Performance management training 'can serve holistic functions'
26 March 2009
Performance management training can allow companies to monitor staff achievement in a way which unifies many elements in a holistic fashion, a commentator asserts.
Angela Baron, adviser for organisation and resourcing at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), tells the People Bulletin that many organisations are moving performance management away from the stereotype of the bureaucratic exercise due to the higher level of integration between people and development.
She says companies have also begun to see it as a way of shaping talent.
Among the benefits she identifies is the fact that the human resources department can ensure that none of the effort made by the staff is lost by checking that workers are in tune with the core purpose of the firm.
Ms Baron states: "This prompts staff to be innovative and look for new ways to generate business or look for new opportunities."
In other news, recent research by the CIPD showed that two thirds of businesses have not cut their training budgets for 2009.
