Course description:
Managing staff performance is a widely used human resource management practice whose main purpose is to measure performance through an assessment based on the employee's performance as well his/her potential for progress and development. Specifically, it consists of a process of identifying and recording the employee's performance in relation to the requirements of the job for which he/she is intended. An good staff evaluation and performance management approach aims at the effective, objective and systematic evaluation of staff through the assessment of the employees' skills required to in order to:

In the post-crisis era, many organizations have begun to question their existing performance management systems and have made major revisions/changes/installations of new systems. These are based on current trends, surveys and good practices that derive from many years of using such systems. Consequently, all those involved in the implementation of such an evaluation should acquire or develop the knowledge and skills required, so that they can not only implement it properly, but can also make a constructive contribution in its correct application where it concerns their own responsibilities or their own department.
