BLOG 3 : Human Resource Performance Management Systems




In one organization, even the employees had attended the training to develop themselves with knowledge, skills and ability, but how we know that the employee is competent or not? Can we measure the desire and expected performance of the employees and identify the performance of the employees? Therefore, that is why the reason of performance management system is exists to help an organization to measure the performance of the employees.

            According to Skrivastava (2005), performance is a behaviour or action that taken by one’s to perform or respond to specific problem so the problem can be solved. In the other hand, performance management is a systematic process of measuring the employees in an organization and develops certain employees in order to achieve the goals of the organization (Johnson, 2009). The last one is performance management system which also measures the employees’ performance by using the technology such as system in computer.

            In my opinion, performance management is very important because the employees that have low performance will affect the productivity of the organization. If the employee is not competent enough, he or she should be send to the training and develop his or her skill, knowledge and ability. The performance management system can helps an organization a lot because can easily identify the performance of employees in more accurate statistical information.

            Performance management has five stages. The five stages are plan, monitor, develop, review, and reward. In the first stage, organization has to plan the goal and the result that expected from the employees. The second stage is monitoring the performance of the employee by giving feedback to the employee in two way communication. The next stage is reviewing the overall performance of the employees in rate the employees. At last, employees that has good performance should be rewarded such as monetary, non-monetary or recognition.

            In my opinion, I think this system is a key factor used in determining whether an organization can manage its human resources and talent effectively. This system provides information on who should be trained and in what area, which employees should be rewarded and what type of skills are lacking at the organization or unit level.
