The basics: The mwah. Process for Managing Performance
Managing performance is fundamentally about how we go about doing great work together. It’s about setting expectations and letting people know how they’re doing —both at an individual level and also across a whole team. This is a critical process to get right so that teams can work together as effectively as possible and positively impact the business and the wider community. That’s why Managing Performance is one of our five Signature Core People Processes. The others are Recruitment, Reward, Change, and Talent.
