Project Summary: Discussion: Simulation Reflection and Classroom Discussion As with any system or process, performance management is made up of a series of steps and events. Sometimes there are missteps or forgotten steps, even steps out of sync, which can alter the intended results. In this Discussion, you will have an opportunity to reflect on a process essential to the effectiveness of human resources as it works to foster successful individual and organizational performance management. You took on the role of an HR professional, drawing upon your knowledge of performance management and applying it to a life-like scenario in which the department manager missed steps and did not follow the process.
