Performance management is a continuous process of identifying, measuring and developing the performance of individuals and teams and aligning performance with the strategic goals of the organisation. In recent times, there has been a debate of efficacy of Performance Management Systems with some scholars questioning the real purpose and applicability of the PM process.

The contents must be coherent and presented in a logical sequence (not just copy and paste from various sources) leading to a conclusion. In your assessment, include the legislative environment, performance-based award systems and employee motivation within a PM system Word Limit: 1500 words The Future of Performance Management Systems The next steps for performance management systems within the workplace seems to be bound for major improvement. Due to the workforce is key in any industry, it is important to develop new ways of communication between managers and workers in order to ensure satisfaction in both parties. According to the experience of traditional performance management to create a true system for managing it is required flexibility, communication, and focus on the organisation needs. Not only the need to improve channels to obtain a more accurate assessment has been noted, but also due to new technologies implementation and the increasing need to share and receive information in real time it becomes undeniable that the cycle between assessments has to be reduce. For this reason waiting for a yearly appraisal to address achievements or major failures seems to be extremely long. On one hand the actual procedures to obtain a performance appraisal seems to be extremely inaccurate because of a lack of continuous assessment, which brings to an easily discourage workforce3. This happens when in various episodes an important achievement has been overlooked and probably forgotten for when the review time comes. For this reason it is important to develop better performance management systems in terms of acknowledge properly the good or bad behaviour of every worker involved in a certain activity. Along with this is is also important address the amount of stress that this reviews could cause on every member of the team. As an example of this, many Japanese companies use a long stablished performance management custom, giving their workers an extremely dangerous fear of failure when appraisal times come as well as a fairly known work overload . This kind of old fashioned systems push their workers to an irreparable edge sometimes resulting in alcoholism, poor work life balance or even suicide attempts. As serious as it is in Japan4 probably it is not the same for other companies around the world. Even though it is important to have a closer relation between worker and manager, sharing feedback to ensure a continuous improvement along the way and also making sure that the workforce is being properly encouraged by providing all the safety mentally and physically for each member of any team. On the other hand the need to align the employees deliverables with the company objectives it is also a very important milestone to achieve a sustainable performance management system through time5. Many objectives and procedures of different companies are outdated and do not represent the reality regarding the technology advances and new environmental initiatives as well as new procedures. For this reason it is important to clearly state in specific terms the output and attitudes expected of employee to achieve a certain outcome. It is also mandatory to have an overall review on the procedures of the company to make sure it is still outlined with the employee expectations regarding time frames, quality and quantity of the workload. An example of this might be after the COVID 19 hit around the world all of the delivery companies had a normal operation, but after the pandemic, the usage of this services increased potentially, not only for electronics or clothes, but also for essentials as goods and medicines on a daily basis. Pushing companies to update their operations procedures, their online systems capability but specially and the most affected area was the customer service support. Due to social distancing in many countries the call centres used for this purpose where no longer in use, and many of them are even definitively closed. Creating an extra workload on 3 4 https://www.techfunnel.com/hr-tech/performance-management-system/ https://asia.nikkei.com/Opinion/Employers-must-help-cut-Japan-s-suicide-rate 5 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258172522_Performance_Management_System_Issues_an d_Challenges the employees as they have to use their own resources and sometimes even extra hours to finish the same activity. This new normality must also impulse a review on the performance management systems and indicators to adjust to this many changes and do not have a wrong qualification of employees that have not meet the standard criteria of the company. In conclusion to develop a sustainable work performance management system it is mandatory to improve the tools and techniques that are actually in place. To achieve that it is important to observe and assist performance by watching attentively as the plan puts in action and intervene where and when necessary to ensure compliance. Also evaluate performance in a continuous way during task execution as well as assess outcomes. Interact and positively review constantly discussing performance, sharing observations, requesting employee feedback and jointly innovate on how to improve in the future. TASK 3 In this assessment, you will be required to develop a performance management plan for a fictitious company. You may also take an example of your current or previous workplace but must produce your own work (use of existing organisational documents will be considered as plagiarism). However, some references can be used with appropriate citation and referencing. Your trainer/assessor will provide you with referencing guidelines. Develop a performance management plan that includes; ▪ Executive summary Buy n’ Ride is a company that has been developed to meet a gap in the market in this city.

After this plan was put in place the company met its expectations in the following areas: - Customer satisfaction increased to a steady 97% - Average returns where reduced notoriously and the acceptance increased to a 85%. This item still needs to be improved. Actions are already being attempt to improve. - Time management has been the major improvement of this plan achieving an outstanding 93% exceeding our expectations.

