Performance Management, Recruitment Selection & Job Evaluation

Performance management set inside a working employee-relations structure — clear communication, trade unions handled well, and a system your managers can run.

The programme

Performance issues are where the relationship between employer and employee is most easily broken — and most managers walk into them without a structure. This course helps managers apply an effective performance management process within a wider employee relations framework, as the world of work continues to evolve around them. The cohort works through the strategic context of employee relations, the discipline of clear communication, working effectively with trade unions, the different approaches to raising performance, and progressive performance management principles — then turns to introducing a performance management system into their own organisation and building the practical skills to run it, alongside the recruitment, selection and job evaluation work the role demands.

What you will do

Set performance management inside the strategic employee-relations context, where the employment relationship is actually won or lost.
Communicate performance expectations with clarity, before issues harden into disputes.
Work effectively with trade unions on performance matters.
Apply progressive performance management principles, choosing deliberately among the approaches to raising performance.
Introduce an effective performance management system into your own organisation.
Manage performance conversations with practical skill, developed rather than assumed.

Who attends

  • Heads of HR and HR directors

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

How does the course link performance management to employee relations?

Performance issues are where the employment relationship breaks most easily, so the course sets performance management inside the wider employee-relations framework: the strategic context, the discipline of clear communication, and working effectively with trade unions. Managers then choose deliberately among the approaches to raising performance, using progressive performance management principles.

Will I be able to introduce a performance management system in my organisation?

That is the destination of the programme: the cohort works through introducing an effective performance management system into their own organisation and builds the practical skills to run it — alongside the recruitment, selection and job evaluation work the role demands, so selection acts as the front end of performance management.

Does the course provide legal advice on trade unions or discipline?

No — this is professional training in performance management and employee-relations practice, not legal advice; organisations should consult their own counsel on jurisdiction-specific employment law. BIZENIUS delivers the course in English and French, with in-house editions tailored to your organisation. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations on enquiry.
