Standards of Performance are Key

In this episode, Julie shares how standards of performance are a vital foundation for any business. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it and standards provide a reference base for accountability across your business from the bottom to the top of the organisation. Julie explains the steps you need to follow and the 6 measures to use to set successful and impactful standards. This is a great episode that explains clearly not only why standards are key but exactly how to set them up in your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS A standard of performance is needed within any business regardless of size. It’s a yardstick, a thing that we measure the acceptability of an individual’s performance and goes across all areas of a business irrespective of hierarchy Standards are attached to tasks and can be raised but rarely lowered. If you can’t see it you can’t measure it and if you can’t measure it how can you establish a bottom line. Standards should form the foundation for your business and provide accountability so you can hold yourself and others to account. If performance falls below the minimum then support and a development plan should be given to raise performance to achieve at least the minimum standard. Setting standards gives baseline accountability and makes expectations clear to everyone.