To achieve that the company has switched the packaging to a sustainable material achieving a reduction of 70%. For this matter there is still the need to take further actions to keep the reduction and met the expectations for the next two review periods. ▪ PM aims and objectives This performance management plan aim is to provide a continuous improvement in the operation of the online purchase and delivery chain in terms of net revenue, customer satisfaction and employee overall performance. It has been developed entirely with the compliance of each manager and employees. The goals stated in this plan are going to be used to evaluate the performance of the employees at the end of every three month period along the current financial year. - Customer satisfaction.- the use of this metric its fundamental for many companies and is based on the average rate that a customer provides after each purchase/ delivery and return/refunds. Achieve and average customer satisfaction of 95% of the enquires. - Management.- assess each branch performance measure in terms of team’s goals. Each branch will be responsible of reducing return of wrong or damaged delivered products. The acceptance rate will be of no less than 90%. - Time management.- reduce time of delivery. Improving shipping time of each shopper by providing a detailed quadrant map to easily identify products on every aisle of the supermarket. Divide the area of each branch into specific quadrants and assign a more dynamic and reachable route to each delivery partner. This metric will be measure in terms of improving efficiency of delivery times from an actual 65% to a 85% by the end of the period. - Sustainability.- As part of our green initiative the company will be replacing as much as possible plastic packaging for paper bags. Reduce the delivery’s process carbon print within 50%. - Human Resources.- measure employee satisfaction by team and aggressively communicate this information to the entire organization to encourage managers to improve employee retention. Reduce attrition to less than 5% for high performers. ▪ Key business processes (target performance areas) 1.- On-time shipping.- ( Within the limit / total shipped) x 100 OTS = ( 130 / 200 ) x 100 = 65% OTS needs 20% improvement. 2.- Order accuracy.- ( #perfect orders / total orders ) x 100 % accuracy = ( 160 / 200 ) x 100 = 80% % accuracy needs 10% improvement 3.- Attrition rate (period of time ).- ( #employees left / average # employees ) x 100 % attrition rate = ( 4 / 16 ) x 100 = 25% % attrition rate needs to be reduce by 20% 4.- Customer retention rate.- ((CE – CN) / CS )) x 100 6 CE = Number of customers at the end of period = 300 CN = Number of new customers acquired during period = 75 CS = Number of customers at start of period = 250 CRR = ( ( 300 – 75 ) / 250 ) x 100 = 90% ▪ PM framework (the PM need and how it will be addressed; what, why and how) The performance management framework is the core of the plan because it gives managers the framework, support and tools with which to make a systematic, continuous improvements to the overall service delivered to customers. It supports the achievement of better outcomes for customers by providing an accountability of the actions of each team member on every step of the chain. By using the key performance indicators it is possible to define a desired performance vs the actual performance and identify the gap between them and the limits where this indicators should be. The focus of the indicators is the employee performance relating to time management, employee satisfaction and efficiency based on these it will be possible to improve customer satisfaction. 6 https://www.userlike.com/en/blog/customer-service-kpi After this first assessment it will be possible for the managers to identify the root or cause for the gap between the performance acceptance and the actual performance rates. One of most important reasons that this plan will identify is the lack of proper training and continuous mentoring for every employee. The best way to close the performance gap is to develop better training and mentoring programs throughout the period to ensure that at the end the goals are being achieved. By implanting this programs the employees should be able to improve time management and fulfil the required time frame for each delivery, resulting in an increase of employee efficiency as well as customer retention rate by providing and accurate and on-time order. ▪ Key PM Approach and tools (e.g. balanced score card approach) ––– BUY N’ RIDE ––– CUSTOMER FINANCIAL STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES Increase company profitability Optimize revenue and expenses Maintain high levels of customer satisfaction Increase customer profitability KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS % Net profit margin TARGETS INITIATIVES CURRENT INTERVAL NEXT 7% T 12% $ Net cash flow 22.101 M 24 $ Sales to date 30.564 T 35.05 $ Cost per ride 0.24 M 0.12 32% T 50% % Only one order rate 16% M 10% $ Revenue per client 300 M 350 12 M 5 % Survey excellent score $ Average new customer acquisition cost PROGRAMS N/A Begin customer rewards project Project to train employees on new customer rewards BUDGETS N/A $5,000.00 initiative 0.5 hour per employee INTERNAL PROCESSES Build and improve the customer network Increase shoppers expertise Improve service delivery Build a culture that encourages innovation LEARNING Nurture highperforming employees # New customers 315 M 350 % Market share 6% T 10% Average order fulfilment time 315 M 350 % Scheduling adherence 6% T 10% 9 M 7 % Active projects running on time 75% M 85% and on budget 50% M 55% # Employee engagement index 27 T 40 # Ideas received for new/improved service from employees 25 M 25 75% T 85% 9% M 5% 15 M 18 % Processes optimized % Employee satisfaction % Employee turnover Continuously improve skills and competence # Training hours per full-time equivalent % Employees meeting professional development requirements 72% T 85% Training for shoppers Review the service delivery process 0.5 hour per shopper 5.0 hours manager Ask for and reward employee ideas that improve processes Write up employee innovations in the company newsletter Determine bonus structure for successive years of service Group to decide rewards for completed training programs $25/idea, $500/success idea Groups: 5 hours manager 1 hour manager ▪ Performance planning and risk assessment PERFORMANCE PLANNING During the period of the PIP the employee will be monitored to assess if appropriate improvement is being made.
