Some of the relevant aspects of an organization's strategic and operational plans that are addressed
in performance management processes include: achieving the organization's annual SMART goals
(distributing responsibilities for planning, supervision, evaluation, and review), establishing
timelines for the implementation of performance management processes (pilot testing, training,
etc.), and providing periodic reports (monthly and/or quarterly) on employee performance.
Summarise key features of, or attach copies of any policies in your organisation relevant to,
performance management.
Key features of the policies used at Australian Hardware company
Three performance management policies are as follows:
• Plans and policies for performance evaluation
• Policies and plans for professional development
• Employee objectives and adherence to key performance indicators
What legislation have you considered when beginning to create processes for performance
management?
Australian Hardware company has followed the following legislation in order to create processes
for performance management:
Step 1: Take an informal approach. The employer should make a first informal attempt to address a
dispute.
Step 2: Schedule a formal meeting with the employee. A trade union representative or a co-worker
has the legal right to accompany the employee to a grievance hearing. The meeting gives the
employee the opportunity to clarify the grievance and provide facts, information, or proof to back
up the complaint.
Step 3: Conduct a grievance inquiry. Include communicating with witnesses and anybody else
involved in the case. This will aid in shedding light on the complaint and establishing the facts of
the case.
Step 4: The outcome of the grievance. The choice has been made and conveyed to others.
Step 5: File a grievance.
Your objectives for performance-management processes and how these support your
organisation’s strategy and goals.
How you will use these processes to develop organisational capability.
Self-reflection Report
People are the most valuable asset in Australia Hardware. People are the primary drivers of a
company's success. As a result, it is critical that Australia Hardware develops a sustainable
performance management culture and conducts research on some of the best-in-class firms that have
gotten their methods right. Some of the significant differentiators I've found in firms that take care in
getting the performance management process right are: Performance management is viewed as a tool
for company. It begins with performance planning, which involves matching the organization's goals
with its long-term vision, market realities, and organizational priorities. Goals are relevant, linked to
overarching objectives, and are cascaded from top to bottom in a timely manner. Assuring that
managers can set appropriate goals, create ownership, and provide useful performance and
development feedback. Performance ratings or assessment is a well-planned consulting process that
clarifies the consequences of ratings such as talent, remuneration, and so on. Practices are tailored to
the demands of businesses/business units, or they are tweaked to encourage innovation, speed,
creativity, or efficiency.
Part 1
When first establishing performance management practices, line managers may require further
assistance. This may involve assistance with performance monitoring as well as performance
management through skill development and the provision of expert advice. A performance
management system, like any other, is only effective if the individuals who use it are properly
educated. It is the Human Resources department's obligation to guarantee that all essential workers
understand how to use the system.
In order to develop KPI’s Managers must understand:
• How the performance management system fits with the organization's overall vision and strategy;
• The policies and procedures surrounding performance management;
• How to conduct a performance appraisal;
• Techniques for providing feedback;
• Legislation such as industrial relations, privacy law, and anti-discrimination;
• Recording and reporting requirements;
• How to complete a development plan.
Part 2: Create a written process (flowchart/procedure manual/other format of your choice) for formal
performance-management sessions to be followed by line managers. Attach to this assessment.
What communication processes did you follow to create these processes in consultation with
stakeholders?
Seek input in the following areas while consulting with stakeholders.
Suggestions for features include:
• Forms of input and output, as well as documentation
• Style and accessibility alternatives
• Options for reporting
• • Input cost and value
For the consultation with stakeholders we have used the communication process of forms of input
and outputs as well as documentation.
Describe how you have gathered support for this process from stakeholders
Task 6
In the company the records as well as outcomes of company will be secured by using the following
policies. An efficient performance management system must include detailed documentation. Written
records confirm the existence of conversations. It is important to understand that the records you
create may be utilized in judicial processes. They are legal papers, therefore
You should take every precaution to record correct performance management data .All monitoring
evidence and outcomes of performance-management sessions must be documented. This should be
done in compliance with organizational policy and appropriate regulations (for example, an
employee's right to privacy). This is not restricted to the conclusion.
Performance reports are saved. Employee records should never be left accessible to anybody other
than the management and the employee.
