Performance management systems are designed to improve both individual and organisational performance by identifying what skills are needed to perform a role, providing regular feedback and assisting the employees in their career development. The overall aim is to equip staff with the competencies and commitment to deliver on shared organisational goals .
Performance management (PM) includes activities that ensure that goals are consistently being met in an effective and efficient manner. Performance management can focus on the performance of an organization, a department, employee, or even the processes to build a product or service, as well as many other areas.
Performance management systems are effective when they are based on goals that are jointly set and are driven by an organization's business strategy. The use of competency models that are based on business strategy is strongly associated with organizational effectiveness. When they drive salary increases and bonuses, they are executed better. Often absent but critical to the success of performance management systems is senior management leadership and ownership, much less important is ownership by HR.

Successful implementation of a performance management system (PMS) relies heavily on effective communication. Organizations must design a comprehensive communication plan to ensure proper return on investment. Satisfied and engaged employees will understand the purpose of performance management and how it relates to strategy, the benefits to participation, how it works and their responsibilities, and how the PMS will integrate with other systems such as training, rewards, and career advancement. Accounting, Inc., included several of these important components in their PMS communication plan. Unfortunately, the plan left some unanswered questions, including the underlying reasons and support for a new PMS and how it will integrate with current systems, which could result in knowledge gaps that impact implementation. In addition, the mode of communication was questionable at times, exuding a “top down” feel with limited opportunity for two-way communication. Unless these issue are corrected, Accounting, Inc., may not realize the full potential of their PMS.
Performance management is a process by which organisations align their resources, systems and employees to strategic objectives and priorities.
