Structure records of hybrid performance management so that they answer the questions an auditor will actually ask.
Managing Performance in Hybrid and Distributed Work Environments
A senior-level treatment of hybrid performance management, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
A process for hybrid performance management that managers quietly work around has already failed. Policy on the practice within people management and development is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. It concentrates on the parts of the people management and development capability that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Buying a tool rarely fixes hybrid performance management; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The professional literature on the wider people management and development agenda converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this part of people management and development and supervised application. Participants gain a realistic view of what hybrid performance management costs and what it returns. The level assumes working familiarity with the workforce but no prior formal training in the practice within people management and development. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of people management and development that would make a visible difference.
