Janet was frustrated with her team for not getting their status reports in on time, even after repeated requests.Bill couldn’t figure out why the volunteers for his professional organization weren’t accomplishing their tasks.Adam had people begging to work with him but trying to negotiate down his already very reasonable rates.Percy’s wife, who constantly complained about all of his business trips and expenses, was wearing him down.Helen was completely overwhelmed with the constant flood of changes, new demands and unreasonable turn-around requ
Environment
Environment Issues are defined as performance issues that arise or rather result from an environmental factor that is beyond the control of the associate.
How to identify…
There are different ways to diagnose these issues. You could have a performer that begins to fall short on active listening after she was moved to a more rowdy team.
How to handle…
If possible, try to alter the environment to ensure the reps success. If you can correct the environmental issues by relocating the employee do so.
This three-part identification process allows you to collapse all the circumstances, factors, and tenure into a very precise method. It allows you to train those that need to be trained, address environmental factors if needed, and not waste you time o
Well, we finally did it to ourselves. Our profession refused to police itself, much less exercise prudent lending practices; now the government (state and soon federal) will do it for us … plus …FBI Suspicious Activities Reports have tripled in the last couple of years, from 10,000 to 35,000. That is an indication that fraud is blooming in the business. One statistic from the FBI is that 80% of all known fraud cases involve somebody internal in the industry. Frequently people see the other guy, cutting corners and the like, all in the name of commissions commission
These targets or goals are accomplished through the implementation and execution of a solid Performance Management Process (PMP). The objective is not to discuss the building or maintenance of the process, but focus rather on the end result.
What do you do when your employees have not met the standards or expectations and their performance needs to be addressed? It is your job to protect the business while trying to be sensitive and support your employee’s, and maintain a positive work environment. Sometimes both can be accomplished, sometimes they cannot.
So with the success of the business as the prize, how do you protect the prize, and decipher all the incoming data. You have to consider some general factors:
The business factor…
• These factors can include but certainly are not limited to: policy violation, policy interpretation, human resource approval, unemployment law, litigation, intent, staffing, tenure, and training.
The employee factor…
• On the employee side you must consider, anticipate, and listen to the barrage of employee “personal” issues that will be used to justify their substandard performance including divorce, child-care, abusive home life, rehabilitation, court dates, illness, poor training, no training and etcetera.
I’m going to provide you a process that allows you to increase your decision-making accuracy and velocity with 3 words. They are the three most spectacular words given to the modern manager:
Effort, Ability, or Environment
100% of all performance issues fit effortlessly into one of these three categories.
Effort
Effort Issues are defined as performance issues that arise when an employee knows how to perform and makes a decision not to.
How to identify…
Effort issues are usually inconsistent performers. The reps or associate is at goal or below goal based on how they feel or some other factor that is within their control. If you can hit goal once, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do it again.
How to handle…
There are many options when dealing with this segment of the population. You can provide, coaching, counseling, initiate documentation, corrective action, and even separate them from the organization.
Don’t waste time on effort issues- Progressively coach and counsel these associates. Your time is too valuable to spend with someone who knows how and chooses not to when you have other reps that want to and don’t know how.
Ability
Ability Issues are defined as performance issues that arise when an employee wants to perform, but doesn’t have the skills or training needed to accomplish the task at hand.
How to identify…
Ability issues can be found in newer reps or neglected tenured reps that have never hit goal.
How to handle…
These reps need to be trained. Ongoing coaching and development will prevent these employees from falling short of goals and developing effort issues.

If I asked you what one thing usually comes out top when employees are asked what is most important to them in a job, what do you think it would be? Money? Seniority? Health benefits? Company Car? Working hours?Well the answer is none of the above. The thing that comes out number one time and time again is staff needing to feel like they are wanted and that they are making a difference in their role. Wow! Who would have thought of that? Something so basic as feeling wanted and needed.So this begs the question, how many companies use this as a motivational to

This article points out some advantages of outsourcing, not just in a context of IT but in general context as well.

If you’ve listened to some radio ads lately you may have picked up on something, right as you punched the button to change the station. And that is that most radio spots, and by that I mean about 97%, are boring or just plain annoying... and boring.One problem is that many advertisers rely on the station to write and produce their spots. And who can blame them? The stations usually offer those services for free. And the word “free” is the operative word here as in, “you get what you pay for” free.Most stations make their account executives take on the ad

Note: People are judged on what they actually do and not on their potential.
