MANAGEMENT POLICY
To implement the quality management principles and requirements for refining performance and consistently achieving goals and client’s satisfaction. The purpose of an effective performance of Management Policy for employees is to have a clear understanding of the work expected from them, to receive ongoing feedback regarding how they are performing relative to expectations, to distribute rewards accordingly, to identify development opportunities, and to address performance that does not meet expectations.
A comprehensive performance management system empowers employees to have greater input to their personal career progression and will enable managers to better identify, recognize, and reward individuals based upon an agreed set of criteria. MEC strives to provide an environment where all employees understand the impact their contributions have on the achievement of our goals and are provided the opportunity for ongoing personal growth.
One way we can accomplish this goal is through a strong performance based Management Policy that culminates in an annual performance review.
