Why managers need training in Performance Management

When an organization develops and implements a performance management system, managers take on new responsibilities:

  • Setting meaningful performance objectives
  • Ability to use the documentation for setting performance objectives
  • Conducting effective performance evaluations for determining performance-based merit increases and incentive payouts
  • Communicating pay-for-performance concepts to staff
  • Managing performance, including:
    • Ongoing reporting and accountability
    • Effective coaching and managing with emotional intelligence
    • Joint responsibility with direct reports for their professional development.

The issues are universal – how to improve the performance management system and the supporting management processes.
