Coaching & Development is part of the Performance Management Cycle. Through Coaching & Development we can focus on the areas that need improvement that have been identified through the Performance Appraisal process.

No, because performance management is an ongoing management activity (not just an annual form filling process) that includes coaching and development, in addition to objective setting and feedback. Performance management supports coaching and development by identifying performance gaps. Coaching and development support performance management by closing performance gaps.

No, Coaching and Development cannot replace Performance Management but rather complements it as long as the latter is a two-way communication. We identify strength, weaknesses and areas for improvement by carrying out Performance Management in relation to the employee work performance, KPI’s and objectives set. Coaching and development are part of the management process for continuously developing and improving employee performance and thus require Performance Management appraisals to be effective.

As an HR Practiioner, it is important to have it settled in ones mind that Coaching & Development and Performance Management as two distinct aspects of HR. These aspects are interrelated, intertwining them together will yield better results in people management and not replacing one with the other.

Coaching and Development facilitates the employee to perform well on job. Coaching and Develpment always as a longer time frame in mind and Performance Management works towards shorter time frames. The former entrusts to the employee a deposit that can be utilised in achieving the targets set by the later.

The distinction between the two is also quite evident, how the two pan out in organisational life. Coaching and Development is more relational whereas Performance management stresses on stringent accountabilty and deliverables. It is not to say that within a mentor and mentee relationship there isn't any accountability.

The setting and activities of both aspects also vary and positively affect organisational culture.

It would be better for people managers to understand the uniqueness of each of the aspects and incorporate them in HR programs for having high performance teams and gain competitive advantage.

They do not replace,rather compliment each other. Coaching is the leading factor in employee engagement. Engaged employees means greater results

Not because the two concepts are different from each other, we initially need to develop performance indicators to measure the overall performance of the individual or organizational unit or project based on the results obtained we develop corrective plans and training and development for  individuals and then we need to monitoring  and coaching

Coaching and Development, and Performance Management are two different concepts that is not mutually exclusive. Performance Management is about alignment of employee future action plan and company business goal. It is all about how you manage your human resources available to help business growth. Of course with that in mind, coaching and development is help company preparing appropriate talent within the organisation with specific skills needed.

No. Coaching and Development cannot be separated from Performance Management. They are dependent on each other. Performance management helps us in identifying areas in which a person needs to be coached and developed. Once coaching has taken place and performance management is required to gauge the impact of that coaching.

Not completely . Coaching and Development is a part of building Performance management and can never replace the same.

There's been a shift from traditional performance management to a more inclusive and ongoing process. This ties in with survey results showing the large majority of employees (specially millennials) placing way more value on professional growth through mentorships, coaching etc, instead of having ping pong tables and ice cream machines at work. 

Wouldn't say coaching and development should replace performance management, instead it's  incorporated under the PM banner.
