An official response from Bestcare Manpower Services
At Bestcare Manpower Services, one of the most common questions we receive from clients considering staff outsourcing is: “How do performance reviews actually work when the employee is not directly on our payroll?” It is a fair and important question — and the answer reveals one of the key strengths of a well-structured outsourcing partnership.
A Shared Responsibility Model
Performance management for outsourced employees is not a one-sided affair. At Bestcare, we operate on a shared responsibility model, where both our agency and the client organization play clearly defined roles in evaluating employee performance.
The client provides the day-to-day direction, assigns tasks, and observes the employee’s output on the ground. Bestcare, in turn, handles the formal HR processes — including structured review cycles, documentation, and follow-up action plans. This ensures that the employee receives consistent, professional feedback while the client retains meaningful influence over standards and expectations.
The Review Process: Step by Step
Our performance review process for outsourced staff typically follows these stages:
- Goal Setting at Placement — When an employee is deployed, Bestcare works with the client to establish clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aligned with the role’s requirements.
- Continuous On-Site Feedback — Client supervisors provide regular informal feedback to the outsourced employee throughout the engagement. This keeps performance conversations timely and relevant.
- Periodic Formal Reviews — Bestcare schedules structured reviews — typically every three to six months — where client feedback is formally gathered, documented, and discussed with the employee.
- Bestcare HR Evaluation — Our internal HR team conducts a parallel assessment covering conduct, professionalism, compliance with labour standards, and alignment with Bestcare’s code of ethics.
- Action Planning — Where gaps are identified, Bestcare coordinates with the client to design improvement plans, arrange additional training, or, if necessary, initiate a replacement process.
Transparency and Communication
A cornerstone of our approach is transparency. Outsourced employees are never left uncertain about where they stand. Review outcomes are communicated directly to the employee by our HR team, ensuring they understand both the client’s expectations and Bestcare’s own standards.
“Performance management is not just a checkbox exercise — it is how we protect our clients’ productivity and uphold the dignity of every worker we place. At Bestcare Manpower Services, we believe that when an employee knows they are seen, supported, and held to a clear standard, they consistently deliver their best. Our review process is built on that conviction.”
