Managing employee performance is a critical responsibility which drives organizational performance. It is one of the most important elements of a manager's job. A manager/supervisor is responsible to clearly communicate performance goals and objectives to each of their employees. Once communicated, s/he has the responsibility to follow through, to determine if objectives are being met, and to provide ongoing feedback to maintain positive behavior or correct inappropriate behavior.
