Performance Management and Strategy

Chapter 3 discusses various aspects of strategic planning. As noted in the textbook, it is important to link performance management to strategy. For this discussion board, please consider the scenario below.

Scenario

You are the newly hired HR Director for a large healthcare organization, which serves elderly individuals. Over 1,000 healthcare employees (e.g., physicians, nurses, etc.) are employed by your company. You have been told, by the leaders of your organization, that the performance management system used by the company is not fully aligned with the organization’s strategic plan.

For this discussion board post, please address the following:

• Explain why the job descriptions for all workers must be in alignment with the organization’s mission, goals, and strategies.
• Address how you can effectively communicate the strategic plan to all organizational employees.
• Why does the organization’s compensation strategy need to be aligned with the company’s strategic plan? 

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references. Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines. 

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion.

You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question. These peer replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
