Communicating the Standards Set for an Employee

Question

What do you mean by Communicating the Standards Set for an Employee?

Answer 1

Once the standards for performance are set it should be communicated to the concerned employee, about what it expected from them in terms of performance. It should not be part of the employees’ job to estimate what they are expected do. Communication is said to be two ways street, mere passing of information to subordinate does not mean that the work is done. Communication only takes place when the information given has taken place and has been received and understood by subordinate. If necessary, the standards may be tailored or revised in the light of feedback obtained from the employees.
