In light of this module’s required readings and your own research, respond to the scenario and prompts below.
Scenario:
For five years, Reham has worked as a Printing Manager for a Saudi Print Shop. During this time, the organization has grown to be a 24/7 operation, employing 75 employees. Saudi Print Shop is located in a large city, and customers often complain of having to travel 20-30 miles to submit and pick-up orders. The owner has decided he will open a second shop on the opposite side of the city. Until this point, the owner and management team has run operations without a performance management process. The owner recognizes a performance management process is highly needed to sustain growth. He has given Reham the duty of developing a performance management process.
Thoroughly evaluate and develop the following five elements of a performance management process:
- In the context of Saudi Print Shop, critically evaluate the availability of any prerequisites to implementing a performance management process.
- Discuss your plans for developing formal job descriptions for the employees at the second print shop.
- Explain key features of developing performance plans for the employees. Provide examples of factors you would consider in developing a plan for customer service personnel (who are employed by the shop).
- In the context of Saudi Print Shop, create three results-oriented performance standards for all employees. How will you measure each performance standard?
