PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

New guide to performance management by SHRM

Performance management systems can deliver sustained success to organisations by improving the performance of the people who work in them and by developing the capabilities of team and individual contributors. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of systems that fall flat. To help you deliver maximum results from the performance review process, the US-based Society for Human Resource Management has published a new comprehensive resource.

Performance Appraisal Source Book: A collection of practical samples, by Mike Deblieux, takes the HR professional from planning a review system through implementation and post-review procedures.

"Well-designed and implemented performance reviews clarify job duties and expectations, discuss past performances and create blueprints for future success for the employee in the organisation," says the SHRM - the CIPD's equivalent in the US.

What you will find in this resource

More than 40 sample forms for all types of performance reviews, from introductory through 360-degree, to upward evaluations.

Forms in hard copy and electronic format, as PDFs and RTFs, on a CD-ROM.

Chapters covering the basics of performance review systems and plans: plan design, legal considerations, implementation, presenting reviews, and follow-up.

Material to help design new plans checklists to examine the organisation, the workforce, and the current system sample questionnaires for employees and supervisors.
