Work by objectives: it is a good technique to motivate employees, as their achievement will make them feel satisfied. They must be provided viable, measurable and challenging objectives.

Tips to make the right choice for PMS services:
- Invest on the Manager on training / coaching “strategic nature of the improvement of people’s performance and consistency between individual improvement and business results”;
- Build a system of performance management for large sections of the workforce linked to the professional and personal development (how to improve the contribution of people to business performance), using systems – computerized course – bottom-up evaluation and comparison / feedback with your boss and colleagues team / project;
- Connect to limited groups of the population Performance Management System to variable pay, giving macro business objectives, goals and objectives of the role of “improvement” in fact tied to learning individual;
- Define the role of objectives not purely quantitative, but also qualitative, taking into account the contributions that are asked to functions and roles (think of too many trivial objectives that are given to the management roles to be forced to enter numerical targets);
- Reward improvements and ambitious results ( “challenging, not ordinary”), not the normal result, which should already be awarded through the fixed remuneration;
- Institutionalize a system of individual feedback and maybe even “social”, with moments of real “celebration”, to stimulate all to the excellent performances.
