Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

2,467 performance management tools in one course: 1,825 ready-to-use files, forms, scripts and rubrics, 54 services and apps shown on screen, plus 588 models and methods.

Open a lecture, take the tool, use it in this quarter's goal setting, check-in or review.

Why performance reviews are dreaded by everyone

Managers postpone them, employees fear them, HR chases the forms. Goals were set in January and forgotten by March. Feedback arrives once a year, too late to act on. Ratings depend on who the manager is. And the conversation that matters most, with the person who is not delivering, is the one nobody has prepared for. The process exists, and it produces paperwork rather than performance.

What changes after this course

Each step of the cycle gets a working format. Goals written so they can be checked. A short agenda that keeps check-ins regular. Rubrics that make two managers rate the same performance the same way. A review form people can finish in an hour. Scripts for praise, for correction and for the hard conversation. A plan for improvement with dates. The cycle becomes a rhythm managers can keep.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

I have built performance management systems and introduced goals through a departmental pilot. At Wargaming, I began experimenting with OKRs within my own department, which was my first experience launching that approach. At Preply, I built performance management, introduced 15Five and OKRs, and established regular check-ins. I also implemented performance management at iDeals, building another system from scratch. These experiences inform the goal setting, feedback and review tools in this course.

How to use the course

Start with the six core sections: they follow the performance cycle from goals to difficult decisions. Then treat the rest as a reference library. Section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name, so you can find the right tool before the conversation you are preparing for.

What is included

  • 373 lectures across 57 sections, 181 hours
  • 435 downloadable resources: lecture presentations and working files
  • 2,467 tools across the lessons, ready to copy into your own work
  • Lifetime access to all materials
  • Active instructor support in the Q&A section
  • A Udemy Certificate of Completion

Where to start

Take the next check-in in your calendar. Open the second section, use the one-on-one agenda and the feedback questions, and run that meeting with a structure. Teams that talk about performance every two weeks have no surprises at review time, and every skipped conversation becomes a harder one later. Enrol now and start your first lesson today.
