Homework
Develop each answer to the fullest extent possible, discussing the nuances of each topic and presenting your arguments logically.
Each answer should be robust and developed in-depth.
You are expected to demonstrate critical thinking skills as well as an understanding of the issues identified. Some questions may also require personal reflection and practical application.
Question I:
Training and development are not always mutually exclusive, though they do have a different focus. Though training programs tend to be focused on improving employee performance in a current job, they may also be preparing employees for future homeworks/jobs. In your own words, describe and provide at least one example of each of the following:
o The difference between employee development and training programs;
o How training programs can be used to support employee development;
o How training and development support career planning.
Question II:
o Describe how a performance management system is different from an annual performance appraisal. What are some of the negative impacts of poorly conducted performance appraisals? Why is it important to balance positive and constructive feedback? Support your position with specific examples and evidence.
o Discuss your personal experience with performance evaluations. How were your performance goals established? Was it limited to an annual appraisal or was there ongoing feedback? How did these factors influence your performance and motivation?
Question III:
o First, define and then discuss the term "security" with respect to today's workplace.
Then, discuss in detail at least two actions an employer can take to minimize the risk of bullying and at least two actions to reduce workplace violence.
