Building Performance Teams

Alliance Enterprises commissioned the development of a Performance Management program that is based on 4 simple steps:

1. Define the Objectives
2. Define the Job(s)
3. Measure Performance
4. Use Sound Hiring Techniques

What's unique about our program is that we have developed tools that make these commonly known key steps easy to execute while ensuring support of corporate objectives, individual growth and that you have the best fit candidates in the right jobs. The Alliance Enterprises' Performance Management program can help ensure your organization is a highly productive team!

Define the Objectives

Defining objectives and ensuring corporate alignment is an area in which many firms find challenges. Alliance Enterprises contracted the development of the Objective Grid that will simplify this significant activity. The Objective Grid ensures that:

1. Everyone is working toward the same strategic goal(s)
2. Strategic goals are being appropriately supported
3. Resources and energy is focused on work that matters

Inspired by Hoshin based strategic planning models, this simple objective alignment tool makes Step 1 in Performance Management very effective.

Define the Job(s)

Defining the job is critical to ensure the appropriate candidate is hire and that the individual will be successful while contributing to the annual objectives. Job definitions can serve as the foundation for annual performance measurement and objective planning when structured appropriately. Alliance Enterprises has developed a Job Requirements Template specifically to complement this step in Performance Management. The Job Requirements Template will provide the guidance to ensure competencies and behavioral expectations are defined along with the primary accountabilities of every position.

Measure Performance

Measuring performance, in order to be effective and meaningful, must be done consistently and in association with the expectations of the job and individual objectives. Measuring performance against annual performance objectives is all too often neglected and poorly executed. It's a primary and fundamental management competency that is too often made to be cumbersome. Adoption of the Performance Scorecard will make this task meaningful while adding clarity and meaning to everyone's work day.

Use Sound Hiring Techniques

The final step in the Alliance Enterprises Performance Management program is offering training and support in sound hiring techniques. At Alliance Enterprises, we practice Top Grading. We are a reseller of the technique if you wish to fully adopt the proven practice. We can also train your team on the fundamentals of the techniques.
