Assignment - What you have to do
You will need to conduct research into Performance Management Systems (PMS) and how these support the organisation. You should research widely and include a bibliography with your assessment to support your recommendations. If you provide direct quotes you should reference these both in text and with a reference list.
Part A-
Star Industries is a company on the move. They are experiencing growth in their industry and have plans to open operations interstate and in South East Asia. You can read more about STAR on the STAR intranet link.
The General Manager would like to ensure all STAR policies and procedures align with company goals, vision and mission. Lately there have been some performance issues internally and he has discovered the performance management system appears to be inadequate.
You've received the following email from Ben Russell, CEO Star Industries.
FROM: Ben Russell, CEO
TO: General Manager, Human Resources
SUBJECT: Performance Management Processes
I've been thinking more since my return from the conference about a presentation on 'Learning Organisations', which I found stimulating.
It seems to me that if STAR is to grow and develop, we should move to become a learning organisation.
With our increasing emphasis on team building and individual flexibility, we're on the right track. We also need to do more in areas like sharing information and skills.
It occurred to me that the new PM system will play a key role in our move. It will help us in a number of ways by managing individual and team performance and promoting excellence.
