The expert refuted the role of KPI as a motivation tool

Natalia Garshina, an expert on organizational development, said that KPIs are often perceived as a motivation tool, although in fact they only set the direction of work.

In conversation with the agency RuNews24.Ru On May 19, she noted that when financially linked without taking into account the individual characteristics of employees, a "minimum syndrome" occurs when people perform only the necessary amount of tasks without unnecessary effort.

Garshina emphasized that the pursuit of quantitative indicators without assessing quality often leads to formalism and imitation of activity. She added that KPIs should be linked to real business value, and not used for the sake of reporting.

The expert also noted that the result becomes random without well-established processes, resources and controls. In her opinion, the indicators need to be integrated into the management system and monitor not only the outcome, but also the work process itself.

In addition, Garshina noted that KPIs are not capable of stimulating initiative by themselves: the corporate environment is important for this — trust, support and the opportunity to make mistakes. As a result, according to her, KPIs are a tool for focusing, not a substitute for management, and it is important for a manager to work with a team rather than hiding behind numbers.

According to her, one of the common mistakes is to focus the conversation solely on personal circumstances.
