Performance management article

Performance management systems continue to be in the spotlight of current HR issues. See: "Straight Talk About Job Appraisals" where Derek Stockley is quoted along with others in an August 2004 feature in Management Today, the national magazine of the Australian Institute of Management (AIM). To avoid the pitfalls highlighted in the article, see: Performance Management (PM).

This PM approach is summarised in Issue 2.7 of Human Capital Australia magazine (published July 2004) - see "Get what you give" (large PDF file).
