Recommendation

Hats off to author Richard A. Swanson for writing clearly, interestingly and compellingly on the subject of creating effective programs to improve workplace performance. He champions approaching this task with up-front analysis based on systems theory. Since he criticizes ordinary management for not understanding this problem and for not knowing the methods that can be used to resolve it, getAbstract recommends this book not only to Human Resources professionals, but also to managers and executives in all industries. If you want employee performance to improve, upgrade your understanding of how to make it so.

Take-Aways

  • Up-front analysis is critical to the success of any performance improvement effort.
  • Up-front analysis is rarely done properly.
  • The standard performance improvement model has five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation.
