Task 2.

Some mostly used performance appraisal systems are

Rating Scale

This methodology requires an employer to develop an in-depth grading system, similar to the way students in school are assessed. The scale is use to evaluate an employee success within a variety of areas, such as technical skill set, teamwork and communication skills.

Management By Objectives (MBO)

MBO performance appraisal was first introduced by management theorist, Peter Drucker.(Suchi,2012) MBO requires a manager and employee to agree upon specific, obtainable objectives with a set deadline. In this method, the emphasis is on tangible and measurable goals. 

General Performance Appraisal

This appraisal method involves ongoing communication between the manager and employee throughout the entire year. At the end of the year, we can determine whether the pre-set goals and objectives were met, provide feedback, and set new goals. (McPheat, 2007)

The 360-degree feedback

This method of appraisal involves allowing other employees to fill out a questionnaire detailing their experiences with a specific employee. The feedback of an employee can be review by all. All 360 degrees of the employee's working and working style are analyze but involve the whole circle of individuals with whom the employee interacts for work. These feedbacks are then passed onto the employee to increase their work productivity.

Behavioral Appraisal

It is a behavioral related Appraisal system, which generally measures the observable behavior of the employee. It assesses the employee based upon what they do. It looks whether the employee has met the needs of the company, if he/she has done the work in the proper manner.

According to me, I would like to follow the 360-degree performance appraisal system, as it is one the modern way of appraisal system. The outcome of 360-degree performance appraisal is highly engaged review, which gives a complete understanding of one’s personal performance, and a true evaluation of our skill set that we are presenting while doing the work. (Task, 2012) It enables us to create a solid action plan that can be link to our personal or professional goals for further learning and development.

360 degree appraisal

The 360-degree performance appraisal is best way of managing appraisal of employees as it covers everyone. (Akrani, 2011) The major six parties which 360-degree appraisal affect are:

Top Management

The top management normally evaluates the middle level managers; they evaluate the performance of lower level managers and senior employees.

Immediate Superior

The immediate superior evaluates the performance of his subordinates.

Peers/Co-Workers

As they work continuously with each other, they know each other’s performance. Peer evaluation is used mostly in case where teamwork is important.

Subordinates

They can also evaluate the performance of his superior.

Self-Appraisal

They can also evaluate their own work, and the result is for self-development.

Customers

Customer can evaluate the performance of employees who interacts them. This is important because customers are the most important part of business.

Task 3

The making of plans or objective is the crucial part of handling a business. A business cannot process well, if it is not properly handle. Before making any plans for the business, we must know where our business stands. The SWOT analysis is an excellent way to know our position, problems and opportunities.

SWOT Analysis

The SWOT stands for Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. The SWOT analysis helps the business to know their strength, weakness, analyze their threats and know their opportunities to overcome such threats. It is a good framework for reviewing strategy, position and direction of a company or business proposition. (Renault, 2012)

When conducted on IT Vision Company, we found the following things:

Strength

Group of highly qualified manpower

Product and Services at Low Cost

Bringing new innovative ideas to the table

Good Working environment

Weakness

Failed to create good impression among customers

No promotional activities

Lack of team building seminars

Good Leadership

Opportunities

The huge market of Computer and IT field.

High demand of IT products in Nepal

Overseas investors

Threats

Unstable Political Condition

Competitors

Load Shedding

The action plans is a process, which help us to focus our ideas and to decide what steps we need to take to achieve a particular goals. It is a statement of what we want to achieve over a given period. Preparing an action plan is a good way to help us to reach our objectives.

Since IT Vision has not been able to reach many people, due to lack of promotions and good leadership qualities. An action plan is created to achieve those goals in upcoming days.

Task 4

A problem is defined as the unexpected circumstance or situation, which stops us, prevents us from achieving our goal. Problems are not a big of issue, once we have identified our problem. (Kastelle, 2012) Problems solving is easy, when we can narrow down our problems.

Some of the common ways in which we can solve every kind of problems are

By defining a Problem

Analyzing the Problem

Identifying Possible Solutions

Selecting Best Solution

Developing an Action Plan

Implementing a Solution

From the SWOT analysis, the two major problems faced by the IT Vision Company are

Technology

The pace of technology improvement is improving at an exponentially increasing rate. Being an IT company, we need to catch up with the newest technology and trends. However, the company has failed to do so until now. The company still has not been able to keep up with changing technology and are facing problems when it comes to new innovation

Good Leadership

Good Leaders not only maintain standard of quality to the company, but also directly or indirectly affects how the employees work. Good Leaders are confident and has the capability of taking quick decision. However, the leader present in IT vision has failed to prove their leadership qualities. They have failed to raise the bar of quality and enthusiasm among the workers.

The IT vision Company can solve their every problem if they can find time and follow the problem solving rules:

By Identifying the Problem

The main part of problem solving is identifying the problem, once the IT Vision can figure out their problem. They can start working for their solutions.

Identifying the Cause

Once we find out what are the problems of IT vision, we then need to figure out why is there such kind of problem. We have to go in deep to find out the possible causes of the problem.

Brainstorming for ideas

After finding out the problems and its cause, the next step the company can take is to think about possible solutions. Not every solution is bound to be correct. Therefore, it is very necessary to brainstorm for possible solution for our problems.

Selecting Appropriate Solution

Once we figure out a few solutions for our problems, we then need to pick the best solution out of them. The solution, which provides best way of solving the company’s problem, is then chosen.

Implement and Check the Impact

Once the company applies the solution for its problem solving, we need to check whether we took the correct solution or not. We need to check the entire possible scenario and confirm about our selection. If the problems are not solving, we should follow the same strategy again for proper solution.

The above strategy is an excellent way for the company and the team members to overcome every problems of their life. The problem solving strategies are essential to eliminate problems as soon as you can.
