Techopedia Explains Performance Management System

A performance management system can be set up in different ways. A typical system may include useful resources for asking questions about performance and for tracking actual production or productivity. It may also have a dashboard that allows users to create reports.

An important issue with performance management systems is how useful these systems are in actual business processes. Performance management is often associated with employee evaluations and reviews, which can be subjective to perform. This negatively affects the adoption of performance management systems, as a result.
