Post-Module Group Assignment
This module focused on the importance of performance management in developing employees, fostering engagement and increasing productivity. Your group activity for this week is to design a performance management plan for your company that includes the four (4) stages highlighted in the pre-reading for this module. Each stage of the process should be well defined, include specific action items and communicate expected outcomes.
Here are a few things to consider:
- The workplace as a multigenerational environment means that a one-size fits all approach has a low chance of being successful. Your plan should consider the needs and expectations of Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.
- First time managers need a tailored training path and consistent mentorship to help them be effective and continue to grow in their new roles. How will your plan provide this much needed support?
- Technology plays an important part in ensuring the performance management process is as seamless and as convenient as possible for employees who prioritize efficiency in their day-to-day work. Think about how you will leverage technology in creating a performance management process your employees at all job levels will fully embrace.
Happy Planning!
