How can Singhania and Partners sustain the effectiveness of people management policies with increasing competition? I think the CEO is worried about what they pay rather than the HR policies per se. Be more specific PESTC Analysis Political and Legal: Economic liberalization by the government of India.

...Career Development Plan Part III – Performance and Career Management Sherry Martin HRM/531 Career Development Plan Part III- Performance and Career Management A training and mentoring program was implemented for the new InterClean sales force. Our next step is to develop a performance and career management program that continues to work in alignment with the company’s new strategic direction. Performance management includes activities to ensure that goals are consistently being met in an effective and efficient manner.

...Carringbush Council. The purpose of this report is to analyse, and indentify internal and external issues, and suggest if any changes to the work culture and performance management system can help, overcoming these identified problems. In future, there are a few changes expected, in external environment. They will affect the council. Along with these external influencing factors, there are internal issues as well, which need to be addressed, in order to maintain or improve the performance of the council. Various theories developed by researchers are used to suggest the effective ways, to overcome these issues. This organization is a public sector organization, so obviously it is a hierarchical organization. The work is well defined with no room for flexibility. From this mechanistic approach, the organization has to transform into an organic type of organization, in order to achieve the desired structure. Next identifies issue is lack of managerial skills in middle level managers. A training to upgrade their skills and tools like 360 degree feedback can be helpful. In addition to that, there is no platform where employees can go for training and development, rather than just relying upon managers; they can be benefitted by creation of a learning organization. This important characteristic of HPWS does, not only improves the performance, but also employee...

...Third Case Question 1. Vitality’s old Performance Management System presented some problems that were affecting some of its most talented employees. The analysis of those problems as well as the identification of their root causes will allow us to make a reflection about the company’s previous Performance Management System in the following paragraphs. Firstly, the old system was prone to central tendency error. It had 13 rating levels and lacked a described evaluation criteria. As one can understand, if the rating scale is large and the different levels are not sufficiently explained, the evaluators will be more likely to evaluate less accurately. In the case, one can read that managers gave almost to everyone a B or a C, provided few A or D ratings. This is a problem because it shows that the managers do not take the performance and evaluation system as a serious and fundamental tool, which consequently affects employees who are not able to receive valuable feedback on their performance. In our opinion this problem has two main root causes. The first one is that managers do not want to upset employees and the sense of teamwork and egalitarianism, so they give medium ratings to everyone. They might believe that a medium grading does not affect neither positively nor negatively employees’ performance. We believe that the other cause could be the lack of clarity in the rating levels description. The fact that the grading system is not clear for managers hampers a precise...

...Manage Performance Management Systems Assessment 1: Case Study of Precision Technology Case Questions 1. What is the primary goal Performance Management System (PMS)? The primary goal PMS is to develop a PMS that drives the performance of the company to achieve its objectives and strategies throughout identification, evaluation and development of the job performance. The aim of a performance management system is to help employees reach their full potential for the benefit of both the employee and the organisation. Having a clear understanding of job expectations, responsibilities, required competencies, regular feedback and the expected behaviours does this. The employee may feel that they are carrying out their duties for which they are employed, although those above that employee may not think the individual is carrying out those duties satisfactorily. However if nobody informs the employee of the situation, there is no chance of improvement so the management performance system gives a chance of communication. A performance management meeting organised to discuss the employee performance should be a two way communication at which the employee should be aware: • Know the performance goals that they need to achieve as well as the expected behaviour wanted by the organisation. • An agreed plan of action for the areas of improvement, with a guidelines on how the goals will be measured • Organise of training if needed or wanted by employee ...
