Performance Management, another role and responsibility as a Human Resource Manager.

You now have been tasked with Performance Management, another role and responsibility as a Human Resource Manager. It’s important to have a performance management plan
set before the position is hired for. This is for a few reasons: Reduces the chance of bias in a performance evaluation. Reduces the chance of the performance
evaluation not aligning to the position. Sets expectations and standards that the new hire is aware of upfront. Enables all persons of a position to be evaluated on
the same criterion. Since you are new as a Human Resource Manager, and the Claims Supervisor is a new position, you need to have a plan for a performance management
system of the position. You are aware, from the job description, that it will require performance measurements that are both qualitative (text-based) and quantitative
(numbers-based). As the Human Resource Manager for Premium Auto Insurance, it is your role and responsibility to ensure you have a management performance system
without bias, that is legal and ethical, and that the performance system aligns to the position. Conduct academic research using the library’s databases, like Business
Source Complete via EBSCO and Business via ProQuest, as well as reliable webpages and create a minimum 4 page proposal to the CEO in which you complete the following
for approval of a performance management system for the new position, Claims Supervisor: Description of the categories to be measured. Description of ratings to be
used. Example of performance evaluation form. Explanation for each of your recommendations. Remember that this is a proposal. Make sure to format your paper properly
for your proposal. A proposal is a persuasive document, so make sure to use proper language and tone. Remember, you are the HR Manager and you are writing to the CEO
so use a tone in your proposal that is specific to your audience (the CEO). Include an APA formatted reference page with at least 2 credible sources.Make sure to
include APA in-text citations for any information used from outside sources.

Discuss the ethical implications of a leader”s role

Discuss the ethical implications of a leader’s role in the socialization of new hires into the preexisting culture of an organization. What responsibility does a company have to inform newly hired persons that it wants to shape their values, perceptions, and behavior to conform to the organization’s culture? What impact does socialization have on both individual and organizational effectiveness?

What would you recommend to Pat, taking into account the above, and any other important considerations not mentioned for this business?

You are a business consultant. A new client, Pat, recently received a bachelor’s degree in nutrition sciences with a business minor. He has plans for a new business in
which he will provide home-delivered food and formula for infants and young children. Pat initially contacted you for help in writing his business plan. You have just
received the following from Pat: I got the idea for this business while studying at CU. In my nutrition studies at CU, I have been amazed to learn how many babies
don’t get the food that they should, even in today’s world. There seem to be many reasons for this. The top reasons seem to be simple lack of nutritional knowledge of
the parents, laziness of the parents, and the parents being too busy to buy and prepare proper food for their young children in addition to preparing food for the
older members of the household. In addition, I am the youngest of four children; my three older sisters have each had at least one child in the last 5 years, and I
have seen them, all good intentioned, simply get overwhelmed with all that there is to do. Two of them work full time. One of my sisters is a nurse, and said that she
sees lots of parents of young kids who would “do anything” to be able to more easily make sure their kids get a good balance of really nutritious food. So here is the
idea that I alluded to on the phone: My business will work with the parent(s), the child’s doctor, and a nutritionist to plan out a child’s food requirements. Then, we
will prepare all the food needed by the child. We will deliver this at regular intervals, in most cases every 2 or 3 days, but always often enough that the food is
always fresh when consumed. We will be able to handle special dietary needs (such as allergies or other food intolerance) and preferences (such as vegetarian diets and
religious-based restrictions). My company will deliver the food in “heat and eat” containers that are reused. The client does not even need to wash the containers; we
will wash them all in special high-temperature equipment regardless of whether or not it appears that the client has already washed them. Because you are an
established consultant and know about business, what are your thoughts on how I should set up this business? For example, what are my options for different types of
entities and their pros and cons? Like, do I need to incorporate it? Is there anything big that I haven’t thought of? I know that we have talked about some of these in
our prior meetings, but here are some other thoughts and ideas that I have: I want to be in charge of running the business, but I know that others will have more
expertise in certain areas. My sister (the one who is a nurse) is going to be involved in the business, but she can be a little pushy and bossy. My parents are putting
up about $100,000 to help me get the business going. I don’t want to have to mess with paperwork of the business itself because there will be enough of that with the
clients. I plan to run this out of my home, at least at the beginning. Also, I will be using my own vehicle for deliveries, at least at the beginning. I plan to have
different programs for nursing moms vs. those who are not nursing. I plan to include healthy herbal supplements as part of the programs. I realize that as the business
grows, I might have to put a more formal management structure in place. I know this is an issue for later, but I am thinking that if it is successful, I would like to
look into franchising it. After reviewing both this scenario and the Resources for this week, respond to the following: In a 1- to 2-page paper, outline your response
to Pat. What would you recommend to Pat, taking into account the above, and any other important considerations not mentioned for this business? Your written
assignments must follow APA guidelines. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as
appropriate.

Can you ever test or validate your performance management system “completely?” Should you even try?

Can you ever test or validate your performance management system “completely?” Should you even try? In the software development business, words like “test,” “verify”
and “validate” do have specific, different meanings, depending upon the context in which they are used. Let’s explore these, in the context of what it might mean to
“completely” “prove” that an organization’s information systems performance measurement and management plans, programs and procedures, tools and techniques, really do
work correctly and effectively. First, look up those concepts (test, verify, validate, prove), in the literature on systems development, test, acceptance, verification
and validation (in other words, do not just use a dictionary!). You may also need to go beyond what’s presented in the textbook, to understand the overall process of
performance measurement and management. Let these inquiries help you frame up and present your arguments with respect to this topic.
