The Principles of Performance Management (Approved by CPD)

In any organisation, the traditional model of strict command and control wastes a significant amount
of time and money. Mutual trust, employee motivation and readiness to perform can easily be
undermined. Performance management, on the other hand, offers a different, much more effective
approach.

In formal terms, performance management involves the achievement of performance targets
through the effective management of people and the environment in which they operate. It’s about
setting achievable goals for the organisation and targets for individuals and teams.
