A self-paced course on connecting what the business is trying to do to how people are hired, managed, developed and paid. It covers six stages: what a people strategy is, workforce planning, goal setting, performance conversations, developing and retaining people, and measuring whether any of it is working.

The recurring point is that most performance management fails because it is a calendar ritual disconnected from how work actually happens. SkillStack Suite is independent and issues no certification or credential.
