Question: Discussion-Employee Evaluations
Since you will evaluate your employees in about three months, you have some time to plan and strategize. As a preliminary step to making a recommendation to human resources regarding your plans for the upcoming evaluations, discuss your goals for employee performance appraisals. Compare at least two existing approaches to employee evaluations, including actual appraisal systems, and make a recommendation based on scholarly references.
Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research employee evaluations and performance management systems.
Then, respond to the following:
- How does the organization address cultural differences? Alternatively, how would you recommend these approaches be modified?
- What cultural challenges do you foresee in the use of performance management systems and subsequent communication with employees?
- Make a recommendation regarding which performance management system would be most appropriate in the context of organizational needs.
