Event description:
At the heart of performance management is the belief that every staff should contribute to the organisation mission and goal. When the team is remote it is harder to measure their results. Some organisations are uncertain on how to manage their performance management process. Some organisations are deciding if performance reviews should be abandoned, adapted, postponed or continued as it was.
Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) commitment 8 on staff competency states that communities and people affected by crisis receive the assistance they require from competent and well-managed staff and volunteers. In achieving this commitment organisation has a responsibility to ensure staff are supported to do their job effectively and treated fairly and equitably. This includes the responsibility of ensuring staff security and well-being is taken care of. Organisation has a duty of care towards the staff. This could be even more challenging in the current context.
There will be two interactive webinar sessions that will help explore;
- The act of balancing staff performance and staff care;
- Some of the challenges in managing staff performance and staff well-being in remote management;
- The role of HR in supporting and facilitating an effective remote performance management process.
