As a human resources manager, you realize that performance management must be considered even before a person becomes an employee of the organization. One of your goals is to reduce employee turnover through the revision of the personnel assessments used during the recruitment and hiring process.

The first opportunity to implement the new personnel assessments will be next month when you begin interviewing for three open positions in the training department.

In your Discussion, address the following:

  1. What types of personnel assessments are you familiar with? Do you prefer one type of assessment over the other?
  2. Which assessments would you use for the training position candidates and why do you believe these are the most appropriate?
  3. How would you monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the use of each assessment?
  4. How will you evaluate this data in relation to the overall performance of the organization? If you found flaws in the data, how would you correct or report them?

Week 2 Discussion

Questions 1: Consider post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s not just something a service member endures. Many people have some form of PTSD relating to trauma in their lives. So, be inclusive in your response by thinking of all employees, as well as returning service members. Remember that people are more willing to tell you they have a physical disability but may be reluctant to tell you they have a mental disability.

  • Develop an outline to educate your management team to recognize returning service members who may be showing signs of PTSD.
  • Identify the steps that could be taken to help all employees, including the service members transitioning back into the workforce

Question 2: Go to the Newsroom on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) website and review cases regarding diversity. In the search box under Browse through Press Releases from EEOC, type “diversity” and review three of the results from your search.

  • Propose three ways that an organization can increase employee diversity.
    • Take a position on the importance of diversity and explain how your proposed methods for increasing diversity support your position.
