Due to technical difficulties, we've moved the former perfmgt list to a new location, to start anew. This is the successor. Here's our mandate.

A moderated list for the discussion of performance management, performance appraisal and performance improvement. Whether you are a manager, supervisor, executive, business owner or human resources professional this list will help you grapple with issues such as performance ranking, performance rating, communicating about performance.

Recent topics: Return on investment (ROI) for performance appraisals, use of customer based standards, objective setting, performance planning.

List is hosted by Robert Bacal, author of Performance Management - A Briefcase Book, published by McGraw-Hill. There is an associated web page replete with free articles on performance management, 360 feedback and all aspects of the performance appraisal and performance management process at http://performance-appraisals.org
