Proposal Plan Part II

Morrissey Enterprises is a technology services company with offices in different parts of the country.  The organization has over 500 employees and provides various technology services such as application development, network services, project management and other Information Technology (IT) related services.  The objectives of the company are to provide our clients with the best resources and technology solutions to solve their technology related problems.  

As Morrissey continues to grow it is essential that we have a roadmap or plan.  The plan will be an all-inclusive one that will be presented to the board of directors and will address several employee related components.  Those components are staffing, performance appraisal, training and development, total rewards and organizational behavior and processes.  The second segment of the plan will discuss the performance appraisal method, training and development as well as career and succession planning.  

Performance Appraisal Method

        It is important that Morrissey have a clearly defined and implemented performance appraisal method for all employees.  In researching various methods we have chosen the one that best fits an organization of our size and our business goals this is the Results-Based System.  In the Results-Based System the subordinate and manager collectively agree on goals for the next appraisal period (Mondy, 2008).  In this system, one goal may be to increase production by 10 percent.  During the evaluation there will be focus on how successful the employee as at achieving the 10 percent increase in production.  The Results-Based System will allow Morrissey to set goals for employees based on the position they are in and tie them to the corporate goals and objectives for growth annually.  This method will allow us to measure and align goals and objectives across the board corporately in every business area including performance.

Training & Development Plan

Training and development (T&D) is part of a continuous effort intended to progress organizational performance and employee capability. Training provides employees with the skills and understanding required for their current positions.  Conversely, development entails a more long term focus on learning which extends past the current position held. Development prepares employees to maintain velocity with the company as it grows and changes. Training and development actions will potentially align our company’s employees with our business strategies. Some possible strategic benefits of Training and Development consist of higher retention, employee contentment, enhanced morale, decrease in turnover, better hiring, a improved bottom line, and the fact that content employees generate satisfied consumers (How to Develop the Best Training Initiatives, 2005).
