Text Content


A performance system provides employees and managers with a framework for goal setting, constructive feedback, continuous skill development and regular discussions about performance. This helps reduce the chance of underperformance occurring. A performance system doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. To implement best practice in your workplace you could consider:

  • expectations - discuss your performance system during induction, training and in staff communications - this will help make performance a regular part of workplace conversations
  • performance agreement templates - create a simple performance agreement template for your workplace
  • discussions - meet with employees to set clear performance expectations, discuss and record their individual performance goals and training needs
  • feedback - monitor employees' performance and provide regular, specific feedback, in a timely manner, about things they do well and things they can improve on
  • training - support employee's skills and performance through training, coaching and mentoring fairwork.gov.au | Fair Work Infoline: 13 13 94 | ABN: 43 884 188 232
