...Career Development Plan Part III Frank A. Cruz University of Phoenix Performance appraisals can be an important tool for both management as well as the employee, although I find that performance appraisals can be subjective. This is not to say that appraisals are not of importance if you are going to reward employees on their merit or performance. However, this can be a slippery slope when linking an employee’s pay with a performance appraisal. However, doing this can cause conflict between improving performance and deciding on increases. The goal of employee and managers improving performance should be working together, in effect, working on the same team to solve problems. When managers use appraisals to determine pay typically the dynamic changes, the employee and manager are not on the same team. The employee tends to feel that they deserve a larger pay increase while management typically does not since funds are typically limited. Again the employees will focus on his or her strong points rather than focusing on the areas that need improvement. When money is put on the table typically people are quicker to be more firm and stubborn pointing out the intensity of their performance on the appraisal results. This only makes sense when an employee reviews the results of an appraisal since it is tied to his or her pay. That being said, performance appraisals will be done every month during the transition. After a year, performance appraisals will go to every six months....

The next phase in their career development plan is performance and career management. Through this phase, each team member receives an individual career map that provides career guidance and goals to the employee. Casico defines performance management as “a kind of compass; one that indicates a person's actual direction as well as a person's desired direction” (2005, Ch. 9). This format provides a snapshot of where the employee currently is within their career and clearly states what options the employee has in addition to opportunities for career advancement. While it is essential to provide employees with solid goal-setting tools, additional motivators, such as feedback, advancement, flexible work-scheduling, and team diversity help to stimulate enthusiasm.

Different Stages of Career Development Process Or, Cycles of Career Development Process VI. Career Development I. Career: Meaning & Elements Definition of Career Career is a sequence of attitudes and behaviors associated with the series of job and work-related activities over a person's lifetime. Yet in another way, it may be defined as a succession of related jobs, arranged in hierarchical order, through which a person moves in an organization. As the literal definition of career focuses on an individually perceived sequence, to be more accurate, career may be either individual centered or organization-centered. Therefore, career is often defined separately as external career and internal career. External career refers to the objective categories used by society and organizations to describe the progression of steps through a given occupation, while internal career refers to the set of steps or stages which make up the individual's own concept of career progression within an occupation. For such two different approaches, in organizational context, career can be identified as an integrated pace of vertical and lateral movement in an occupation of an individual over his employment span. Important Elements of Career Analyzing the definitional context, it...

...Career Development Plan Part III Dana Hagood University of Phoenix Human Capital Management 531 Laurene Collins April 26, 2010 Career Development Plan Part III Management is a word that encompasses many tasks. The particular tasks this paper is addressing will be the role of managers using a tool such as a performance appraisal to help shape the careers of future managers. Whether the manager likes it or not at least once a year he or she will need to do appraisals for the staff he or she is in direct responsibility for. Doing appraisals should be looked upon as a tool that can help all involved. Performance reviews are stressful for both managers and employees. Criticism is usually hard for the giver and the receiver. A performance appraisal needs not be stressful or critical. The tool should be looked upon as a way to improve one’s skills and career. Most individuals want to do the best job one can do therefore, by learning and improving from using the appraisal tool the sky should be the limit for the individuals involved. The appraisal form attached offers both the manager and the employee the opportunity to answer the same questions prior to the actual appointment. By giving everyone involved a voice there will be less chance for feeling unimportant and lead to the possibility of open communication between the two. The appraisal form has a section after the two come together to compare and come up with a mutual plan for success in the...

...Running Head: Career Development Plan Part III Career Development Plan Part III Curtis Haroldson HRM/531 University of Phoenix February 6th 2011 Dr. Pat FitzGerald Feedback: Important to the evaluation of an employee is the preparation for effective feedback and should include notes or specific details important to the review. If there are complaints to discus, issues about behavior, or performance, schedule enough time to review each subject thoroughly. As this is taking place the employee has enough time to prepare and be comfortable with the meeting. The next important factor in the feedback process is to ask the employee for an interview. Asking shows respect and gives an opportunity for the employee to consider if he or she wants to listen. If the employee decides not to listen another approach must be taken to ensure that the task is completed. Although many managers find the process of feedback distasteful, it is the responsibility...

...Pension Plans vs. Contribution Plans A retirement plan is a savings and investment plan that provides income during retirement. Many times it is created by employers for employees. However, many people do not know the difference between a pension plan and a contribution plan. For example, they may believe that a 401K is their pension plan when in reality it is a contribution plan. Therefore, one should first learn to define what a pension plan is and what a contribution plan is. A defined benefit plan, also known as a pension plan, and a defined contribution plan, a 401K or 403B are just two main types of employer retirement plans. A defined benefit is a plan that pays you a specific amount of money monthly or in a lump sum, when you retire as part of your retirement benefits. This plan focuses on output and the benefits may not depend upon the amount of an account balance. (Kennedy & Shultz III – 2012) The amount issued are usually based on formulas and on criteria such as number of years worked at a company and salary earned. For the most part the employer pays the complete cost of a pension plan or defined benefit thus the investment risk rest with the employer. Let’s first consider the details of the defined benefit plan. According to Lewis and Clark (2009) “Participants of a defined benefit plans are promised a specified sum regardless of the investment of the plan.” This type of benefit is designed to replace all of the participants’ pre-retirement income...
