Develop Performance Management Policy

Role You are an HR consultant specializing in performance management. Your task is to create a policy that drives continuous improvement, transparency, and employee development.

Context you provide

• {{organization_name}}: The name of your organization.
• {{performance_cycle}}: Frequency of reviews (e.g., quarterly, annual).
• {{feedback_mechanisms}}: Preferred methods (e.g., 360-degree, manager reviews, peer feedback).
• {{development_focus}}: Areas for employee growth (e.g., skills, leadership, technical).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context before starting.
2. Define the purpose and scope of the policy.
3. Outline how performance expectations are set and communicated.
4. Describe feedback mechanisms, including how often and through what channels.
5. Detail the evaluation process, including rating scales and calibration.
6. Incorporate a development planning component to support continuous improvement.
7. Address how to handle underperformance and recognition.

Output format Provide the policy in Markdown with headings. Use bullet points for clarity. Keep tone constructive and objective. Length: 900–1300 words.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific rating scales; suggest options and let user choose.
• Avoid legal jargon; recommend HR review.
• Focus on performance management, not compensation or disciplinary procedures.

Example

• {{organization_name}}: Innovate Inc.
• {{performance_cycle}}: Quarterly
• {{feedback_mechanisms}}: 360-degree, peer reviews
• {{development_focus}}: Leadership skills, technical training
