Managing Employee Performance

The University of Minnesota examines performance management as a system that needs both design and implementation. Tools and review processes connect with the culture in which feedback occurs. It suits learners who want to move beyond an annual form and understand how expectations, evaluation and development fit together.

What you will learn

• Design a performance-management process.
• Compare tools for evaluating and developing performance.
• Connect feedback practices with workplace culture.

Who this suits

Learners exploring HR or people-management practice; review the organizational examples and assignments before beginning.

Before you enroll

Course examples need to be adapted to the organization, location and current employment rules. Use fictional or anonymized employee data for practice, and review the suitability of any AI tool before sharing workplace information or using its output in a people-related decision.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Draft a fictional performance-review process and check whether its criteria are observable, relevant to the role and connected with useful development actions.
