Employees can improve their performance at work by agreeing on performance indicators in consultation with their managers. Research carried out by PhD student Bianca Groen at the University of Twente shows that both employees and managers consider the quality of the performance indicators they develop together to be higher. This is partly because employees can identify better with jointly made performance indicators. Managers are pleased with this effect, as it gives employees more room to apply their specific knowledge.
