Answer 3 for HRM 635 Explain how the performance appraisal tool used within your respective organizations aligns with the organization’s strategic goals

I am new to management and haven’t had an opportunity to complete a yearly performance evaluation for my direct reports yet. But as a new manager, I am doing my best to conduct an ongoing process – review my employees’ attendance and their performance in association with their job description and organizational goals. After being a manager for six months, I have identified that some staff members were violating attendance policy and had an excessive number of sick calls. I have met with several employees to review their attendance. I have presented them with their attendance record and highlighted the number of their sick calls. We have reviewed the hospital’s policy and identified the need for improvement. For some of the employees, the decision was made to reach out to the disability office to get assistance to meet their medical needs. During a one-on-one with my employees, I make sure that we have a dialog, so the employee feels more comfortable discussing their concerns and we can be more realistic when setting their goals. Dessler highly recommends building a dialog rather than just giving orders to the employees (2020).

The performance management process has a direct influence on employee growth and development. This process allows to focus on employee development and encourages frequent and honest development conversations throughout the year (Rutgers University Human Resources, 2023). To ensure that development occurs consistently it is essential to continuously provide feedback and coaching. The performance management process is also crucial in aligning employee performance with organizational goals. It is a powerful tool that allows employees to see how their goals tie to the mission and vision of their organization.
