Performance management is changing. Adapt your approach along with it.

For decades, performance management has been seen as an annual chore by managers and HR departments alike. But this process is changing, and there are ways to make it more effective at all levels of your organisation.

This book will inspire you to:

Overcome organisational bias to evaluate performance fairly

Sculpt employees' jobs to meet their skill sets and interests

Boost collaboration by aligning goals across functions

Use people analytics ethically and transparently

Help your people identify and use their strengths
