Performance Management

Duration: 2hrs

The Performance Management course offers an in-depth exploration of effective performance management strategies in a professional setting. It begins by defining performance management, detailing its functioning and the essential tools involved. This foundation is expanded upon through a three-phase process, encompassing assessments and performance reviews, to establish a clear understanding of performance management practices. A significant emphasis is placed on goal setting, with a focus on the SMART criteria—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. This module not only instructs on setting effective goals but also on the crucial aspect of monitoring their results.

Further into the course, participants are guided on establishing performance goals, integrating strategies like strategic planning, job analysis, and motivation to set achievable objectives. The course introduces the concept of 360-degree feedback, contrasting it with traditional performance reviews and exploring its unique components. Competency assessments are also covered, offering insights into their implementation and ultimate goals. The Kolb’s Learning Cycle module highlights the importance of experience, observation, conceptualization, and experimentation in the learning process. Additionally, the course delves into motivating employees, discussing factors that contribute to a motivated organization and methods for identifying personal motivators.

Towards the end, it focuses on practical application, teaching how to maintain a Performance Journal and create a comprehensive performance plan, thereby equipping managers, HR professionals, and anyone involved in performance management with the tools to enhance employee performance and drive organizational success.
