Carrier strategy depends upon the number of factor which consists of nature of the job, type of
industry and the culture and polices of the organisation. In making the effective carrier strategy

In every company or industry there is a basic carrier strategy process follow by the
workforce in accordance to grow themselves by putting efforts in the field of tasks and

adopting these changes will develop the carrier of the individual and employee, by
communicating with the colleagues, friends and sources by which new carrier option will
generate.
 Image and Reputation:
Its a carrier strategy which defines one reputation and image of an individual in the organisation

How many high performance people are developing by effective performance management?
Performance management is not an easy task to navigate. It constantly involves in new trends of
performance management emerges at every year. Due to unmotivated, unengaged feeling of
employees and managers are frustrated at poor levels of team and employee performance at
individual level. Thus more companies know the importance of effective performance
management systems. It is the important method that helps business organisations towards
development of employee’s performances through effective performance management (Shi,
Brinthaupt and McCree, 2017). The first step towards improving existing performance processes
is to understand what effective performance management system is explained within following
steps:
Simplify the process: Adoption is the key for successful process of feedbacks. It makes
difficult for business organisations to get a lot of feedbacks between people due to their tools and
techniques that doesn’t allow them to use simple approaches. This leaves business firms without
sufficient data in order to help firm for development of people. Thus one of the important aspects
of developing employee’s performance is to make the process as simple as possible in order to
get people doing it. Thus in terms of developing employee’s performance through effective
performance management based on concentrating on easy way to enable feedback interactions
between co-workers. Use of mobile technology is a best ways to achieve effective feedback
8

interactions between employees that lead to performance development of human resources
(Daniels, 2017).
Plan regular meetings: Another important way to enhance employee’s performance is
reflect as informal performance conversation to increase employee engagement and their
performance, schedule regular 1-on-1 meetings between human resources and managers. To get
out of meetings it’s recommended to dedicate meetings for specific skills, formulate & establish
action steps to realize improvement and reflects results during following meetings. These
meetings are reflects as powerful tool to bring feedback and enhance performance of employees
that has prominent impact over organisational productivity (Kuznetsov and Sabel, 2017).
Use of performance management to build skills: Another important way to develop
effective performance skills between employees is through applying flexible performance
conversation with aim as to provide employees at a level with practices steps they can take in
order to improve themselves. As per this method business organisations have to ask themselves
what skills are essential for every person to succeed in their jobs and duties. This helps in
developing these skills so as to directly enhance the performance of organisation. Convey theses
skills effectively so as to make better performance of employees as well as helps to develop
productivity of firm.
Teaching managers for giving better feedbacks: Managers often fail to give useful
feedbacks to employees. This helps employees being left behind clueless rather than it drives
their performance. Managers lack insight in skills and performance of their teams. Thus it is
important for business organisations to make their managers enable of managing employees
performance effectively through teaching them how to deal with feedback and provide tools that
helps them to gain insight in the skills, performance and coaching needs of team members (Van
Deur, 2017).
Disconnect compensation and development: In terms of stimulate honest and useful
feedback between peers; development should be separate from compensation. Finding other
metrics for compensation, for instance how it difficult to be replace this person in firm. Reward
coaching is also an important method of developing employee’s performance that has prominent
impact in overall organisational development.
Coach everyone & stimulate peer coaching: Another significant method of enhancing
employee’s performance within organisation through effective management of their performance
9

