Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

As our organization grows, it is important to stay up to date with the industry’s evolving human resources practices to manage our employees effectively. In this project, students will design a preliminary model of a new performance evaluation system that emphasizes our company goals, and draws a focus to our main challenges that staff are facing.

Tasks include:

  • Speaking to current employees and management to determine the needs and challenges of our organization for a performance management system.
  • Researching performance management options that may suit the needs of our team, focusing on measurability and reliability.
  • Establishing a rollout plan that outlines how our organization will transition to using a new performance management system.
  • Using a weighted decision matrix to decide on a method based on factors such as efficiency, user-friendliness, measurability, reliability, and cost- effectiveness.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities (this is basically a retelling of the steps above):

  • Conducted research by speaking to company staff to determine needs and challenges of our current performance management system.
  • Completed research online to determine options for a new performance management system.
  • Created a rollout plan for the new performance management system.
  • Compiled a final report with data, research findings, and the rollout plan..

Final deliverables should include:

  • A final report outlining research conducted, various performance management options, the decision for the optimal strategy, and a rollout plan including considerations of adopting the new system..
  • A 20-minute presentation explaining all findings in the report.
