Experienced human resources management professional, human resource consultant, resource person, trainer and member of IPM Sri Lanka – Thilak Devendra recently launched his maiden human resources-related book ‘Employee Performance Management’ in Sinhala titled ‘Sevaka Karyapala Kalamanakaranaya’ at IPM Sri Lanka ‘HR House’ in Colombo 5 amidst a large and distinguished gathering comprising of HR practitioners, academia and students.

“IPM Sri Lanka is proud that a distinguished member of our fraternity has embarked and completed the difficult task of writing a book on a most opportune and important subject such as employee performance management,” chief guest and IPM Sri Lanka President Rohitha Amarapala.

“Employee performance management is critical to an organisation’s continued wellbeing, growth as well as retention and motivating employees in competitive, high performance cultures. Devendra’s book helps HR managers, non-HR managers as well as other executives to grasp and learn the concept of performance management which has been explained in an easy to understand, non-technical language,” he added.

Having served for over 30 years in various managerial and executive capacities in the corporate sector, Devendra has over 15 years as an experienced HR and management professional and as a lecturer in the field of management. He has also functioned in the capacity of resource person and consultant for over 10 and eight years, respectively for prestigious organisations including IPM Sri Lanka, Brandix College of Clothing Technology (BCCT), National Institute of Business Management (NIBM), National School of Business Management (NSBM), Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), Project Management Solutions and Sri Lanka Institute of Local Governance.

His academic and professional qualifications include an MBA from the Wayamba University, Postgraduate Diploma from the Rajarata University, Bachelor of Business Management from the Open University of Sri Lanka, Executive Diploma in Business Administration from the University of Colombo, National Diploma in Personnel Management from IPM and National Diploma in Computer System Design from NIBM.

“Employee performance management will no doubt be a boon to both students who engage in their studies in Sinhala as well as HR and non-HR executives and managers who perform their day-to-day tasks,” stated Devendra.