is showing everyone how to contribute with organisational success and make sure all people of
firm take to reach next level. Holding everyone accountable for own tasks and duties helps to
develop and provide coaching and training to support. Rewards are arranged for individuals who
are actively participate in coaching. This helps to enhance productivity and performance of
employees (Filelis-Papadopoulos and et. al., 2016).
Evaluate how high performance strategies enable business firms to reflect on how to work
effectively as a part of team.
It is important to create strategies that helps team to work at their highest level and defines
specific and unique project goals and time lines to produce high performance in team works.
High performance strategies help to make business organisations capable of influencing
behaviours and performance of employees in effective manner that has prominent impact over
firm (Mahfood Haddad and Ali, 2017). Following are the high performance strategies that reflect
how to work effectively within teams:
Define the purpose: High performance strategy of defining the purpose and goals of
organisation and how it relates to reason of employees joining and contributing to the
organisation. when tasks and duties are clearly defined and assigned to employees it makes it
clear for them what to do and how to do it with effectiveness and efficiency. Thus through
defining and assigning tasks and duties effectively it has prominent impact over conflicts
resolution within teams as all are well aware about their work and tasks regarding organisation
that leads to overall success of firm.
Set clear objectives: For teams to perform successfully it is important to know what employees
are supposed to do. A detailed and comprehensive plan set daily tasks of employees and take
them responsibility to manage their work by own that help employees to achieve more. Setting
clear goals and objectives helps employees to be better understand of their position within the
firm and what skills and abilities they have to posses so as to develop fulfilment of tasks and
explain that how their contribution matters towards business success. Thus it helps in making
employees responsible for their work and develops understanding (Caldwell and Hayes, 2016).
Delegate attainable targets: After setting of employee goals it is important for business
organisations to obtain team objectives. The objectives of team members should be high enough
based on challenges and have capability to achieve business objectives within specified time
limit and availability of resources. These goals and objectives give team a sense of achievement
10

yet making sure that they are excited for future challenges occurs within firm. This helps
employees to learn and acquire a diverse set of skills (Welborn, 2016).
Provide state of art technology: It helps in building high performance teams through efficient
collaboration, automation and communication. Teams spread out across the world to
communicate within seconds thanks to cloud based technology for saving time and efforts of
people. Tasks related to labour are copying and filing with automation that helps employees to
save time and enables them to concentrate on prominent component of interpretation & decision-
making. Thus it is also an important high performance strategy that has prominent impact over
firm’s performance and smooth functioning of firm. Technology makes it easy for team members
to communicate effectively so as to maintain proper coordination and cooperation between
members of teams.
Design comfortable office spaces: In order to develop productivity and performance of
employees it is important for business organisations to design comfortable office spaces so as to
maintain hygiene within environment of organisation. Comfortable office spaces helps top
management to build effective design of office where everyone can feel comfortable and works
hard for effective results based on cooperation and coordination. This helps to deal with critical
situations mutually. It also helps to regular collaboration and coordination among employees.
Modern workforce now shifting towards co-working spaces that helps employees to feel
comfortable to work and move around (Trevino and Nelson, 2016).
Involve in important decisions: to drive high performance of teams, involve team members in
process of decision making that has prominent impact over accomplishment of business
objectives. This helps to give them sense of importance and makes them feel valuable towards
their opinions and values. Engaging employees in functioning to paves the ways of transparency
and keeps them in loop with decisions and developments being made within the firm.
Communication: A team which communicate frequently and honestly will always be more
effective and efficient than its counterpart. A team that has the capability to communicate with
one another so as to know strength, capabilities and areas where they might need helps form
other members of teams. Thus effective communication may help to take assistance and
guidance of each other that has prominent impact over increasing capabilities of employees to
get effective business results.
11

Conduct team building activities: Another high performance strategy that helps to make
effectiveness of team members. The best way to build effective communication between
members of teams is through conducting team building activities for instance a session of
icebreaker questions. Team building helps to get employees together and encourage them to
collaborate and communicate. These activities help employees to acquire some of major
challenges faced by them while working in organisation. Skills such as- working with people
from different departments, communicating and making decisions regarding teams, strategies
and problem solving, urges people to come together and collaborate in order to obtain business
objectives with keeping each other’s strength and weaknesses in mind (Jovanovic, Fiorillo and
Rössler, 2016).
Encourage personal growth: Another important way of strategy to help employees to work
effectively within groups. Goggle allows their employees to spend 20% of their time over
personal projects. While it might be effective for business organisations to encourage them to
pursue their passion. There are various policies to encourage employees. For instance flexible
workings, work from home, cultural clubs in office like drama and music club, library
membership etc. this is also an effective high performance strategy that has prominent impact
over firms position.
