Performance management is ongoing process of communication between the employees
and supervisors or human resources management in order to accomplish the business objectives.
It is the corporate management tools that helps in evaluate the performance of employees
regarding their work and monitors by managers. The performance management helps in create

the better environment where employees perform their best and produce high quality work
effectively and efficiently. The communication process in performance management includes the
setting objectives, clarify expectations, providing feedback, identifying goals and reviewing
results (Franco‐Santos and Otley, 2018). The performance management helps managers and
employees to see about the goals, career progress and expectations of individuals with the
workers align with the vision of company. Business manager can use the performance
management tools to make the other decision, adjust work flow, and recommend the new actions
that helps employees to achieve their goals and objectives.
The performance management program helps in make align with the employees activities

of employees. It helps in define the job developments plan, however the supervisors and
employees define their specific job duties because ensure that how they will use their knowledge

Performance management cycle
The performance management cycle is the performance management strategy. It is
models that allow employees and business management to better achieve business goals with the
structured process of employee developments. The cycle consists the four step procedures such
as planning, monitoring, reviewing and rewarding. These methods of performance management
helps in enhance the structural flexibility, competitiveness, high employees motivation and
performance of employees. It is the best ways to improve the performance of employees. The
performance management cycle as discuss below:
 Planning: In the planning stage, the management team plan before talk to employees,
they should meet and discuss the goals and objectives of business for the year (Tudose
and Avasilcai, 2021). The planning stage involves the whole strategy for business with
the personal objectives of teams and employees, including specific task, developments
goals, target behaviours and actions. Firstly, management now about the details of project

planning that they want employees to achieve. In the collaborative process, managers
meet with employees and make strategic plan for year.
For example: managers should plan about harmless products projects and its details with the
overall strategy as well as set goals and objectives that achive by business employees. The
manager of boost company meet will meet with employees and ensure that planning also helps in
employees developments plans. At begin stage of performance management cycle, business
management get opportunity to identify the training and developments in employees.
 Monitoring: it is the key function for achieving the goals and objectives set out in the
beginning stage. In the stage, managers meet with employees on a quarterly and monthly
basis to check the performance progress of employees. Its is essential in business to
monitor the performance of employees. In this stage, problem may arise from poor
planning and lack of motivation so management also need to motivate employees and
provide them training and developments so business can easily oversee process.
For example: Boots company management needs to monitor the performance of employees in
new project. Evaluate that employees take interest in harmless products projects or not as well as
analysis the progress of project by monitoring stage of performance management cycle.
 Reviewing: Reviewing is the another opportunities for management to build a
collaboration with employees. It is the chance for management and employees to evaluate
about the both final result and new project process report.
For example: human resources management can review the performance and progress of project
with the actual plan about project (Helmold and Samara, 2019). Management provide feedback
to employees regarding the performance and that helps in exceed the performance of employees
to achieve the project goals and objectives.
 Rewarding: It is the final stage in the performance management cycle. This stage is
essential for employees motivation. It helps in met the goals and objectives of business
so, company needs to recognition the employees efforts and it ensures employees that
they should continuously work hard to achieve business goals.
For example: management should provide rewards to those employees who contribute more
towards the harmless cosmetic products. Boots management can offer one time bonus,
promotion, increase holiday time, etc.

Evaluate development vehicles
There are three different development vehicles and 3 drivers to analysis the performance of
employees within the organization.
360 degree feedback: A 360 degree review is the talent development tools that are used to
provide the feedbacks from all the directions. It is mainly known as the multi rare feedback. It is

individuals.

2018). This is the right strategy to improve the performance of employees and there are
always requirements of improvement in business for employees motivation.

distrust in leaders as well as it is the time-consuming process.

It is the strategic model that main purpose is to improve the performance of business by clear
objectives that are agreed by the both management and employees within the Boots company.
This model encourages the managers and employee and both are working towards the goals
(Francis, 2018). It allows managers to clearly communicate that they expect from the business
employees, and they must feel involve in the setting of business goals.
