1.Establish clear performance goals: Communicate with subordinates to ensure that they understand and accept their job performance standards, and ensure that goals are clear and unambiguous so that subordinates know how to achieve them.
2.Provide the necessary training and support: Check if the subordinate lacks the necessary skills or knowledge to complete the job task. Provide training and support to help subordinates overcome difficulties and improve their performance.
3.Establish clear rewards and punishments: For subordinates who have been performing poorly for a long time, consider establishing clear rewards and punishments to motivate them to improve their performance, while also giving appropriate punishments to ensure that they can recognize the seriousness of the problem.
4.Look for root causes: Gain insight into what your subordinates are doing and the reasons behind them, looking for potential problems that are causing poor performance. Sometimes, the cause of poor performance can be due to external circumstances or personal problems.
5.Consider transferring or developing: If a subordinate is chronically underperforming and neither effort nor support is improving their performance, then it may be necessary to consider whether to transfer or develop another role to find a role that is a better fit for them.
In short, you should patiently provide support and guidance to your subordinates who have been performing poorly for a long time, and communicate openly with them. At the same time, it is also important to clarify goals and reward and punishment mechanisms to motivate them to improve their performance. Most importantly, be patient and trusting, trusting your subordinates to improve their performance.
