How to create a Performance Management Plan

Part A: The written portion of the Term Team Assignment

This Term Team Assignment has two parts. The first part is a written document. The second part is a video showing the performance management process. 

Training is important but keeping the level of competency that results from training is equally important for organizations to achieve its strategy goals. 

In this team assignment, the team will create a performance management plan from job description through training to tracking growth and development. 

The paper will include: 

• A job posting for an entry level job for a company. Use one found on a job website such as Indeed.com or Monster.ca 

• Research the company and explore the cultural values, job position, and performance of employees of the company in the similar position. The paper will document the outcome of this research.

• Develop an off-the-job training program that reflects the values of the company. The training program will include a summary lesson plan, demonstrated SMART objectives that align to the values of the position and the organization. The paper will include the relevant documents for off-the-job training including the summary lesson plan with SMART objectives and evaluation tools. 

• Develop a mentoring/coaching program that supports the employee after off-the job training for this position. The mentoring/coaching program needs to follow best practices for mentoring and coaching. The paper will include the mentoring/coaching program. The mentoring/coaching program needs to align to both the off-the-job training and on-the-job training. 

• Develop a series of performance management criteria for this position that aligns to the training, mentoring and coaching programs. The paper will include performance management criteria based on the job posting. There needs to be an alignment of the criteria to the onthejob mentoring and off-the-job training. 

• Develop the performance review process that follows best practice. The paper will include the process, who is involved, the roles of the people involved, the setup and the expected outcome of the performance review process. 

• Create a possible report from the performance review process. Using the criteria, what kind of outcome can result from the performance review? For each outcome in performance management, provide an explanation and the next steps for either the company, the employee 
or both. 

In your team, you will role-play the performance review process as set out in the paper. The team will decide who is/are giving the performance review and who is receiving the performance review. A video will be created that demonstrate the performance review process using the performance management criteria. All team members must participate. As this is performance management it is expected, within reason, that the team members are visible in the video. The video will not be longer than 20 minutes.
