Understanding Performance Management

Explore the performance management cycle, recognise that people perform differently and utilise tools and techniques available

Understanding Performance Management is a practical continuing professional development (CPD) module aimed at registered managers and other managers currently working in adult social care services.

This CPD module will help managers to explore the performance management cycle, recognise that people perform differently and utilise tools and techniques available. Unlike undertaking formal qualifications, which can often feel like a solitary process, this CPD module connects managers with their peers. Managers will understand how successful behaviours and practical strategies can support them in their day-to-day work. They’ll be challenged to put these into practice, boosting their capacity to lead and manage effectively.

The module includes an emphasis on reflection, helping managers to learn from their day-to-day experiences and think about how they can do things differently or get better at recognising what they do well.

The course aims to:

• Explore and scrutinise the key principles, expectations and purpose of effective performance management. • Identify leadership behaviours, strategies and tools that support effective performance management. • Understand the importance of effective performance management in nurturing accountability at every level.
