There are several types of measures and methods for assessing performance: job
results/outcomes, essay methods, ranking, forced distribution, behavioral checklists,
behavioral anchored rating scales (BARS), and management by objectives (MBO). Prior to
beginning this assignment, read Chapters 4 and 5 of the course text to learn about key
considerations in choosing one type of measurement procedure over another. For this
assignment, you will be assessing comparative and absolute performance measurement
systems to be considered for implementation.PART I: Comparative Performance
Measurement SystemAs the human resources manager of an HR team of 30 for a mid-sized
construction company, you decide to implement a comparative performance measurement
system to measure performance in your departmentAssess the advantages and
disadvantages of implementing a comparative performance measurement system.Explain
three to five kinds of comparative performance measurement systems that are available for
you to consider.Choose one approach, and explain how you would implement it in your
department.Explain why your selection was the best choice among the variety of
comparative performance measurement systems.PART II: Absolute Performance
Measurement SystemAt the end of the year, a company-wide initiative calls for a revision of
the performance measurement systems. Every manager including you, will be required to
develop an absolute performance measurement system. The process is complicated by the
fact that many of your direct reports are remote employees who interact via email and
phone rather than in person.Assess the advantages and disadvantages of implementing an
absolute performance measurement system.Explain three to five kinds of absolute
performance measurement systems.Choose one approach, and explain how you would
implement an absolute performance measurement system in your department next year,
recognizing that you have limited time to devote to your department as you will be
supporting other departments for the implementation in their areas.Explain what you will
consider in choosing an absolute performance measurement system.PART III:
ConclusionNow you must decide which performance measurement system will work best
for your department.Compare and contrast the two performance measurement
systems.Choose one performance measurement system that you feel will best work for your
department.Provide a rationale for your decision.Support your statements with scholarly
and/or credible sources.The Case Scenario: Implementing Performance Measurement
