Introduction Performance management is the process of creating a work environment or setting in which people are enabled to perform to the best of their abilities. Performance management is a whole work system that begins when a job is defined as needed. It ends when an employee leaves your organization. The soul of PMS is of course the appraisal part. Performance appraisal can be viewed as the process of assessing and recording staff performance for the purpose of making judgments about staff that lead to decisions. Performance appraisal should also be viewed as a system of highly interactive processes which involve personnel at all levels in differing degrees in determining job expectations, writing job descriptions, selecting relevant appraisal criteria, developing assessment...

...Reasons For Appraisal The main objective of an appraisal system is improving the performance of the employee and thus improving organizational performance - an well designed system can help in achieving both. Actually, information gathered through the performance appraisal exercise are potentially valuable for practically all human resource functional areas; therefore, performance appraisal can be used for Human Resource Planning, Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Career Planning and Development, Internal Employee Relations, and Assessment of Employee Potential. Human Resource Planning Human Resource planning is a process where human resource requirements are systematically reviewed to make sure that the number of employees who possess the required skills for the smooth functioning of the organization are available. It includes conduction skills inventories, developing succession plans and acquiring information for further personnel needs. Managers and supervisors decide the employees who are to be promoted, demoted, transferred, laid-off and who would need training. They also assist individuals with career planning and ascertain whether the skills needed in the organization are lacking (www.opm.gov). An appraisal system that is properly constructed profiles the organization’s human resource strengths and weaknesses to support these efforts - data collected over a number of appraisal periods could be used in evaluating if the overall workforce quality...

...business and leadership skills, creates succession plans and effectively mobilizes people from current assignments to the next or priority opportunities. (PMI Today, 2015, p. 3) When an organization’s talent management system is no longer effectively assisting with meeting business goals, the organization must determine what changes need to be made and implement those changes. One example of an organization that found improvements were needed in their talent management program was McDonald’s. McDonald’s began looking at their talent management program after declaring their first loss in the fourth quarter of 2002. There was a clear problem when the company’s performance had dropped but the performance ratings of managers were holding at more than 90% of them being “outstanding” or “excellent”. The disparity between the performance ratings of managers and the company’s ability to fill key leadership roles when they opened because there was no agreement on if any of those “top” performing managers could actually perform the job was an additional factor in their need to revamp the talent management system (Goldsmith & Carter, 2010). McDonald’s Talent Management Changes Once the disparity in the talent management system of McDonald’s was understood, the company began to look at what changes...

CEOs at the world’s most successful companies know that they can only safeguard their business’s competitive future if they have the right leaders to develop and implement their strategy. While CEOs know they can also hire external candidates, they also know that the track record of outside hires can be very unpredictable. CEOs and HR Directors from those organizations seen as best by their peers for managing talent, prefer to ensure they develop a good bench-strength of talent from inside their own organizations.

...WHITEPAPER From Leadership Potential to Promotion Success: More Accuracy, More Insight Introduction Today, organizations realize that people are their greatest asset and they invest in them accordingly. Every employee must perform at his or her best to realize maximum success. In addition, HR and business leaders understand that early identification of leaders with potential to take on significantly greater responsibility is vital to continuing their organization’s success. Traditionally, high performance has been equated with high potential. Boss nominations have been the standard for nominating people into high-potential development programs. However, bosses tend to be highly subjective and vary widely in their observations and standards for measuring potential. No two bosses define leadership potential the same way, and they disagree on who possesses it. They form opinions about people that they see often, so they necessarily miss people with great potential who work outside of their location. Adding to this conundrum of boss nominations, one study shows that only 29 percent of high performers are actually high potentials.1 Establishing a process to accurately identify individuals with leadership potential is critical in a world where companies with the best leaders win. Retaining those potential leaders long enough to realize the benefits of their promotion is just as critical. We propose that organizations can substantially increase the success rate of internal promotion...

...Performance Appraisal system Performance appraisal is a system of review and evaluation of an individual or team’s job performance. An effective system assesses accomplishments and evolves plans for development. Performance management is a process that significantly affects organizational success by having managers and employees work together to set expectations, review results, and reward performance. Its goal is to provide an accurate picture of past and / or future employee performance. To achieve this, performance standards are established. I. The Performance Appraisal Process Many of the external and internal environmental factors previously discussed can influence the appraisal process. Legislation requires that the appraisal systems be nondiscriminatory. The labor union might affect the appraisal process by stressing seniority as the basis for promotions and pay increases. Factors within the internal environment can also affect the performance appraisal process. The type of corporate culture can serve to help or hinder the process. Identification of specific goals is the starting point for the PA process. After specific appraisal goals have been established, workers and teams must understand what is expected from them in their tasks. Informing employees of what is expected of them is a most important employee relations task. At the end of the appraisal period, the appraiser observes work performance and evaluates it against established performance standards. The evaluation...

