performance management
Workplace effectiveness tracking
Performance management is the ongoing process of setting goals, monitoring progress, and evaluating employees within an organization.
It encompasses feedback, coaching, and formal reviews aimed at improving individual and team effectiveness.
Beyond simple appraisal, performance management links employee development to organizational objectives: The new performance management system replaced annual reviews with continuous feedback.
