... Week 4 Individual Assignment Career Development PlanIII (Performance and Career Management) HRM531 Instructor: Deborah Jones April 25, 2010. Performance and Career Management Performance management entails willingness and dedication that focus on improving performance on the individual or team level every day. It helps employees with indicating present direction and their desired direction. To practice high-quality performance management, managers must provide timely feedback about performance, while consistently focusing attention on the ultimate objective (Cascio, 2005). A career management plan is a plan that has been developed in order to help managers guide employees in a positive direction, which in turn helps employees to become successful. A career management plan is an important piece to an employee’s growth and development preparation throughout his or her career. This plan will permit an individual on how to reach their goals and know where they want to be. Due to the fact that InterClean has completed the training and mentoring program, a “Performance and Career Management” plan will be implemented. This program will assist the employees and the organization to achieve their set goals. This plan will enable each employee aware of his or her strengths and weakness, toward improving and achieving the goal of the organization. • Performance Evaluation Employees will be evaluated...

...HRM-531 Human Capital Management Performance and Career Management The following will develop a performance and career management programs for the employees that I have selected for my team. I will plan work and set expectations, monitor the performance of my team, reward good performance, and rate the performance of my team in a systematic way. (www.opm.gov) I also feel it is important for my team to individually take ownership of their own career paths with direction and guidance from the company as to what is expected of them. I feel that performance management should be a continual, throughout the year process, not something that is touched on in a once a year meeting with the employee. That way, the company, the team, and the individual know where they stand, what needs to be improved, and what they are excelling at periodic intervals. Feedback will be given to the employee in the form of a narrative essay on a quarterly basis. A narrative essay is defined as, “…in writing, the rater describes an employee’s strengths, weaknesses, and potential.” (Cascio, Chapter 9) I feel that the narrative essay is the simplest, most effective way to deliver feedback. I will also be utilizing the behavioral checklist. I will make a list for all employees so that it is uniform and either I or another manager will easily be able to rate a declarative statement. This will be given to the employee at their individual quarterly meeting. To improve employee performance, we will set mutual...

...Performance and Career Management Plan Travis Steiner University of Phoenix Human Capital Management HRM/531 Jim Foote May 01, 2011 Performance and Career Management Plan Having a career management plan is exactly like having a map; you want to know where you are, where you are headed, and where your destination is. Your career management plan should also take into account your career interests and needs along with your knowledge, skills, and how to balance your work (Purdue.edu, n.d, p. 2). As CEO of InterClean I would like to develop a career management plan and guide the employees in a positive direction. Feedback and Opportunities It is crucial to give honest and timely feedback while trying to develop relationships. Developing a healthy relationship is very important and sometimes honest feedback can be hurtful and it needs to be done in a professional and compassionate manner. This will ensure the employee that you are not trying to tear anybody down but rather working with the employee to build a successful organization. Each employee has a different personality and based upon this you may need to be more sensitive when evaluating the employee. An evaluation should be performed four times for new employees and twice for the other employees. For a new employee there is an evaluation after the initial training is finished, there is a 90 day evaluation, a 6 month evaluation and a 1 year evaluation. For other employees the two evaluations are done at...

...Sprint Performance Management System Douglas Tennyson Excelsior College Abstract Every company needs to have a performance management system in place to build employees into what the company desires from them, to help them retain the best employees and to assist with active communication. Sprint seems to have a performance management system today that is much better than it was previously and this paper will explore the current performance management system and compare it to the old one and also make recommendations as to what Sprint can do to improve their current system. Sprint is a telecommunications company that specializes in mobile devices and mobile service. They currently hold fourth place in the mobile provider market being overtaken by T-mobile in 2015 according to a report on RCwireless.com with Verizon and AT&T maintaining a firm grip at the top of the market share. "The report found that "no major shifts in market share among the major four carriers" between now and 2020" (Kinney, S. (2015). One of Sprint's bigger problems was their employee turnover rate; they were losing employees faster than they were getting new ones. This would be a problem for any company, but especially for a company that is in the cutthroat business of cell phones and service. Trying to grow and take more of the market when you can't keep the trained employees created a problem for Sprint and they knew they needed to address this. "In July 2002, Towers Perrin released a...

