Human Resource Management – Appraisal and Perfomance

Performance issues in the workplace are common. They can include constant tardiness, too
much time at work handling personal matters, mishandling of proprietary information, drug
and alcohol problems, non-performance, theft, or conflicts in the workplace. This Modern
Human Resource Management – Appraisal and Performance will help you conduct the
professional performance appraisal and evaluation activities required in the modern
workplace. 

This course will first discuss the management of employee performance. You will learn that
having a set of policies that deal with performance issues in the workplace can eliminate
wrongful termination legal actions. You will learn about drug testing, whistleblowing,
collective bargaining, and interest-based bargaining as well as examine unions and their
functions. 

Next, you will study employee assessment procedures and performance evaluation systems.
The first step in designing a performance appraisal process is to determine how often the
appraisals will be given. You will learn that when developing performance appraisal criteria,
it is important to remember that the criteria should be job specific and industry-specific
because general performance criteria are not effective. The course will then discuss a
number of different rating methods, and look into workplace violence and bullying.

There are certain best practices that must be considered when developing, implementing,
and managing a performance appraisal system. It is also important that the appraisal system
is tied to the organization’s goals and the individual employee’s job description. This
