Performance management systems that include a lifecycle approach to employee development and performance appraisal are crucial to the maximization of personnel productivity and organizational effectiveness. PDRI research, both basic and applied, has provided a solid basis for developing and implementing innovative and comprehensive performance management systems for organizations in both the private and public sectors.
PDRI's philosophy is to assure that a performance management system differentiates among people according to important and relevant job dimensions. By accurately pinpointing individual strengths and weaknesses, well-made systems can provide precise feedback to employees about their performance and developmental needs. In addition to informing employees about critical job functions, expectations, and standards of performance, well-designed performance management systems also provide the basis for making operational human capital decisions (e.g., compensation) and improving communication between employees and managers.