...Clipboard Tablet Co. We sell 3 different types of handheld tablets. The X5 tablet is targeted at the price conscious market whereas X6 is targeted at the performance oriented market. X7 is the newest product with focus on consumers that value both price and performance. Let us review the performance of each product category along with my proposed strategy and recommendations for the forthcoming years. Let me Start with X5: Indeed, X5 is aimed at price conscious consumers. The company has historically done quite well with this product in the last 5 years in terms of performance against the competition. The sales for this product peaked in 2013. However, the sales started declining after 2013 in the last couple of years due to saturation of the market. Joe kept the pricing of this product same throughout this period which turned out to be negative for the company as the organization needed a price cut in order to attract customers from other competing products. Since the product was competitive in terms of performance, Joe should have declined R&D investment on this product as consumers were more price conscious than performance conscious for this product. ("forio.com," 2015) Since this product competes in a highly saturated price conscious segment, my recommendation will be to reduce investment in R&D on this product as performance is not required to attract buyers. The target market is “first time buyer” and low product pricing. The company should spent minimal amount on R&D and...

...Rana, Matthew Ross, Michele De Simon, Mohit Kumar How would the different theories discussed by Conner (1991) explain differences in performance among firms? Conner has discussed the differences in performances amongst firms by analyzing the following list of theories: 1. Neo-Classical Theory: Performance is the same across the industry because the industry is characterized by ‘Perfect Competition’. Perfect competition comprises of the following assumptions – Larger number of buyers and suppliers, Homogeneity of the demand, Mobility of resources and Rationality of complete market information. Therefore in such a market setting firms cannot achieve economic profit. 2. Bain-type IO Theory: Above normal performance could be achieved only through collusion encouragement, which in turn leads to monopoly. In an industry characterized by collusion and monopoly, the largest firm has the power to set prices and expand its own market share further, leading to above normal performance. 3. Schumpeter Theory: The core of this theory states that the performance of a firm is driven by Innovation. Monopoly is a more favorable condition for process of innovation because it decreases inherent investment risks involved. Through innovation a firm can achieve indistinctive competence and edge over competitors leading to higher returns and performance. 4. Chicago Theory: This theory is driven by efficiency in production and distribution. Costly information is required to maximize...

...experienced knitter is more likely to find that both speed and accuracy are facilitated by the encouraging presence of co-actors. Conversely, novices may find a knitting group counter-productive due to inhibitory factors such as distraction and evaluation potential, and that initially they are better off alone. Heuristically, social facilitation effects (SFE) are thus determined by two moderating variables: task complexity and the form of social presence; either co-actors or passive spectators. In contrast to interactive group-behaviour, SFE will only occur if the other(s) present neither reinforce behaviour, give instruction, compete or set any form of performance standard. At first glance, this ‘phenomenon’ may appear axiomatic, particularly when contrasted with more complex interactive social influence. However, SFE represent the minimal conditions required for social influence, and thus constitute a ‘building block’ of social interaction. Notwithstanding, this comparatively simple formulation, SFE have proved hard to extrapolate for theoretical analysis and practical application, as ‘mere presence effects’ (Zajonc, 1965) tend to be submerged by other forms of behavioural responses, namely, social conformity, evaluation potential, competition and distraction. Moreover, the presence of others is not a dichotomous construct as noted by Allport, who defined social psychology as the study ‘of the experience of real, implied, or imagined others’ (1985, p.3). SFE have been a feature...

...Consulting Paper: An Effective Appraisal System Jessica Kaplaner Introduction There are several performance rating methods used by the official rater when evaluating employees’ performance. Some are more effective than others. Performance rating scales are one of the most effective scales to use when assessing an employee’s performance and are constantly being used to determine employees’ job performance (Cascio, 2013). They’ve been heavily relied on to thoroughly assess and precisely convey job performance specifically through behaviors. These systems are easy to understand by providing specific behavior statements related to employee behavior and the organization’s objective.

...Reimbursement and Pay-for-Performance Tessa Zendner HCS/531 March 2nd, 2015 Georgetta Baptist Reimbursement and Pay-for-Performance Pay-for-performance programs have changed the way physicians provide care in many sectors of the health care industry. They impact reimbursement, especially in regard to Medicare and Medicaid. Pay-for-performance has effects on both the quality and efficiency of health care delivery, although its overall impact it a matter of debate. There are studies that show improvement in quality of care in some areas, and others that show no difference in outcomes. There may even be negative repercussions and ethical issues stemming from the enactment of these initiatives. The goal will be to revise and adapt the system within the evolving health care landscape in order to provide the best outcomes possible for both providers and consumers. Pay-for-performance Pay-for-performance is an incentive program defined by the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute as, “a term that describes health-care payment systems that offer financial rewards to providers who achieve, improve, or exceed their performance on specified quality and cost measures, as well as other benchmarks” (Pay for Performance, 2012). Pay-for-performance has become a popular tool to attempt to improve quality and efficiency in health care. It is becoming more widespread with the enactment of The Patient...

Secondly, by having a plan in place it creates smooth, internal transition of staff, allowing the organization to save both time and money. By putting in a succession management plan, a company will be able to support new organizational structures and flexibility by providing back up for various positions and removing stress from one particular employee, such as having a program that involves employee rotation. Fourthly, succession plans help to develop employees for new opportunities and in turn giving them the required skills to increase their own performance and employee morale. Lastly, by taking into account employee’s performance and promoting them to new possible positions, it allows them to recognize their potential career paths and personal goals within the organization while also maintaining a positive and motivating working environment.
