Performance Management: Implementing an Effective Performance Management System
Why Performance Management?
Performance management is the organized method that companies use to monitor the results of work activities, to measure and evaluate the performance of the employees, and to ensure that goals are met in an effective and efficient manner. According to Pulakos (2009), performance management is a key process that ensures that work gets done; and it is used by different organizations to communicate expectations and drive behavior towards achievement of important goals. For instance, ABC Company has offices in more than 50 countries across the globe and it employs over 40,000 employees from various cultural backgrounds, and it also deals with a diverse range of customers.

ABM involves identifying and evaluating specific activities that will be carried out to ensure performance objectives are achieved and that the performance improvements translate to the desired business outcomes.

ABM is beneficial to an organization because it supports excellence through the use of activities that compel the participants to understand how key performance indicators contribute to the success of the organization. It also guarantees performance improvement because it develops the skills of employees and contributes to their personal growth. Moreover, Stone (2009) states that performance centered frameworks and activity-based practices enable execution in the work setting, which is the 'secret sauce' to effective performance improvement.
