work performance

How you deliver

Work performance is how well someone does their job—the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of their work activities.

It encompasses meeting deadlines, achieving goals, and fulfilling responsibilities: Her work performance has improved since the training.

The term appears frequently in employment contexts: performance reviews, performance metrics, performance improvement plans.

Poor work performance may lead to termination; strong work performance to advancement.
