Performance Management (HR201)

Human resource departments are being called upon to make greater, more measurable contributions to their organization's bottom line. Few HR initiatives are seen to contribute more to an organization's productivity and profitability than a comprehensive, effective performance management system. HR practitioners must stay on top of the performance management challenges faced with both internal and external change, best practices, as well as new directions in performance management processes as seen in organizations such as General Electric, Google, and Hewlett Packard.
