Plymouth Performance Management Training

/// Intended For:

Anyone involved in the performance management or appraisal process.


Performance management is about establishing a culture in which individuals and groups take responsibility for the continuous improvement of business processes and of their own skills, behaviour and contributions.

Often treated like a box ticking exercise, effective performance management is actually fundamental to achieving a successful business. Performance management is not a fixed sequence of events, but a continuous process that constantly adapts to the needs of the team. The organisation that embraces effective performance management is creating a strategic advantage in the marketplace.

The key aim of the performance management process is to develop the team to assist the organisation in achieving its objectives.

This interactive one-day training course has the following content:

What is Performance Management? - Developing an understanding of what Performance Management is and how we embed it into the culture of the organisation.