A worker may experience some pain if a boss exercises their rightful power at work. The
question of whether top management is reasonable is defined by looking at the actual
management action rather than a worker's perception of it, and if the management action
involves a significant deviation from established policies or procedures, whether the
deviation was reasonable in the circumstances. An objective test in a court of law would
evaluate what is reasonable. A court, on the other hand, could examine the following
instances of legitimate managerial action:
• establishing reasonable and attainable performance objectives, criteria, and timelines
• transferring a worker to another area or role for operational reasons • deciding not to
select a worker for a promotion where a fair and transparent process is followed •
informing a worker about unsatisfactory work performance in an honest, fair, and
constructive manner • informing a worker about unreasonable behaviour in an objective
and confidential manner
• carrying out organizational reforms or restructuring, and
• Disciplinary action, such as suspension or termination of work, where appropriate or
warranted in the circumstances.
Dispute Resolution process
issues
Identified
Who did you contract (internal or external) to deliver this learning? What organisational policy did you
need to consult before engaging this person or organisation (if any)?
Attach evidence that you have monitored the quality of this training (participant feedback, pre and post
training sales results, customer feedback pre and post training, etc.) You must generate a report for
managers as part of this evidence, to advise appropriate managers of progress and success rates of this
training plan’s implementation.
We used the organizational policy of informing the employees and trainees beforehand. Notify staff of the
training session in writing two weeks in advance. The letter should underline the significance of the
training and explain that it is required. Unjustified absences will result in a rescheduled training charge.
Was any remedial action required? How did you/how would you negotiate this action if the training
delivered was substandard based on learner feedback?
Report
Executive Summary
This report was written for , the HR General Manager at Australian Hardware. The goal of this report
is to inform the Senior Management Team about training outcomes, performance data interpretation,
and interventions that will be required to correct issues.
i. Training Results Australian Hardware plans to train 4,000 salespeople across 138 stores. The
goal of this training is to provide knowledge of sustainability practices and to implement a new sales
model. According to the analysis of the first level of training, only 367 employees were trained in the
new sales model and 270 in sustainability practices. However, 90% of them had a good average
assessment score. Randomised observations show that 45% of trainees apply some features of the
sales model they were trained in, and that there is some use or mention of sustainability practices in
their daily discussions with customers, and that 68% of customers are aware of sustainability
practices, and that 67% are satisfied with their Australian Hardware shopping experience. As a result
of the training, the salesperson trained earned $20,000 less per month than expected.
ii. Performance Data Interpretation Having 90% of trainees complete the training with an
average assessment score of 90% is good; however, after interviews with sales employees, it was
discovered that the assessment was simple, and the ten-question multiple choice assessment was
inconvenient, resulting in a lack of knowledge to have face-to-face dealings with customers.
Managers emphasized that sales staff were not mentioning sustainability as an important differentiator
and were not following the sales model, which included asking customers about their specific needs
and potential future needs. Achieving the Australian Hardware targets of having 80% of training skills
applied on the job and having 95% of customers' awareness of sustainability practices and customer
satisfaction ratings are issues that must be resolved in order to achieve the $35,000 of funding.
ii. Interpretation of Performance Data Having 90% of trainees complete the training
with a 80% average assessment score is good; however, after interviews with sales employees, it was
discovered that the assessment was easy, and the ten-question multiple choice assessment were
inconvenient, resulting in a lack of knowledge to have face-to-face dealings with customers.
Managers emphasized that sales employees were not discussing sustainability as an essential
differentiation and were not following the sales approach, which included asking consumers about
their unique demands and potential future needs. Achieving the Australian Hardware targets of having
80% of training skills applied on the job and 95% of customers' awareness of sustainability practices,
as well as customer experience satisfaction ratings, are issues to be resolved in order to achieve
$35,000 in revenue per month results. The purpose of the assessment is to put to the test the
knowledge gained after the training and ensure that the employees were aware of sustainability
practices and could put them into practice on the job.
iv. Conclusion
Train Your Way Up will be required to change the assessment' The methodology in order to achieve
better results and meet the Australian Hardware' targets. Line managers will now be involved in
monitoring employees' implementation of sales training on the job.
2nd Scenario
You are the General Manager of Human Resources at Australian Hardware.
An external training provider has delivered three months of pilot training to sales staff, and you are
reviewing the effectiveness of the training that has been provided thus far. So far, data indicates that
the training is failing to meet targets. To ensure that the provider, Train Your Way Up, provides
effective training, you will need to develop strategies and a training schedule. You will also need to
renegotiate the training implementation with Train Your Way Up. Consider the following training
requirements agreed to by senior management team and HR at Australian Hardware.
• 4,000 sales staff to be trained, including the following characteristics:○an average of seven sales
people per product team
• four product teams per store○138 stores
• 30 trainers required
• only one person from each team may be trained at any one time
• sessions require one day face-to-face training
• staff need to be completely up-skilled and performing to targets within six months
