CIPD diploma

Produce a briefing guide to Line Managers who are new to your company which, using best

practice guidelines:

? Explains the frequency, purpose and process of performance reviews/appraisals

? Identifies and explains how a manager should deal with both good and poor performance

? Describes what information is available to both the Manager and Employee to support the

Performance Management process – for example in preparation for an appraisal

The briefing guide should be short and focused to keep the Manager’s attention and act as a

reminder for the future, but can refer to other documents and sources of information.
