Improve Employee Performance Idea 116 – May 28, 2010: Explain How Skills Save Time

When employees become lackadaisical about acquiring or maintaining their skills, you need to find ways to encourage them to feel differently. How? By letting employees know that you value their skills and that their skills are valuable. Try this from a “saving time” perspective.

• Explain how skills help employees save time doing a weekly task.

• Explain how skills help employees save time doing a daily task.

• Explain how skills help employees save time doing a monthly task.

KEY REMINDER: To improve employee performance, you have to conduct effective performance discussions, give effective performance feedback, reinforce employee performance, and use effective performance phrases to write effective performance appraisals.
