Performance management is a planned, continuous, and measurable approach used to align individual contributions of employees with the overall goals of the organization. This system is not limited to annual evaluation forms; it is a dynamic management cycle that supports individual development, guides through clear objectives, and is strengthened by regular feedback. When integrated with lean management philosophy, the focus is not only on outcomes but also on the quality of the process. Effective performance management nurtures a culture of transparency, trust, and continuous development within the organization. At every level, employees understand what is expected of them and can clearly see how they contribute to success.
