Performance management is not an annual performance review meeting.
It’s also not preparing for that meeting, nor is it a self-evaluation.
And it’s definitely not a performance review form, or a performance management tool.

The performance management process creates an organizational climate where people are empowered to perform to the best of their abilities.
This is not to be confused with ‘satisfied’ or ‘happy’ employees, as satisfied employees do not seek to drive business results and happy employees impact organizational climate but may lack commitment to organizational goals.
So organizational decision makers (like yourself) must focus their efforts on improving employee engagement through proper goal setting and aligning employees with the company strategy to achieve sustainable business growth.
