Do you know if your team's goals are consistently being met? Or if the individuals in your team are performing at their peak?

After explaining the nature and benefits of performance management, this course outlines the five phases of a performance management system: planning, monitoring, improving, reviewing, and rewarding. It then explains what you need to do in the planning phase. It shows you how to recognize critical success factors and develop key performance indicators based on these.

Having established performance expectations, you will now have a basis for implementing the other components of the performance management system.
