Employee Performance Management Systems: Checklist for Identifying Weaknesses and Planning Improvements

Many performance management systems are not performing. APQC created this checklist for organizations seeking to improve. The items on the checklist are organized into four sections:

1. Design—structuring the system for success, 
2. Prepare—building commitment and competence, 
3. Implement—adhering to the plan, and 
4. Evaluate—identifying areas for improvement.
