The new HR manager
As the new HR manager, you have conducted an analysis of your organization and found that performance management processes are highly inconsistent among departments. Some departments have a process of a formal annual appraisal while other departments do not provide employees with any documented feedback on their performance. Also, some departments have a process of documenting employee performance issues; others seem to follow a process of no documented warnings before recommending termination. With your experience, you recognize the benefits of establishing a developed performance management program.
Using the Internet, locate information on performance management and then develop a detailed plan to present to your CEO. In this process, you will focus on two key areas of performance management: performance appraisals and the disciplinary action/performance coaching process. This plan should address the following:
1. What value does a performance management program bring to the organization?
2. Which performance management programs did you consider?
3. Which programs did you select and why?
4. How will the new programs be communicated to employees?
5. What type of training will be provided for managers?
6. What additional issues/challenges need to be considered with the implementation of these programs?
