This paper condenses extensive IES research into a concise, accessible and practical guide to the key considerations when implementing a performance management programme.
Of all HR practices, performance management systems appear to be almost universally embedded in organisational best practice. One CIPD survey found that 95 per cent of organisations have appraisals (Sung and Ashton, 2005). Assuming that organisations behave rationally, we might expect that they use appraisals because they benefit the organisation.
‘Values’ are all around us, especially these days in relation to employing organisations and behaviour at work. Corporate websites often proclaim ‘Our Values’ although many of them look pretty similar. Values sometimes also appear in recruitment information and other people management processes. Being seen to ‘Live the Values’ is a modern requirement for getting what you want, such as your performance bonus, or promotion.
This compilation of bite-sized essays by leading thinkers confronts and expands on existing thinking, plans, and practices in HR and employment. It will help HR leaders think about, plan for, and deal with these ‘known and unknown unknowns’, challenging modern fads, reinforcing some long-standing truths and offering original and practical insights.
