Strayer University HRM560, Assignment 2

The company implemented procedures and policies that are embedded in business practice management. Sears have developed a combination of strategic management and operations planning in communicating the company's vision and mission statement to the employees. Over the years, Sears have managed employees and stakeholders with a clear view of the company's values, purposes, and goals. This organization utilizes a competitive strategy approach to keep employees engaged in the company's business model (Sears Corporate, 2017).

The change from annual reviews to Performance Enablement came about in 2013. Sears decided to appraise employees by their performance instead of yearly evaluations. The management team realized that employees benefited more from tools that enabled them to perform in the scope the business intended them in (Sears Corporate, 2017). This method proved to be interactive as it offers feedback to leadership on employee’s performance and an action plan for remediation or appraisal (Guest Contributor, 2015). My recommendation will include changing the existing policy to the 360 Employee Performance Programs as they provide continuous feedback and offers encouragement and motivation from senior leaders.
