...Introduction Evaluating employee’s performance has been a conventional process throughout the world and has a significant amount of effect on a person’s career. Despite that, most supervisors do not see the importance of performance appraisals nor do they know the correct way to conduct one. Thus, the end result would turn out to be inaccurate and ineffective in achieving company’s goal. Summary This article gives a general idea of performance management system. The three types of employee evaluations are: Trait-based system where performer is assessed if he possesses desired personality that is considered important for the job. Behavior-based system recognises what a performer does and provides a while result- based system assesses an employee’s contribution to the success of the organisation. Performance management consists of expectation, feedback, coaching, performance evaluation, development plan and follow-up. Data should be gathered via a diversity of resources and goal should be set based on the job requirement. Goals should be specific, measureable, attainable, realistic and timely. How participants feel during evaluation depends largely on supervisor’s degree of preparation.

... The key issue with the current performance measurement system is its inability to accurately capture the metrics that can provide key insights. Currently, the KPIs used in the CPDN warehouse do not account for the root cause of poor performance or a basis for corrective action. Our past performance levels have been very good but recent complaints from customers and pharmaceutical manufacturers have subjected the system to scrutiny and there is a need to conceptualize a more robust performance management system with a view to maximize customer satisfaction and manage the expectations of key stakeholders. Analysis Exhibit 1 depicts calculations done based on last month’s performance. There were 2000 lines backordered that resulted in backordered sales of approximately $910,000. Furthermore, the backorder rate (Exhibit 2) was at 6.67%. This is one of the indicators that are not currently measured and clearly have a major impact on the business. UPS logistics and CPDN lose credibility every time customers order directly from the manufacturers, putting in question the need for an agency such as CPDN. There is also the issue of customer safety in case drugs are not available in life threatening situations at the hospitals. I believe the key areas of concern with a new performance management system are maintaining confidentiality to avoid collusive trade practices, prioritizing and tracking critical KPIs and developing a robust framework for root cause analysis and corrective...

Performance Management System (PMS), its Design and Implementation for Achieving Strategic Advantage Introduction PMS are strategically vital to any given organisation to succeed in their strategic human resource management because they are the key makers that integrate organisational objectives, business plans, people and all other human resource systems in achieving its required goals. HRM is about deployment, engagement, development and training of employees to reach their full potentials. To measure their rate of improvement, we need the performance management systems to measure their performance. Without measuring these we cannot manage their progress. Philbeam and Corbridge (2002) believes that PMS helps organisations to develop performance culture where employers continuously observe different business processes in order to maximise their work superiority and often review their competencies to determine their personal development needs. Therefore any PMS must fully be integrated in the organisation’s objectives, its corporate strategies, culture and structure. On the other hand Bevan & Thompson (1992) defines PMS as a system that provides the departmental/business unit and individual performance targets that are drawn from the wider organisational objectives. PMS evolved from management by objective (MBO) which aims at improving profitability and growth by focusing on improving managerial effectiveness, moral and motivation. PMS is ‘a strategy which...
