The course includes training on employee development, a joint effort between employers (or managers) and employees to ensure there are opportunities for individuals to learn new skills, refine existing skills, and build knowledge and experience. This not only leads to more engaged and productive staff, but also higher loyalty. This is important because not only does it boost morale and engagement, it also helps retain organizational expertise, and helps align employee and company goals.

The inclusion of performance development plans in the performance management certificate is vitally important as they are particularly important for ambitious employees who know the exact next role in the organization for which they are aiming.
They need to fully understand exactly what competencies and performance levels are required in order to achieve the promotion and be effective in that role. The performance plan should demonstrate a clear path for them to achieve this goal. Therefore it is important that for ambitious employees, the development plan does not merely focus on skills required for the current role.
This not only increases the employee motivation and loyalty to the company, but it also helps them to better understand their place in the company, and how their contribution helps both them and the company succeed together. Research indicated that providing employees with context gives more meaning to their work and helps improve overall performance throughout an organization.
How is the course delivered?
The Performance Management Certificate is delivered 100% online, including the exam. Students have up to six months to complete the 15-hour course which is comprised of video tutorials, case studies and e-books.
