The document discusses performance management systems and performance appraisal. It explains that performance management systems take a systematic approach to improving individual and team performance in an organization, and include strategic functions like resource planning and organizational development as well as transactional functions like recruitment and selection. Performance appraisal evaluates and measures an individual's performance and helps categorize high and low performers so that low performers can receive training and high performers can be rewarded. Performance management differs from performance appraisal in that it involves continuous monitoring, setting clear objectives, and regular feedback throughout the performance cycle. An effective performance management system comprises forecasting, planning, controls, and reporting to improve policies, programs, and outcomes.
