Employee Goals Vs Management Expectations
Organizations have "Goal Setting Process" for the employees. They ask employee to set goals for next 1 year so that employee can always refer to those goals and track their progress.
I think that organizations should have "Expectation Setting Process" too for the employees by the manager so that employee can track their progress in terms of satisfying those “Expectations”. This will avoid unnecessary discussion and pointless reasons for bad appraisals like you didn’t do this you didn’t do that. Most of the time employee focuses on the project success. They work on project to achieve targets and meet deadlines. They have no time for the finding out extra expectations. This is the gap between expectations and goals. Result will be poor appraisal process and unsatisfied employee. Employee will always wonder that he performed well whole year, he made project a huge success and still poor appraisal, what did go wrong?? And then in the appraisal discussion management discloses its expectations of wanting extra work from employee. At this point of time employee has no chance of fulfilling those expectations. This keeps employee left unmotivated and unappreciated. An organization can’t flourish on unmotivated employees. Hence "Expectation Setting Process" is the need of the hour. Regular feedback will also be very helpful in this.
