Effective performance management is the key to leveraging employee talent and creativity in a dynamic 21st century workplace. When done correctly, it becomes fundamental to an organization's ability to select, train, retain, reward, and motivate the right talent in the right ways to execute strategy. This course focuses on performance management as a contribution to organizational strategy, linking all the elements of organizational success into a single, aligned approach. Students will learn how to design practices and administer a system that fully engages, and optimizes the performance of employees in the success of the enterprise.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, students will:

  • Identify the purposes of performance management within an organization.

  • Align and integrate specific performance management practices within the context of an organization's overall talent philosophy.
  • Design and implement a performance management system for simplicity and impact.
  • Translate organizational strategy and goals into individual performance measures and
  • Assess performance (their own as well as those of classmates) through a simulation of an organization's performance management model.
