            <p>Performance management is a critical organizational function that goes far beyond the simple tracking of completed tasks. An effective system is built upon a clear understanding of what constitutes job performance, encompassing not only core duties but also citizenship behaviors and the mitigation of counterproductive actions. By exploring the foundations of these systems, organizations can identify the key decisions necessary to design a structure that aligns individual efforts with broader strategic goals. This course examines the core purpose of performance management and the multifaceted benefits a well-structured approach brings to both the employer and the employee.</p>

<p>Moving from theory to practice, the design of a performance management system requires a deep dive into the appraisal process and the mechanisms of feedback. Determining the frequency of evaluations—whether through immediate feedback or traditional annual reviews—is essential for fostering continuous development and informed decision-making. Furthermore, the selection of evaluators, ranging from supervisors and peers to the comprehensive 360-degree feedback model, plays a pivotal role in the perceived fairness and effectiveness of the system. Ensuring the reliability and validity of these assessments is paramount to maintaining accuracy and trust, ultimately transforming the appraisal from a mere administrative task into a powerful tool for professional growth and organizational excellence.</p>