...Performance management includes activities to ensure that goals are consistently being met in an effective and efficient manner. Performance management can focus on the performance of an organization, a department, employee, or even the processes to build a product or service, as well as many other areas. Performance Management as referenced on this page is a broad term. See Aubrey Daniels for a detailed explanation of the origin of the term Performance Management (PM) which was coined by Dr. Aubrey C. Daniels in the late 1970s to describe a technology (i.e., science imbedded in applications methods) for managing both behavior and results, the two critical elements of what is known as performance. |Contents | |[hide] | |1 Where PM is applied | |2 Benefits | |3 Organizational Development Definitions | |4 See also | |5 References | |6 Further readings | |7 External links | [pic][edit] Where PM is applied The PM approach is...

...Implementing an Effective Performance Management Process Improving Performance Through Meaningful Feedback Performance management continues to be a challenge for many organizations. People believe in the value of the outcomes, but to many, giving (and receiving) feedback is a daunting task. Burke’s annual Workforce Perspective® survey shows that while 70% of employees receive an annual performance review, less than half believe the review effectively evaluates their performance. And, just over 60% find the feedback useful in helping them to improve job performance. To put this all in context, linkage research shows that employee engagement is linked to customer loyalty and organizational performance. Further, performance management and career development are both strong drivers of employee engagement. Giving these topics the attention they deserve is vital to individual and organizational success! Performance Management is more than just an annual review. It encompasses the entire process of employee performance evaluation and feedback and includes goal setting and coaching. Done effectively, it also includes the creation of development plans to address current performance issues as well as maximize future performance and career potential. “Feedback is the breakfast of champions.” Ken Blanchard What Are the Characteristics of a Successful Performance Management Program? An effective Performance Management program requires a structured process that includes: – Setting...

...Clean-Tech Performance and Career Management Plan Jmettea P. McFadden HRM/531 Les Colegrove August 30, 2010 Clean-Tech Performance and Career Management Plan Clean-Tech is committed to establishing itself as an industry leader in the cleaning and sanitation industry. In order to accomplish this objective, Clean-Tech must ensure its employees are meeting their highest level of performance. By setting up formal and effective performance and career management plan, Clean-Tech helps employees understand their job responsibilities and expectations of the company in terms of job performance. Performance appraisals are very important to the continued development of our sales team and to the mission of our company. “In general, appraisal serves a twofold purpose: (1) to improve employees’ work performance by helping them realize and use their full potential in carrying out their firms’ missions and (2) to provide information to employees and managers for use in making work-related decisions.” (Cascio, 2006, p.379) A performance appraisal form will allow a formal review to be conducted and recorded of an employee’s job performance. The proposed performance appraisal form for our sales team is attached. Feedback Feedback is an important tool that must be utilized to develop an effective performance and career management plan. Feedback is necessary to sustain and improve employee job performance. Performance appraisal feedback must be a two way process and...

...forefront the need to understand the individual/organizational relationship, namely the psychological contract. This is the employee’s interpretations and evaluation of their deal with the organization (Dietz, 2009). Past research has shown that in order for retention management to be effective, the employee’s and the organization’s expectation must be in line. Also job satisfaction, loyalty, and commitment can cause problems in relation to employee retention. Employees are no longer looking to work for one place for the rest of their life and make an average wage. They are always looking for ways to advance in their careers. If these needs are not met by the organizations, this will lead to turnover. Individual employee performance can also lead to problems in retention. Motivation is the key. When employees have insufficient support to get tasks accomplished, their level of motivation declines. This problem can be due to lack of resources and adequate training. All and all employees simply want to be empowered to do a good job and be recognized for their contributions. Thus organizations must clearly communicate how employees can contribute to organizational goals and provide adequate training and performance feedback or risk losing their best...

...Hershey’s Sweet Mission Strayer University Recommendation of Redesign of Hershey’s Performance Management System to Appeal to the Diverse Groups That It Employs Performance management systems assess employees’ performance while ensuring that these performance standards align with the goals and views of the company or organization (Aguinis, 2009). At Hershey, the main diversity stated in the case study was the diversity of age between workers which consisted of millennial workers, those in their 20s, and the baby boomer generation. The performance management is an ongoing effort of Human Resources to identify measure and develop the performance of values that Hershey promotes. Currently the markers for review are based upon the values of the company which include, embracing diversity, sharing knowledge, leading with integrity, teamwork and personal responsibility. The performance management system allows employees to set goals within each value and review is based upon reaching those specified goals (Noe, Holleneck, Gerhart. & Wright, 2011). Analysis of How a Hershey’s Employee Would Interpret the Values that Hershey Embraces in Relation to Employees In an effort to improve this performance management system Human Resources may wish to further explore the research that indicates that teams with diverse memberships are likely to have a deeper pool of resources in which the company can benefit from (Bassett-Jones, 2005).
