Performance Management

About the Course

In today's complex world, gaining access to the competition's technology and products is easy. So, what makes some businesses more successful than others? The answer is people. Companies with motivated and talented employees offering outstanding customer service are likely to get ahead of the competition, even if the products offered are like those provided by the competitors. Every Manager is judged on performance. Continually improving the team's performance is essential to the Manager's role. The daily strategies, actions and behaviours have a marked impact on the team. Therefore, performance management's goal is to create an environment where people can perform to the best of their abilities and produce the highest-quality work most efficiently and effectively.  

Per­for­mance Man­age­ment is a con­tin­u­ous process — not a once-a-year activ­i­ty. Qual­i­ty per­for­mance man­age­ment should, there­fore, bring togeth­er a num­ber of dif­fer­ent, inte­grat­ed activ­i­ties to form an ongo­ing “per­for­mance man­age­ment cycle”. This includes set­ting indi­vid­ual and team goals which are aligned to the strate­gic goals of the organ­i­sa­tion, plan­ning per­for­mance to achieve the goals, review­ing and assess­ing progress, and devel­op­ing the knowl­edge, skills, and abil­i­ties of peo­ple.

Performance management, therefore, is a communication process by which managers and employees work together to plan, monitor, and review an employee’s work objectives and overall contribution to the organisation.
