Performance Management System

The performance management system is the appraisal system for the periodic evaluation of the performance of executives. It is based on a 360-degree feedback mechanism, which includes feedback from self, peers, subordinates, and superiors.

Difference Between Performance Management and Performance Appraisal

The difference between performance management and performance appraisal is that the former is based on continuous feedback, while the latter is just an evaluation of performance without any post or prior feedback.

Emerging Concepts in Performance Management

Emerging concepts include quality of work life, job enlargement and rotation, and 360-degree feedback.
