High performance working helps in improvising the the employee's
performance, engagement and commitments. When Huntress group uses
HPW the the company provides various growth opportunities to the

employees such as incentives, performance appraisal, rewards, flexibility
etc. this will boost up the morale of the employees towards their work and
they remain committed towards their work (What is high performance
working?, 2020). Besides this, to gain promotion they put their all efforts in
their work and try to perform all the given task and targets with full
efficiency and enthusiasm. When the organisation provides performance
appraisal, employees get self motivation towards their work. Apart from this,

Needs of employees
Employees can only remain committed towards the organisation, when the
company respects the needs of the employee, and provide them flexible
work so that they can manage their personal and professional life.
Feedback
The another responsibility of the organisation is that they should provide
feedback to employees so that they may know whether they are going right
or wrong so that they can improvise their work.
Communication
To enhance the employee commitment it is must that clear
communication take place in the organisation throughout which the situation
of conflicts can get reduce and working relation becomes better because in
the absence of clear communication employee will not understand that what
is being expecting from them (Kataria and et.al, 2019).

Provide individual attention
To increase the employee engagement there is a simple way that the
manger should ask them about their needs and expectation from the
company when the manager ask each and every employee about their
expectation they will feel, that they are the valuable asset for the company
and they will engaged more and perform their work effectively.
Give propriety to physical and mental health

efforts to increase the well-being. Organisation should conduct some physical
activities so that they do not take stress of the work although company
should provide some fitness offerings which encourage the health lifestyle of
the employee.

Rewards and achievements play a vital role in the employee
engagement, engaged employee do not hesitate to go extra mile.
Achievement boost-up the morale of the employees and they stay more
engaged towards their work.
Employee engagement survey
When the management conduct survey about the employee
engagement, then the employees will feel valued in the organisation(Koser
and et.al, 2018). It gives each and every employee an opportunity to share
their honest review about the work, do they like the work or not are they
facing any kind of pressure during the work, when the manager themselves
take this survey then it will definitely increase the employee engagement.
Competitive advantage
When the employee remain engaged and committed towards the
organisation, then the organisation reach to its end goal and they give strong
competition to others (Witkowski and et.al, 2019). When the employees are
highly skilled, they can know how to use technology and it is a recruitment
agency so they have to use technology top reach at many customers. To
earn the competitive advantage, Huntress group can conduct a market

research to know the perspective of customers and it is only possible when
the employees are engaged and highly skilled then they can contribute their
valuable ideas and
suggestion through which the company can make strategies to earn the

Performance management is a tool which helps the manager to
monitor the performance and work of employees. The main motive of
performance management is to establish an environment in which
employees can perform best from their abilities and capacities so that they
can deliver highest quality of work (Ali and et.al, 2020). On the other hand
performance management assist the employees and managers to
communicate the goal and career expansion programs so that they can
perform better and helps the organisation to attain the pre – determined
goal. It is one of the traditional tool which is being used by the manager to
maintain the workflow and also apply the course of action.
Approaches of performance management
Coaching
Coaching is a part of on the job training in which the employees get
training at the workplace and it helps them to enhance their skills and ability.
But the need of coaching may arise for existing employees on the basis of
their performance if the are performing good they do not need such kind of
coaching but when they are not performing as per the expectations of the
organisation then the management or HR conducts training for them so that
they can perform well (Pousa and et.al, 2018). Coaching is helpful for the
new employees as they are not aware about the working and culture of the
organisation although they do not know what organisation is expecting from
them apart from this coaching will help them to let them understand what

work they have to deliver for the company so that they can put their all
efforts and company may accomplish their goals soon.
Apart from this coaching also takes feedback from the employees to
know at which place they are facing issues so that with the help of coaching
it may get resolve. But coaching can only become possible when the coach
knowns the weakness and strength of each and every employee and also
they know the knowledge and available skill of the employees and as per
these information they may provide coaching to the employees and then
only then training and coaching become meaningful. But employees also
have to know that every task and situation brings opportunity for them so
they do not get rid from work and try to convert any situation in the favour
of the company. For example if the Huntress group provide coaching to its
employees then it will become easy for them to understand what company is
expecting from them , as the major objective of the company is expansion so
it is their responsibility to make them proper training and coaching so that
the employees can work accordingly. Apart from this, coaching will save the
time and extra cost of the employees and also it will strengthen their
knowledge and skill of the employees . As it is a recruitment agency and
they have to talk with their customers and sort out their queries if the
employees have proper training and coaching then they will know how to
address the queries of the customer and give them satisfactory answer so
that they refer this agency to their friends and families.
Besides this, coaching gives them proper knowledge which will not
only help them in their daily work but also help them throughout their life
and career (Bhatti and et.al, 2020). Along with this, coaching will boost – up
their confidence and moral apart from this coaching will improve their work
performance and this will directly impact their work. This will increase the
employee engagement as well and also bring encouragement, when the
employees re3main engaged to their work they can contribute more in result
their efficiency of work will increase and this will reflect on the profitability of

organisation. So by providing proper coaching Huntress group can
accomplish its goal.
