Setting Up a Performance Management and Appraisal System Central Area, Central

Course details

More and more organisations are now linking the pay system with the performance appraisal system. The key to successful linkage is to require the performance appraisal system to be a credible measuring tool of employee performance. Otherwise, employees will have no confidence in how the organisation rewards them, leading to dissatisfaction, grievances and morale problems after every appraisal exercise. What must organisations do and how can they refine the procedure and system of performance appraisal in order to be regarded as rewarding fairly?

Despite the connection between pay and performance, the key purpose of a performance management and appraisal system is to meet organisational targets and in the process develop the employees. How can the performance appraisal system be linked to the training and development process effectively? This course will share with you the tips for setting up such an important system.
