5 Ways To Use Basic Performance Engineering For Superior Employee Performance

5 Ways To Use Basic Performance Engineering For Superior Employee PerformanceAuthor: Leon NooneTraining is no guarantee of improved performance. When we know our employees are well trained, more training is wasteful and counterproductive. If you can't quite seem to work out how to get constant improved performance from your people, these ideas may help.If they can do it with a gun at their head , they don't need training.Harsh? Inhumane? Brutal? Maybe all of these things. But if that's your opinion, think about this: do you test your people before subjecting them to training? Are you absolutely certain that they don't know and can't do what they're going to "learn" in the training? Have you considered how you could help them improve performance without training?To put it bluntly, training will improve performance only with people who don't know and can't do. The problem with people who aren't performing is often that they "won't do" rather than "can't do". Training won't fix "won't do" problems.A bad system will beat a good performer almost every time.Please grasp this idea. It can't be overemphasised.Some academics and gurus want you to believe managing people is a vexing, unpredictable, complex business. That's how they keep their jobs. They want us to believe that we need them to help us fix our "people problems". We don't. We need good systems.Good people performance results mainly from good engineering with only a dash of psychology.
