Question

Why are employees not simply left alone to do their jobs, instead of having their performance measured and evaluated all the time? What conditions make it easier for an organization to achieve continuous improvement? What conditions make it more difficult?

Answer 1

Good question, But in most businesses, performance measurement and assessment may feel continuous, but is actually very rare and likely too rare to guarantee excellent performance. What you need to remember is when you're working: what you're doing is ALWAYS for the advantage or on someone else's request (even if you're CEO). Making Other individuals dependent on your job in one way. So you can't be left "in peace" as you're not a one-person business, and good or bad work isn't what you believe it's, but what OTHER thinks it is, and their requirements may alter at a moment's notice as conditions change. Once an employee has been established and familiar with the organization and aligned with its goals and evolving situations, the worker is not typically monitored but permitted to do what they want.

Easier things - Continuous Improvement is the ongoing effort by making small, incremental improvements within a business to improve products, services and processes. It is based on the belief that these incremental modifications will result in significant improvements over time and is as much about tactics (i.e. particular improvements) as it is about altering the organization's culture to concentrate on improvement possibilities rather than issues. Support from the management team of an organization is generally quoted as the number one factor in a continuous improvement initiative's achievement. Leaders must display behaviors that show not only support for the initiative but also the behaviors they want to emulate from all staff. Managers often focus on whether they will meet their monthly or quarterly goals, and prioritizing improvements that will only have an effect in the longer term can be very hard. As a consequence, continuous improvement is about both mindset and behavior.

Difficulties - If they do not have the time or mental capacity to do so, no individual, team or company can implement change. The problem is that often it is the very issues that need to be resolved that create a sequence of "fires" that constantly distract executives from solving the root cause of their issues. Everyone has to work harder, not smarter, continuously.It's amazingly prevalent that there are no specified goals when we ask about continuous improvement goals, or they're not written down anywhere. We often hear about safety, productivity, or quality-related objectives, but there are no objectives intended to produce the atmosphere where all these measures are likely to improve. When Continuous Improvement is disappointing progress, we often discover that staff and leaders are not at the top of their minds. While occurrences of fast enhancement can be helpful, it must be a daily practice to flourish on continuous improvement.
