Performance Management eLearning Video Program

(Included in Corporate Programs Suite)

Course Overview:

By making proper use of performance management you can ensure that each and every employee in your organization is simultaneously working towards their individual potential while advancing the overall strategic goals of the organization itself. The course gives managers a step-by-step process on how to set performance goals, communicate expectations, measure progress, provide feedback, and finally how to adjudicate performance management goals, and prepare for the formal employee evaluation.

The performance management course explains how to motivate employees towards self-improvement and towards accomplishing the organization’s strategic goals. The sessions clarify that evaluation and feedback are critical tools for helping to ensure that your employees are on the right track at all times, for themselves, their department, and for the organization as a whole. The sessions take participants through the process of cultivating productive employees through evaluations and ongoing, timely feedback. We realize that without appropriate communication of performance objectives, the formal evaluation process falls apart. Performance management encompasses providing feedback to employees based on the three key fundamental areas of performance based on expectations, conduct and behavior, as well as attendance adherence.

Because one of the fundamental pillars of performance management is the formal performance evaluation, it outlines the process for conducting an effective formal employee evaluation. This ensures that all formal evaluations are delivered with consistency and handled with proper care and that they follow guidelines and procedures.

An organization whose individuals are all moving in the same direction, towards common goals, and who are motivated in doing so, is a strong organization. By embracing the principles of performance management, you can achieve this accomplishment in your organization.
