More and more, small and mid-sized companies have discovered that strategic Human Resource (HR) is the key to ensuring that they reach their full potential in performance, productivity and profits.
There are 4 proven ways you can tap into and manage the full potential of every employee.
Keep employees’ daily efforts focused on key business objectives
Retain top performers and help those in need of a “performance boost”
Provide meaningful motivation and job satisfaction
Simplify your performance management process

So for each of the above mentioned steps you need to take, there is an action point associated to them;
Match the employee efforts with company objectives
Keep employees energized and engaged
Develop a pay-for-performance culture
