Performance management helps to ensure that individual, team, and organizational goals are consistently met in a timely, efficient, and effective manner, in accordance with the organization's strategy, and its vision, mission, and values. Individual performance ultimately impacts the bottom line and enhances organizational performance. Effective performance management provides appropriate context, sets expectations, corrects problems, provides employees with much needed feedback, and helps facilitate managerial decisions relating to compensation, training and development, promotions and transfers, succession management, career planning, and termination of employment.
Designed as a guide for human resources practitioners, managers, and other stakeholders, the Human Resources Guide to Managing Performance in the Workplace addresses the specific conditions that apply in today's organizations including lower employee morale and engagement scores, tight budgets, lack of resources, minimal investment in training and development, a changing workforce, constantly changing technology, and business practices, demands to continually increase shareholder value, and widespread dissatisfaction with the performance management process among managers, employees, and executives. Practical tools, checklists, and examples are included throughout the book.
