Describe what the potential causes of poor performance for each of the following employees might be and solutions that could enhance the person’s performance.

CH 8 Performance Appraisal

Performance Diagnosis
Managing the performance of employees is a vital—yet delicate—responsibility. One of the toughest aspects of performance management is assessing why someone is not performing well. Although it may be easy to spot who is not performing well, it is not always easy to diagnose the underlying causes of that person’s poor performance (such as their motivation, ability, and external constraints). But without a correct diagnosis, it is nearly impossible to fix the problem. Managers also need to coach employees to improve their performance.

Assignment
Following are descriptions of three different employees. Describe what the potential causes of poor performance for each of the following employees might be and solutions that could enhance the person’s performance.

1.Carl Spackler is the assistant greenskeeper at Bushwood Country Club. Over the past few months, members have been complaining that gophers are destroying the course and digging holes in the greens. Although Carl has been working evenings and weekends to address the situation, the problem persists. Unfortunately, his boss is interested only in results, and because the gophers are still there, he contends that Carl is not doing his job. He has accused Carl of “slacking off” and threatened his job.

2.Clark Griswold works in research and development for a chemical company that makes non-nutritive food additives. His most recent assignment has been the development of a non-nutritive aerosol cooking spray, but the project is far behind schedule and seems to be going nowhere. CEO Frank Shirley is decidedly upset and has threatened that if things do not improve, he will suspend bonuses again this year, as he did last year. Clark feels dejected because without the bonus he will not be able to make a down payment on the family’s swimming pool.

3.Tommy Callahan Jr. recently graduated from college after 7 years and returned home to Sandusky, Ohio. His father, Big Tom Callahan, the owner of Callahan Motors, offers Tommy a job in the auto parts factory that makes brake pads. The factory is in severe danger of going under unless sales of the company’s new brake pads increase dramatically. Tommy must go on the road with Richard (Big Tom’s right-hand man) in a last-ditch effort to save the company. But Tommy proves to be unfocused, inexperienced, and lacking in confidence. In sales call after sales call he meets with rejection, even when the prospect looks promising. Customers express some concern about a warranty on the brake pads, but Richard believes that Tommy’s inexperience and awkward approach are the big problems.

What are the pros and cons of focusing on groups in talent development? What support would be needed in leadership to ensure that the participants get the most out of their interactions with others?

Human Resource Management ed 16, Chapter 9, page 331

The money transfer provider Western Union has adjusted to many market changes throughout its 160-plus year lifespan, which has allowed the company to increase its base of operations to almost 60 nations with a total workforce of over 11,000 workers. With recent trends pointing to a greater need to satisfy tech-savvy customers, Western Union hired a new CEO who spearheaded an innovative movement to improve customer service-this, included the advancement of more digital and mobile interactions with customers, as well as an expectation that employees would “go the extra mile for customers”. These initiatives required a broad cultural change in the organization, prompting the collective development of managers and employees in teams.
The first step of this process involved getting the learning organization at Western Union to evaluate the usefulness of the company’s performance management system (including the use of performance reviews and rankings). It was determined that these efforts were both expensive and unpopular, which meant that improvements were needed.
A new program called GPS (short for Guide Performance Succeed) was crafted to help leaders improve their teams. Establishing workable development goals for teams and providing continual feedback were key elements of this process. Leaders and team members were also held accountable for goals that improved talent development.
To successfully implement GPS, the learning and development group at Western Union designed a training plan called Leadership in Action. This program used “leadership circles:’ which required groups of managers to be mentored by a senior leader who taught them the basics of GPS and provided practice opportunities. The program was particularly effective because high-profile leaders such as the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Information Officer were involved in the actual sessions-participants paid more attention.
Overall, GPS required participants to meet once a month to discuss various talent management issues, and key materials were sent ahead of time to enhance the discussions. Given that individuals are spread across the company’s large global footprint, meetings were conducted through teleconferencing. Discussion sessions focused on important themes such as establishing goals, effective communication, and coaching at work. All these topics increased the level of talent development among team members. Initial evaluations of these programs showed that employee engagement increased because of the discussion sessions. In addition, the learning organization at Western Union plans to use leadership circles in the future to facilitate new training and development opportunities.
