HR 610 Performance Management
Performance management is a continuous process of identifying, measuring, and developing the
performance of individuals and teams and aligning their performance with the strategic goals of the
organization. The information collected from the performance management system is also used to manage
employee performance, assess the achievement of strategic goals, and upper-management decision making.
The purpose of this course is to help students understand how to design and implement effective and
successful performance management systems. The course includes applied skill-building activities in the
areas of performance measurement, performance management system implementation, soft skills, and
performance-based reward systems. Throughout the course, learning will take place through a combination
of semi-formal lectures, case study analyses, assignments, and a team project.
