This unit explores performance management in organisations from individual and team perspectives, as a vital part of the employer-employee relationship.  Increasing employee and employer expectations in recent times makes performance management necessary and relevant.  The unit provides a solid grounding in the performance management process by using a top down approach which is accessible and practical.  Case studies and discussions are used together with contemporary readings and activities relevant to the public and private sectors.

The unit will greatly assist students whether they are preparing for employment or already working.  The critical link to strategic human resource management processes is emphasised throughout.
