PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT

Performance and development are closely related. Performance is the act of achieving results that meet specified expectations, while development is the process of improving performance. Performance can be measured in terms of output produced, while development measures the consistency and quality of the output. It is important to continually assess performance and provide feedback to employees to improve their development. Tracking progress over time can provide an indication of future performance, allowing for improvements to be made. Performance and development are two sides of the same coin; good performance leads to further development and improved performance, leading to better results.
