In this fourth in our focus on Maximising Performance, we look at how to manage performance fairly during times of change and disruption. If performance happens in a static environment then it would be easy to fairly judge an up or down turn. But how do you do it the industry in work in has suffered disruption - is it me, or 'life'? If performance was 100% based on black and white measures, then it would be obvious to all parties if performance was an issue, but increasingly these tasks are being done by tech, or teams working in matrix environments where someone may be reliant on the wider team in order to individually perform. We explore tips for keeping fair and rational during the ups and downs of change, practical communication strategies to have honest conversations and we end by exploring the traps that you need to watch out for to keep fair and professional. If the future of work is likely to focus more on less tangible aspects like culture, engagement, experience and bringing about change, then managing performance in that will require a maturity that balances bottom line with top line ambitions.
