This course explores the dimensions of performance management systems and their role in the effective management of people in organisations. These insights will be of value to managers in all industries including government, charities and Not for Profits, for organisations of any size and in all functional areas. Improving the understanding of people at work and how to enhance their performance will enable all managers to be more effective. Individuals and groups instinctively aspire to strong results and are willing to commit to heightened efforts over an extended period to achieve these outcomes. Managers sometimes face the challenge of refocusing efforts when performance has failed to meet goals and objectives and in business today downsizing issues are often encountered; a good example is the decline of the Australian automotive industry and the reality for managers and employees in that industry now and in the period 2015-2017. Ford, Toyota and G-M Australia may survive in the long term but what will be required and how will they change to remain effective? You will be encouraged to engage in discussions and the various activities throughout the lectures and tutorials. These discussions will enhance your learning and develop your communication skills.
