title: Getting high on performance!
abstract: The success of the NICU depends in large part on the manager's ability to continuously identify the high, middle, and low performers on the unit. To retain top performers, the manager must ensure a challenging work environment paired with zero tolerance for substandard performance. Middle performers need positive recognition and the opportunity to stretch for improved performance. Once employees have been categorized, the manager needs to consistently develop performance improvement plans for each one.
