Question
OL 600 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
For your final project, you will analyze the WeaveTech: High Performance Change case study in order to develop a proposal. You will have to consider the
important aspects of the company within the case study when formulating the proposal. When developing your proposal, make sure that all elements align with
the mission, vision, and goals of the organization. Be sure to support your proposal with appropriate scholarly sources.
For Milestone Two, you will develop a draft of a performance management system and total rewards plan for WeaveTech. You must consider individual employee
and organizational needs as well as federal laws and regulations in the development of your performance management plan. In addition to the performance
management plan, you will devise a total rewards system and compensation and benefit strategies that are appropriate for the organization. At this point, you
should be considering the implementation of self-service technologies at WeaveTech and preparing a message to stakeholders on issues regarding self-service
technologies as they relate to benefit programs.
The resources that support this milestone include the WeaveTech Case Study, Why Incentive Plans Cannot Work Coursepack article, and the text.
Your submission should contain all of the elements for Section II of your final product, including all of those listed below. Your instructor will grade your
submission using the rubric below and will provide feedback to be applied to the final project.
Begin by using the following guiding questions for your analysis. Then, once your analysis has been completed, draft a performance management system and
total rewards plan that thoroughly covers each of the critical elements listed in A through F below the guiding questions.
