Introduction To Management

Hi Jess

Thank you for your very interesting question. A good staring point could be the following resource from the CIPD. It provides an overview of Performance Management the tools required to connect

To access the resource you will need to register with the website - this is free.

you may also find some useful links in the associated article on Workforce planning

The website www.businessballs.com is a very practical resource. For example they have a sample goal setting form which might prove a useful starting point.

For example there is a very detailed section on performance appraisals which again could provide some useful ideas.

I hope this is helpful - let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
