If performance problems start to arise, how do we go about dealing with poor performance fairly? 

In any organisation, the people are the greatest creators of value. It is important early on, that they understand what’s expected of them and set the level of standard they need to meet their job. To enable them to achieve their performance goals, they need to be motivated, have the necessary skills, resources and support.  

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• what are the reasons causing performance issues? 
• what do you do when an employee puts in a grievance during a performance management process? 
• how to hold the meeting 
• dismissing for poor performance 
• setting the performance standards
