Certificate in Agile Performance Management & Performance Appraisals

Managing and measuring performance, and managing appraisal ratings in order to attract, retain and motivate your top-performing employees

Sign Up for Our Professional Agile Performance Management & Appraisals Training

Discover the new trend of monthly milestones via MSCs rather than annual goals via KPls through our performance management training

Why Attend?

Establishing and managing a performance management culture, determining Key Results Areas (KRAs), setting objectives and the traditional Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or the traditional Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), adopting the new agile approach of setting monthly milestones and using agile Must-Do, Could-Do and Should-Do targets (MSCs), and establishing the right competencies and behaviours for all the roles in an organisation are some of the critical cornerstones of any HR department. It is crucial to design and define the right performance management system that supports your business objectives and encourages the development of each individual employee. HR professionals already know that individual performance management is an important tool for improving organisational performance.

This performance management course shows in a practical way how you can build and implement an agile individual performance management system working successfully, and how to achieve and implement a culture of performance management.

Benefits Of Attending

  • Learn about the truths and myths concerning the “Death of Performance Appraisals” and discover the new trend of monthly milestones via MSCs rather than annual goals via KPls

  • Understand the three critical components of an effective performance management system - setting objectives, measuring competencies and planning development

  • Increase business and employee performance by developing clear and SMART objectives in the new format of MSCs which explain to your employees what is expected of them

  • Implement a pay-for-performance culture as a key component of your HR strategy by aligning your performance appraisal system and rating scale with your annual pay reviews

Learning Objectives

Agile Performance Management

  • Establishing and managing a performance management culture, determining Key Results Areas (KRAs), setting objectives and the traditional Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or the traditional Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), adopting the new agile approach of setting monthly milestones and using agile Must-Do, Could-Do and Should-Do targets (MSCs), and establishing the right competencies and behaviours for all the roles in an organisation are some of the critical cornerstones of any HR department.

Performance Appraisals and Rating

  • Individual performance appraisals help you manage the performance of each employee in your organisation. However, unless you clearly link a performance appraisal to corporate goals and see it as part of the responsibilities of an effective manager, it can be nothing more than a tick-box paper exercise.
