How well do you understand Performance Management?: Answers
- True. The HR professional provides the tools, training, and guidance to enable operational management to implement the system. Managers will implement the formal appraisal process.

These competencies consistently reappear within an organization and throughout an employee’s career, from hiring through years of employment, which helps to translate an organization’s overall vision into its daily operations.
