...As you requested, I have finished my evaluation of Kyle Houston, who works as management consultants in Anders. I suggest that you have a second thought about promoting Kyle as the team leader in Dallas. My opinion is based on the observation of his performance during the three months' strategic planning with a division of RPG Financial Services. The ratings and evaluations collected from 15 team members, with whom Kyle worked during the last three months, support my observation. The ratings in the evaluation cover three aspects in Kyle’s performance in team works: contributing, listening, and the facilitating group problem solving. Kyle’s ability in team working is evaluated fairly according to these aspects. Kyle has an open characteristic, which attributes to his high rating in contributing part of the evaluations with four of the rating score at three points.. Kyle is very enthusiastic and passion in his work. Many of the evaluations point out that Kyle is willing to provide his own opinions and never gets lazy on his jobs. In short, he is the most active, even aggressive member in the team. However, from my observation, he puts quantity before quality of his ideas. From the very beginning to the end of a meeting, he would raise his hand to express his own perspective every three minutes. He is very initiative and has a lot of ideas, but he expresses them so soon that some of the ideas seem to lack considerations. This behavior would lead to greater proportion of low quality...

...company. • Teamwork: it relates to how the employee works in teams and his level of compatibility with other team members in working toward one goal of the organization. • Employee loyalty: it relates to how committed the employee is to the success of the company and whether he plans to remain with the company and keep working with utmost dedication. All three sets of criteria are very important while evaluating an employee. However, comparing the relative value of the three, the most important one is the loyalty of the employee because if the employee is not dedicated towards the company, then his productivity will decrease and he would not show interest in teamwork. There are various techniques which are used for evaluating the performance of employees: 1. Essay appraisal method Here, the evaluator puts in writing a short essay offering estimation of the potencies, flaws and vigor of the subject. In order for this technique to be carried out without prejudice, it is essential that the evaluator is aware of the...

...Performance Evaluations Abstract An engineer at a manufacturing plant received a poor review and reacted even more poorly to the results. He is now to be evaluated again but the current evaluation methods seem inadequate. There are advantages and disadvantages to using any performance evaluation method but a mix of both objective measurements including productivity and timeliness and soft skills provide a better solution to view an employee’s whole performance. The paper reviews some of these methods and makes suggestion at improving the evaluation methods currently used. Performance Evaluations An engineer at a manufacturing plant received a poor review and reacted even more poorly to the results. He is now to be evaluated again but the current evaluation methods seem inadequate. The plant manager has reviewed and learned about the 360-degree evaluation method and wonders if it might be a better solution than the current method. There are other evaluation methods that should be considered and revised before evaluating any employee. A combination of methods will probably work best. The engineer is currently evaluated based on friendliness, neatness of workspace and attitude. The first point of concern is that attitude and friendliness are the same thing or at least very closely related. Another concern is that neatness of workspace is not a quantifiable objective; it cannot be easily measured. The engineer frequently has stacks of paper and a cluttered...

...Citibank Performance Evaluation Case Assignment – 7 pts. a. If you think that James’ customers are actually more or less satisfied than the level of satisfaction indicated by the scores on the Customer Satisfaction Score metric. Briefly discuss how you feel about this and why you feel as you do. From the exhibit, we can’t see the specific standards to measure customers’ satisfaction. Thus we can’t identify what part of service performed not well. On the other hand, customers rated not only their branch, but also other Citibank services such as ATM’s that were out of the control of branch managers. At this condition, we need to look for other performance items related with customer service to evaluate the real performance. Look at those items “Customer Interaction/Focus”, “Business Ethics/Integrity”, and “Community Involvement” and “Employee Satisfaction”. As we can see, all these items are more or less related to the customers’ satisfaction. All the items are rated a higher score than the customers’ satisfaction. Through all the year, all the items are rated above par expect the customer interaction in the third quarter, which is on the par. In all, I think the real customers’ satisfaction would be better than the score showed in the report. b. Now assume that it is 2015 and that Citibank has been using the Performance Scorecard as described in the case for the past 18 years. You are asked how you would change the system...

A study of 275 professional portfolio managers reported that the ability to execute strategy was more important than the quality of the strategy itself (“Measures That Matter,” Ernst & Young, Boston, 1998) (“M Th t M tt ” E t Y B t In the early 1980s, a survey of management consultants reported that less than 10 percent of effectively formulated strategies were implemented successfully (Walter Kiechel, “Corporate Strategists Under Fire,” Fortune, Dec. 27, 1982). A 1999 Fortune article, in a cover story of prominent CEO failures, concluded that the emphasis placed on strategy and vision created a mistaken belief that the right strategy was all that was needed to succeed The authors concluded that “…in succeed. in the majority of cases—we estimate 70 percent—the real problem isn’t [bad strategy]…it’s bad execution.” (R.

