Whether looking to improve or address poor performance, achieving excellent performance through good management provides huge benefits to your business.

Performance appraisals, setting objectives and giving feedback are a critical part of effective people management.

When it comes to motivating and getting the best from your employees, giving feedback and praise (where deserved) is often as effective as an increase in salary or a bonus.

However, when you need to address poor performance, capability or conduct issues, having clear and robust disciplinary and capability procedures to follow will enable you to stay within legislative requirements.
