Seminar 3

Performance Management and Reward

7 June 2010, 12:30-17:00 – Durham University, Castle on Palace Green

The seminar is held in the Castle on Palace Green, it starts at 12:30 and finishes at 17:00.

The 3rd seminar will consider trust in the context of HRM as it relates to performance management and reward with keynotes including Prof Antoinette Weibel and Prof Audrey Korsgaard. The management of performance within organisations is widely accepted as being crucial in gaining competitive advantage and consequently forms a key component of HRM strategy and practice. Performance management, and its subsequent reward, are one of the key HRM processes which have a powerful and regular effect on employees. Main activities grouped under this heading relate to defining performance, managing performance and the provision of feedback on performance, as well as underlying issues, such as motivation and interpersonal relationships with line managers. The issue of control, introduced at the first seminar, is a central concern that will be further developed here.
