You are required to form a group of two and then you must plan, monitor and review a case study relating to performance management of a team.
Each team member will undertake a number of activities to manage the performance of one of the two employees. This will include management activities, such as developing work allocations, identifying KPIs, participating in several role-plays, undertaking performance reviews, and proposing a development plan for remedying poor performance by the Employee under your supervision. Finally, you will need to provide feedback to your assessment partner on performance during a role-play.
