Performance management is the process of using data to systematically improve business performance. It integrates data from multiple sources, provides personalized information to employees, and empowers fact-based decision making. Performance management works best when work is planned, expectations are clear, and there is a system of rewards for good performance and consequences for poor performance that includes consistent feedback. It also involves providing employees opportunities to grow and develop, with rewards and greater responsibilities based on qualifications. Standards address job competencies while unacceptable behaviors involve violence, inappropriate language, insubordination, and policy or rule violations.
