What are the cultural implications of implementing a Performance Improvement Program?
The transition from a production based culture to an effective performance based culture can lead to unique challenges and enormous benefits. New roles for Supervisors, Managers and Associates may cause anxiety, optimism and pessimism. Manage this by acknowledging difficulties and encouraging follow-through; by providing a degree of standard transparency you can ease apprehension. When properly implemented a Performance Improvement Program will positively impact your culture and set the stage for continuing gains in employee loyalty, productivity, and reduction of costs to name a few.
