Question

• How do you recommend organizations use technology to enhance performance management? Does technology complicate goal-setting, and if so, what should be done to use technology more effectively?

Answer 1

Ans:

Organizations use various kinds of technologies to enhance performance management. The performance management system has been around for long, earlier managers used to give the employees a certain amount of work to complete. These goals will go down the corporate ladder and finally, it will be achieved. But nowadays in this competitive world, this system is not effective. Using technology the organization will have a better chance of success. Using technology can help in monitoring performance, set standards to achieve the goals and also helpful in employee appraisals. This can help the organization achieve its goal according to the plan in an efficient way. Using technology can also help to track the progress of success in the organization.

Technology does not complicate goal setting if used in a proper way. With technology, individuals can be assigned goals like cascading goals where the subordinate's target is dependent upon the manager's target and so on. This method has multiple owners to take accountability for so the goal is completed effectively. Performance management also helps in monitoring the performance of employees and ensure how they progress towards their goals. Interpersonal communication, strategies can also be improved by using technology. So overall using technology in performance management can give a proper plan of action to employees in order to perform better.
