performance standards and performance measurement methods.
• Communicate performance expectations.
• Conduct performance observations, collect data, and solicit feedback.
