In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</span> </p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The singular function of training within performance management&nbsp;is to help&nbsp;facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However,&nbsp;training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</span> </p>

In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</span> </p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The singular function of training within performance management&nbsp;is to help&nbsp;facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However,&nbsp;training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</span> </p>

In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</span> </p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The singular function of training within performance management&nbsp;is to help&nbsp;facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However,&nbsp;training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</span> </p>

In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</span> </p>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The singular function of training within performance management&nbsp;is to help&nbsp;facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However,&nbsp;training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</span> </p>

In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</span> </p>

    <li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </span></li>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The singular function of training within performance management&nbsp;is to help&nbsp;facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However,&nbsp;training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</span> </p>

In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</span></p>
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
    <li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </span></li>
    <li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Allocate and prioritize resources, </span></li>
    <li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </span></li>
    <li style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Report on the success in meeting those goals.</span></li>

<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The singular function of training within performance management&nbsp;is to help&nbsp;facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However,&nbsp;training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</span></p>

<p>Performance Management is&nbsp;the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals. In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </li>
    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>
    <li>report on the success in meeting those goals. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>SOURCE: Serving the American Public: Best Practices in Performance Measurement, NPR, June 1997.</em></p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management&nbsp;is to help&nbsp;facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However,&nbsp;training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

<p>Performance Management is&nbsp;the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals. In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </li>
    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>
    <li>report on the success in meeting those goals. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>SOURCE: Serving the American Public: Best Practices in Performance Measurement, NPR, June 1997.</em></p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management&nbsp;is to help&nbsp;facilitate change.

<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals. In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </li>
    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>
    <li>report on the success in meeting those goals. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>SOURCE: Serving the American Public: Best Practices in Performance Measurement, NPR, June 1997.</em></p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>
<p>The purpose of this page is to provide agencies with:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Tools to train and inform executives and other interested stakeholders on the Basic SES Appraisal System </li>
    <li>Resources to assist in training employees, supervisors, managers and executives on performance measurement and performance management </li>
    <li>Resources to assist in training on using analytics </li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals. In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </li>
    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>
    <li>report on the success in meeting those goals. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>SOURCE: Serving the American Public: Best Practices in Performance Measurement, NPR, June 1997.</em></p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals. In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </li>
    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>
    <li>report on the success in meeting those goals. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>SOURCE: Serving the American Public: Best Practices in Performance Measurement, NPR, June 1997.</em></p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>
<p>The purpose of this page is to provide agencies with:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Tools to train and inform executives and other interested stakeholders on the Basic SES Appraisal System </li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals. In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </li>
    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>
    <li>report on the success in meeting those goals. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>SOURCE: Serving the American Public: Best Practices in Performance Measurement, NPR, June 1997.</em></p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>
<p>The purpose of this page is to provide agencies with:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Tools to train and inform executives and other interested stakeholders on the Basic SES Appraisal System </li>
    <li>Resources to assist in training employees, supervisors, managers and executives on performance measurement and performance management </li>
    <li>Resources to assist in training on using analytics </li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals. In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </li>
    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>
    <li>report on the success in meeting those goals. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>SOURCE: Serving the American Public: Best Practices in Performance Measurement, NPR, June 1997.</em></p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals. In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Help set agreed-upon performance goals, </li>
    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>
    <li>report on the success in meeting those goals. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>SOURCE: Serving the American Public: Best Practices in Performance Measurement, NPR, June 1997.</em></p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help facilitate change. Training facilitates capability building of individuals, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and, subsequently at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>

In other words performance management is the use of performance measurement information to:</p>

    <li>Allocate and prioritize resources, </li>
    <li>Inform managers to either confirm or change current policy or program directions to meet those goals, and </li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

<ul>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

<ul>
    <li>Tools to train and inform executives and other interested stakeholders on the Basic SES Appraisal System </li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

<ul>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>
<p>The purpose of this page is to provide agencies with:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Tools to train executives and other interested stakeholders on the Basic Appraisal System </li>
    <li>Resources to assist in training employees, supervisors, managers and executives on performance measurement and performance management </li>

<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>
<p>The purpose of this page is to provide agencies with:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Tools to train executives on the Basis Appraisal System </li>
    <li>Resources to assist in training employees, supervisors, managers and executives on performance measurement and performance management </li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.</p>
<p>The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. </p>
<p>It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.</p>
<p>The purpose of this page is to provide agencies with:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Tools to train executives on the Basis Appraisal System </li>
    <li>Resources to assist in training employees, supervisors, managers and executives on performance measurement and performance management </li>

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[Performance Management is the systematic process by which an agency involves its employees, as individuals and members of a group, in improving organizational effectiveness in the accomplishment of agency mission and goals.<br />
<br />
The singular function of training within performance management is to help produce change. Training facilitates the upgrading of a person’s skill or the addition of a new skill, which in turn can bring about the desired change an agency is seeking at the individual level and/or at the organizational level. <br />
<br />
It is important to understand that training in and of itself cannot improve performance. However, training is an integral part of what is needed to accomplish individual and organizational goals.<br />

The purpose of this page is to provide agencies with:<br />
<ul>
