Comprehensive Answer Questions:
[4 × 3 = 12]Read the following case carefully and answer the questions that follow:
There was a rapidly growing tech company called ABC Tech Solutions. The company had a reputation for innovative technology solutions, but it struggled with managing its rapidly expanding workforce. The HR department was tasked with addressing two critical issues: performance appraisal, and recruitment and selection.
The performance appraisal system had been in place for years, but it was outdated and ineffective. The company had been using a traditional performance appraisal system that focused on individual performance metrics such as meeting project deadlines and achieving sales targets. The problem with this system was that it did not take into account the collaborative and cross-functional nature of many of the projects. Many employees felt that they were being unfairly evaluated and that the system did not accurately reflect their contributions to the company.
The HR department recognized the need for a more contemporary approach to performance appraisal. They decided to implement a 360-degree feedback system that would allow for feedback from managers, peers, and subordinates. This new system would encourage collaboration and teamwork and provide a more holistic view of an employee's performance. The HR department also provided training to managers on how to effectively deliver feedback and conduct performance evaluations.
Recruitment and selection were other significant challenges for ABC Tech Solutions. The company was expanding rapidly, and there was a constant need for new talent to keep up with the growth. However, the traditional recruitment and selection methods were not yielding the desired results. The company was struggling to attract top talent, and the new hires were not meeting expectations.
Questions:
a. Assess the problems raised by the case.
b. Suggest the alternatives in place of 360 Degree Feedback method of appraisal for ABC Tech Solutions? Explain.
c. How did the HR department provide training to managers on delivering effective feedback and conducting performance evaluations?
d. Give the suggestions to ABC Tech Solution for attracting top talent and meeting expectation from new hires.
