Low Performers Know How to Hide


You may be surprised to learn that the low performers often report greater job satisfaction than their top performing counterparts. The reason seems to be that low performers know how to hide.

Your poor performing employees keep to themselves and maintain a low profile. They are not very productive but are not noticed. A pretty good deal for them…but bad for the morale of harder working employees and the organization as a whole.

And the top performers? They are stressed out. They are the ones who are asked to do the bulk of the work because they are visible, reliable and provide desired results. This situation is not healthy for them nor for the company.

Make sure that your performance management training, processes and systems ferret out the low performers and either bring them up to higher standards or help them move on.

Otherwise, you risk losing your top talent.
