They will have concerns about how to perform the work, whether they are performing up to expectations, and whether they are gaining the necessary skills for advancement. A manager can facilitate career establishment by providing feedback on performance and on-the-job training. These activities can help employees get the job done while meeting their career development
needs. Companies such as Intel and Monsanto, for example, are effective at integrating
performance management processes with employee career development. They separate
the career development aspect of performance appraisal from the salary review
component, thus ensuring that employees’ career needs receive as much attention as
salary issues. Feedback and support interventions can increase employee performance,
satisfaction, and morale, and provide a systematic way to monitor the development of
human resources in the firm, at little or no cost.32
