Project examples include:

  • A process to link business goals to individual performance expectations.
  • A performance evaluation program (can be design of a new program or critique of a current program).
  • An employee training and development plan, as a follow-up to poor performance.
  • A Leadership training, coaching, and development program.
  • A Variable compensation plan supporting your performance management.
