Homework: Performance Management System Design
Performance management is a systematic process that entails planning work, setting expectations, monitoring outcomes, developing capability, rating performance, and rewarding achievement (U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 2012). Developing clear, measurable, fair, and challenging standards is required if a performance appraisal is to be the basis for employee retention, development, promotion, and compensation in an organization. Performance appraisal processes must be developed, implemented, and monitored in such a manner that promotes accurate, standardized, and appropriate execution. Consequently, it is essential to understand how to properly design these systems to ensure effective use.
For this Homework, review the media. Consider how you might develop a standardized performance appraisal process to evaluate the three job types presented in the media.
