The 328-page book, Performance Management, by Lisa R. Franke, CCP, SPHR, explores how HR professionals have helped to achieve their organizational objectives through the use of performance management systems.

"When employees have a common vision, work together toward goals that support business strategy and are recognized and rewarded accordingly, the bottom line is enhanced," said Franke.

  • Pay for performance
  • Recognition
  • Employee development
  • Discipline and termination
  • Legally defensible performance management

The high cost of employee turnover, and the need for top performing employees in today’s competitive business environment make retention a critical issue for organizations of any size.
