Employee Relations Services > Managing Under Performance + Capability
Manage Under Performance and Capability issues with clarity and swiftness
Under performing employees have a negative impact on your business output
Effective performance management involves taking a supportive approach while applying fair, consistent processes that support both the employee and the line manager.
Employees need to understand what’s expected of them, and must be managed so that they are motivated, have the skills, resources and support they need to succeed, and are accountable for their work.
Our HR Consultants guide you through every step—including managing performance informally through effective 1-1s and objective setting, through to formal capability processes if under-performance continues unsustainably.
Why getting performance management right matters
Managing under-performance in your organisation matters because it has a ripple effect on the wider population and your line managers. It can create resentment amongst co-workers and additional work for the wider team.
Getting it right through following a clear process and steps with monitoring and review points protects your business from legal and reputational risk.
Done properly it:
Reinforces clear expectations and standards
Shows your commitment to fair treatment
Minimises the risk of tribunal claims
Ensures consistent and transparent outcomes
Maintains employee trust and morale