...Performance Evaluation and Feedback System (PEFS) Objective: Introduce the difference of PEFS between Japan and the west Goal: Understand the reason and result of adoption of different PEFS Expected result: Able to work in a company with the PEFS which is suitable for them. Japan: Staff performance is evaluated as a whole, based on company profit, department contribution. Feedback and future direction is provided to all staff in company / department through group meeting (e.g., morning assembly). The reason of using this PEFS is that Japanese pays attention to relationship, and their career goal is group/company success. When compensation is based on individual performance, staff becomes focus on individual success. This hampers team working and company success. As a result, staff works under strain of the working environment (self-control), strives to maintain good relationship with others (focus on harmony), follows custom and finds a middle way to solve any problems (avoid conflict). As it is difficult for staff to express his own opinion in working environment, building relationship becomes more important for personal success. This creates the “after work drinking” culture. The West: Staff performance is evaluated as a whole and individual basis, based on company profit, department contribution, and individual performance. Feedback is provided to individual. One on one meeting is held to discuss career goal and development plan. The reason of using this PEFS...

Globalization and increasingly stringent antidiscrimination legislation necessitates the need for an effective performance appraisal system. “(Some) 90 percent of performance appraisal processes are inadequate.” – Salary.com survey As demonstrated in the important California Supreme Court case of Guz vs. Bechtel National Inc., a laid off employee with lengthy service may offer in evidence a poor performance evaluation record against an employer in an attempt to prove age bias. Although Guz was unsuccessful with the age bias claim, the court opined that plaintiffs with long service may prevail if there is sufficient evidence that the employer’s proffered reasons for layoffs are pretextual. The implied warning by the court to employers is that pretextual use of performance evaluations may paradoxically become evidence against them to prove illegal retaliation or discriminatory intent.

...Topic: Analyzing Performance Evaluations involves evaluating three characteristics: a Bank’s liquidity, profitability and efficiency. A short-term creditor, such as a bank, is primarily interested in liquidity---the ability of the borrower to pay obligations when they come due. The liquidity of the borrower is extremely important in evaluating the safety of a loan. A long-term creditor, such as a bondholder, looks to profitability and solvency measures that indicate the Bank’s ability to survive over a long period of time. Long-term creditors consider such measures as the amount of debt in the Bank’s capital structure and its ability to meet interest payments. Similarly, stockholders look at the profitability and solvency of the Bank. They want to assess the likelihood of dividends and the growth potential of the stock. Performance managers review and analyze the firm’s Performance Evaluations periodically, both to uncover developing problems and to assess the firm’s progress toward achieving its goal. These actions are aimed at preserving and creating value for the firm’s owner. Performance ratios enable Performance managers to monitors the pulse of the firm and its progress towards its strategic goals. Although Performance Evaluations and Performance ratios rely on accrual concepts, they can provide useful insights into important aspects of risk and return that affect share price, which management is attempting to maximize. Performance Evaluation analysis is a process...

...Performance evaluation methods in commercial banks and associated risks for managing assets and liabilities 97 Performance evaluation methods in commercial banks and associated risks for managing assets and liabilities University Reader PhD. Claudiu CICEA, Academy of Economic Studies Bucharest, Romania email : claudiu.cicea@man.ase.ro University Professor PhD. Daniela HINCU, Academy of Economic Studies Bucharest, Romania email : daniela.hincu@man.ase.ro Abstract Commercial banks represent the core of the credit for any national economy. In turn, the credit is the engine that put in motion the financial flows that determine growth and economic development of a nation. As a result, any efficiency in the activities of commercial banks has special implications on the entire economy. That is why we consider very useful to present an analysis of possibilities for evaluating the performance in the commercial banks. The management of every commercial bank must establish a system for assessing investment performance which suits its circumstances and needs and this evaluation must be done at consecutive intervals to ensure the achievement of the Bank's investment objectives of hand; and to know the general direction of the behavior of investment activity in the past and therefore predictable as it in the future on the other hand. The main objective for this paper is to analyze some quantitative methods used in assessing the performance of investment activity in commercial banks (such...
