Effective Performance Management
Effective performance evaluation is essential for making the right business decisions. Failing to pinpoint where a company is underperforming can lead to money and resources being unnecessarily wasted. On the other hand, mastering performance evaluation can lead to an efficient and effective organisation!
Finance professionals typically play a key role in performance evaluation through collecting and analysing data to provide insights and recommendations about a company and its employees’ performance across the board. By learning the ins and outs of performance evaluation, you can ensure you are able to contribute effectively to this vital area, helping to improve the organisation’s operations.
In this course, we’ll explore when and why performance evaluation is important, as well as provide you with a toolkit of methods to use in a variety of areas and situations. All of this will mean that you’ll be able to support your organisation in making the right decisions for the business’s long-term success!

Astranti offers good quality materials which are really helpful. Atmosphere and communication also are very good and definitely not an old school approach. Big thanks.
Astranti has been very useful for me as I’m dyslexic. So having the ability to watch/listen the tutorials has been very beneficial as it allows me to have a visual and oral representation of the material”
