Case Study: Southwood School-Performance Management
1. Briefly summarize the current performance management system of DfES implemented in Southwood School. Referring to Figure 8.1 in Noe et al. (2023: 332) may help better describe the system collectively exhaustively.
2. Evaluate the new system grounded on an HR manager's review of the DfES Performance Management Process (see Table 1). Please provide it with logical rationales.
3. Based on your understanding of the performance management process and employee appraisal tools/methods, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using the Preparing for the Performance Review document (Work tool #1)? In describing the answers, you can also refer to an example of the completed review documents (Work Tool #2) and the related job description of the position (Work Tool #3).
4. Are there any other areas you think should be added to the document (i.e., Work tool #1)?
