ASSIGNMENT 3
Human
Capital and performance
Performance Appraisal Effectiveness
In Assignment 3 your task is to
1. What it has - look at how an enterprise quantifies and qualifies its human capital assets
(ie. how does it list and describe its people)2. What it measures - what specific techniques and measures does it apply to appraising the performance of its staff
- do you think the performance appraisal measures are effective?
- ie. how good are they at using performance appraisal interviews?
- would you suggest improvements
3. PERKS - if you accept the understanding that HR is the most important assest, it naturally follows that companies that have been investing in good people, will do something to make sure those people are happy, which then.. hopefully..means they will be productive and stay with the company a long time to contribute value and profitability. So, the question is, given the current economic situation in which companies are cutting expenses, what are some of the things they manage to do to provide perks for the employees they value?Google is famous for providing amazing perks to employees, you won't find that realistically, elsewhere, so just look for benefits and services that the company might give to help their people. Think of everything from pension contributions to childcare, to 50/50 for professional development courses etc.
| What you do | In order to
do this assignment you may select an enterprise that is/was a(n) employer
of one of the members of the group (which would be good because then you
have first-hand experience), or an enterprise of any company
- you will summarize you findings on a maximum of 3 pages, and then present the results to the class Nov 11th (maximum of 15 min per group) |
vv
| Caution | The reason it is suggested that you select a company in which a group member is an employee, is because such information may not be easily obtained from a firm by "strangers" since such information could be considered confidential or restricted for competitive reasons - keeping in mind that many companies consider their employees to be their number one resource, information about employees is sensitive. |
