Book excerpt: Armstrong on Reinventing Performance Management presents a holistic approach to performance management, drawing on Michael Armstrong's vast research and experience. Most organizations have performance management processes in one form or another, but these are often based on formal annual reviews, forced rankings and directly linked to pay decisions. These traditional approaches are often at the expense of ongoing, continuous feedback and focus on looking back at what has or has not been achieved rather than looking forward. Direct links to pay decisions avert attention from people development, and managers often get lost in the bureaucracy of complex forms rather than fully engaging with their people. Armstrong on Reinventing Performance Management details how to build a culture of ongoing feedback and coaching and provides case studies of how this approach to building performance has been effective in organizations including Deloitte, Gap, Expedia and Google. Filled with practical advice, including how to deal with underperformers, it enables organizations to remove overly bureaucratic and ineffective systems based on top-down judgments and ratings, and demonstrates how to get line managers' support for the process focusing on actionable feedback and growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The e-reward 2014 survey of performance management found that the three major concerns of respondents - all about line managers - were: 1. The lack of line managers with the skills required to carry out performance management effectively. 2. Line managers who don't discriminate sufficiently when assessing performance. 3. Line managers who were reluctant to conduct performance management reviews.Many organizations are aware of this and do provide training for their line managers but the focus tends to be on the skills required to manage the performance of people rather than how to ensure that the system works well because of the commitment and expertise of line managers. This toolkit provides a complete set of customizable tools to facilitate active learning sessions including discussion, practical exercises and role plays, as well as handouts, slides and notes so that you can be sure that you have everything that you need to train managers efficiently and effectively in performance management. It will help organizations increase the effectiveness of their performance management systems through building acceptance of the need for performance management, commitment to it, an understanding of how it works and the skills required.The toolkit is organized into eight learning modules, each covering an aspect of performance management. Each of these can stand alone as formal learning programmes but the contents of the modules constitute a menu from which a selection of the presentations and exercises can be made to build specially constructed programmes or e-learning material.

Book excerpt: Managing performance is a critical focus of HR activity. Well-designed strategies to recognise and improve performance and focus individual effort can have a dramatic effect on bottom-line results.
