Read the article from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) by Dori Meinert, (2015): Is it Time to Put the Performance Review on a PIP? (https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/hr-magazine/pages/0415-qualitative-performance-reviews.aspx)
Your supervisor has tasked you with creating a new performance appraisal system for your department. Your first step is to determine what criteria and competencies are to be evaluated.
Write an essay of at least 250 words, double-spaced, with proper reference citation per current APA guidelines. Ensure you have a cover page, introduction, body, and conclusion for your essay and include:
Summarize your "new" performance appraisal and explain the criteria and competencies you selected. Justify your rationale for the areas you’ve selected.
Why will your new performance appraisal better assess and measure employees' work performance?
What is your intended employee and organizational outcomes for your new type of appraisal? How would a fair and equitable performance appraisal increase motivation in your department? Justify and support your rationale.
Ensure you have credible resources to support your responses.
