Effective performance management is at the heart of organizational success, delivering able and motivated employees who are aligned to an organization's values and goals. Using a combination of case studies, interviews, tools and diagnostic questionnaires, Performance Management is a complete and practical guide to getting the best out of people and achieving positive organizational outcomes through successful performance management.

It covers all areas of the subject, from objective-setting, giving feedback, measuring performance and managing underperformance and absence, to effectively integrating systems and processes into organizational and HR strategies.

This second edition of Performance Management contains new material on the ethical focus of the topic, promoting employee wellbeing through performance management, and the future of the annual appraisal, as well as new case studies and examples from Deloitte, Jumeirah Hotels, the CIPD and Hilton. Supporting online resources consist of additional activities and guidance for further research on the topic.

HR Fundamentals is a series of succinct, practical guides for students and those in the early stages of their HR careers. They are endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the UK professional body for HR and people development, which has over 145,000 members worldwide.

Industry Reviews

It should be read by anyone who aspires to deliver outstanding results by aligning business goals with the full potential of the organization to achieve them" * Steve Gatfield, former CEO, Lowe Worldwide and EVP, Interpublic Group (about a previous edition) *
"Linda Ashdown's book comprises a very useful addition to the performance management literature. It places performance management in context, and both the current examples and historical backdrop aid understanding. The book is clearly written, unpacks some complex concepts and issues, and will be accessible to a diverse readership. The in-chapter exercises, including case studies and diagnostic questionnaires, should help to bring out practical applications of the subject area via discussion and independent study" * Dr Ray French, Professor in Organizational Behavior, Portsmouth Business School (about a previous edition) *
