Product Description

Product Description
A discussion of performance management, featuring research findings and practical guidelines. It is designed for human resources managers whose aim is that their organization gets the very best results from people.

From the Inside Flap
Managing staff performance is an effective mechanism for developing both staff and organizational growth. By clarifying an organization’s objectives, translating these into clear individual goals, and reviewing these goals regularly, performance management provides a well-structured and effective management tool.

In this revised and updated third edition, Armstrong incorporates the findings of two major research projects on performance management and illustrates the results with numerous case studies, providing invaluable advice from experienced practitioners.

Performance Management provides the ideal action plan for any manager wanting to get the best from his or her employees. It is packed with detailed, practical advice on topics that include:

• the basis of performance management;
• performance management processes;
• measuring performance;
• 360-degree feedback;
• managing organizational performance;
• performance management and pay;
• the practice of performance management.

4.0 out of 5 stars Palatable alternative to yearly performance approvals, 11 Jun 2007
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you've ever worked for a large corporation, you can probably recall feeling apprehensive as you walked into your boss's office for your annual review. You can probably also identify with your employees' fears that they might leave your office after a review feeling disappointed and bewildered, their raises up in smoke and their confidence shaken. Thus you and your staff may think of employee evaluations as a necessary evil. Author Michael Armstrong suggests a more palatable alternative. Instead of traditional, yearly performance appraisals, Armstrong advocates performance management, a user-friendly system that emphasizes collaboration between manager and employee. If you plan and execute it properly, performance management can help you monitor and encourage employee development over the long term, and avoid the unpleasant, confrontational experience of an annual evaluation. Armstrong has a tendency to repeat himself, but that really doesn't detract from the wealth of practical advice he offers. He uses charts, subheadings and bullet points to make his ideas clear. We believe that if you're a human resource executive, a manager or an employee who would rather undergo a root canal than another yearly performance appraisal, this is the book for you.
