The Performance Management Lifecycle guide outlines how companies can support employee growth from hiring to exit. It begins with defining performance management—setting clear goals, providing feedback, and aligning performance with business objectives. A strong foundation starts with well-written job descriptions and continues through annual performance reviews that promote communication, recognition, and development. For employees who struggle, a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) provides structure and support, while training and development initiatives foster long-term skill growth. A career ladder gives employees visibility into advancement opportunities, helping retain top talent. The guide also covers turnover analysis and exit surveys as tools for understanding employee departures and improving workplace culture. Altogether, the lifecycle forms a continuous process that drives engagement, accountability, and organizational success.
