Week 6

We are well on the way to that partnership goal, but we are certainly not there yet. A HPT model can successfully meet management’s ongoing needs. Answer the following questions:

·       Can HPT ever be management’s partner on an ongoing basis?

·       Can HPT be the partner that management cannot do without, management’s must-have partner, the go-to partner to continuously identify or help solve issues of work performance as they emerge?

·       Can HPT become a partner that is not eliminated or severely reduced in numbers and influence in hard economic times?

·       Is it not the hard times when work performance improvement is even more needed by management?

·       Should HPT be part of the solution, rather than being perceived as part of the problem or something to be ignored?
