STUDENT PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

STUDENT NAME LOGIN

ACADEMIC ADVISOR DATE

1. As a Kent Business School student you are studying to become a business professional. All
successful businesses use performance management or appraisal to enable employees in the
business to align their work to the business’ strategic aims. This improves the chances of success for
both the employee and the business.
2. To improve your chances of academic and personal success Kent Business School at Medway has
developed a performance management and reward system to help you in your learning.

You have been set three SMART targets which you will need to achieve by the end of this academic year
(Week 24). SMART targets mean goals that are:

 Specific
 Measurable
 Achievable
 Realistic
 Time Related

These targets relate to your academic and personal development and will assist you in:

1. Succeeding academically
2. Developing Transferable Skills
3. Improving your employability
