...that is much better than it was previously and this paper will explore the current performance management system and compare it to the old one and also make recommendations as to what Sprint can do to improve their current system. Sprint is a telecommunications company that specializes in mobile devices and mobile service. They currently hold fourth place in the mobile provider market being overtaken by T-mobile in 2015 according to a report on RCwireless.com with Verizon and AT&T maintaining a firm grip at the top of the market share. "The report found that "no major shifts in market share among the major four carriers" between now and 2020" (Kinney, S. (2015). One of Sprint's bigger problems was their employee turnover rate; they were losing employees faster than they were getting new ones. This would be a problem for any company, but especially for a company that is in the cutthroat business of cell phones and service. Trying to grow and take more of the market when you can't keep the trained employees created a problem for Sprint and they knew they needed to address this. "In July 2002, Towers Perrin released a study of HR professionals, in which 75 percent of respondents said retention of high performers is their number 1 people-related issue" Taylor, C, 2016). A strong performance management system will help minimize turnover of desirable employees among other things. For this paper, I wrote two previous papers; the first one dealt with The mission and strategy...

...Over the course of the my college career in english composition classes I have had to write a large amount of papers and stories. Over the time spent in these classes I have been given the information to better my writing style and grammar. Although my writing first began developing in high school it is in college where the true test of the knowledge gained and the knowledge that was previously know is tested to the standards of the real world and what is expected of you from you future carrier. I believe that Comp at a college has given me a greater grasp on what I need to work on and develop on in my writing. In highschool most of the writing done was about books that were read. At that time they were mostly summaries or opinions about said books but during senior year the development of critical writing was implemented into my curriculum. This is where my journey of writing began and where my collection of knowledge of most writing techniques stems from. This is the class that prepared me for my writing at a college level....

...perennial issue, and one that will garner much attention. For several decades, researchers have documented the gap between high school and college expectations, noting that even students who complete a college preparatory curriculum in high school are often poorly prepared for college. This lack of alignment contributes to high postsecondary remediation rates and hinders college completion. Over the years, state policymakers and education leaders have responded with a variety of wide-ranging and costly efforts, including the development of state-level content standards and assessments. However, these standards vary widely among states and generally lack sufficient rigor to assure readiness for credit bearing courses in college. It is encouraging that states have adopted the English Language Arts and Mathematics standards released in mid-2010. The hard work lies ahead, however, as states move from adoption of standards to their full implementation, including development of curriculum and assessments. I will evaluate 10 sources that will help define the important strategies and foster success for this important initiative...
