Project Summary: As a current or future human resource (HR) professional, you should be able to review an organization’s culture and determine what type of performance management instruments, tools, and methods will best fit the needs of the company. These tools are sometimes application-based, practical, pragmatic, and at times, they are paper- or human resource information systems (HRIS)-based. Furthermore, when management asks for assistance with determining the best instruments, tools and methods for their organization, HR managers should respond with up-to-date knowledge on current trends and current industry best practices.
