InterClean Corp. Inc. - Career Development Plan Part III: Performance and Career Management



Onwards, a report defining the plan of career management for new employees of InterClean is presented.  It presents in detail how the company provides feedback to employees and the opportunities for their development. Examples of how this help the employees reach a higher level of performance of their duties through the use of supporting, coaching and mentoring activities will be provided.  Also, this paper presents promotional models and professional development opportunities available to them to create and strengthen both, personal and professional skills.  There will be an explanation of the flexible options for our employees with two careers. In addition, a definition of the methods for adaptation to differences between personalities, and ways of doing business staffing is presented. A description of the benefits and costs related to performance and career management system expected are detailed. 
Companies need employees with high performance to achieve goals. Many managers make the mistake of hiring employees and wait until the time of evaluation that can be up to one year, to provide feedback about their performance. Probably, these employees are making a mistake that can be corrected in time. The continuous feedback or coaching is an effective method used to achieve this high performance in a rapid manner.  To provide feedback a trust relationship between manager and employee must be created. The employees will feel good and grateful when feedback of their duties and responsibilities are provided. It sees that the manager cares about him. When the meeting begins, managers must use words and gestures with a helpful approach. When providing feedback on the area to improve, an agreement with the employee must be establish and the supervisor needs to explain the area to be resolved and the impact on the operation and how objectives are affected and why.  Often, employees do not understand the goals of the company and how each one contributes to achieve them nor, know their individual goals. The manager can provide examples and explain the expectations of the position.
During this process the employee will have questions that must be answered clearly and managers are likely to present ideas on how to solve the situation. The employees must be given the opportunity to express their ideas and if these ideas are aligned with the expectations of the manager and the tasks, then the manager may give the employee the opportunity to use them. After this, the manager must ensure that the employee undertakes to achieve and get better results.  In most cases the positive feedback ensures that the employee agrees with the company so that it can continue to generate their income and growing. With this, employees are also positively affected, as would be expected if the company grows so they do. The most important points of this effective feedback are to detect the failure and talk to the employee immediately, talking about the situation should be clear and specific, and using an effective approach in terms of words and tone.
Internal promotion is one of InterClean management practices and human resource development of the careers of their employees. The company believes that when there is promoting, the influence on job satisfaction can be positive, negative or neutral, whereas when there is not, the effect is negative or zero. The company improves economic efficiency through the promotion, because it provides qualified candidates for vacant positions (Núñez-Cacho, 2012). The key parameters that are considered for the promotion of the employees are:
·         Years of service
·         Skills
·         Abilities
InterClean uses the following types of development:
·         Economic incentives
·         Increases category
·         Assign special projects bigger budget, more responsibility or uniqueness
The company offer to the employees’ educational opportunities, vocational and skills development, and attractive salaries and benefits tailored to the region where we develop our projects. To do this, they provide training workshops for the employees on a monthly basis and/or at the initial recruitment stage. The topics of the workshops read as follows:
·         Emotional and Multiple Intelligences
·         Sympathy and Empathy from Emotional Intelligence
·         Magnetic Positivism
·         Winning Attitude and Mind
·         Team Development Working and Driving
·         Conflict Resolution, a choice of peace
·         Learning to Motivate
·         Education Values 
·         Learning and Development of Emotional Intelligence
·         Entrepreneurial Thinking "At the gates of the future"
·         Customer Service and Satisfaction 
The workshops last from 1 hour to one hour and thirty minutes, depending on the arrangement and participation in the topics. InterClean hire consultants in the areas of management, administration and psychology to develop and present workshops on the above topics.  For employees with dual career, they offer flexible hours and a maximum of ten (10) hours of remote work, subject to the established evaluation criteria and policies of the Human Resources Department.  The company is in an economic and business environment characterized by constant change and uncertainty. To cope with this situation companies has revealed much more flexible, variable costs and focus on core competencies (Cascio, 2005). All this implies a profound remodeling of the business processes of the company and a redefinition of the use of technology and infrastructure.  Policy flexibility makes the company a pole of attraction and retention of talent improves morale, commitment and loyalty of the workforce, and increases the effectiveness and productivity.  InterClean’s flexibility policies responds to the individual needs of professionals working in the company. This is mainly to show sensitivity to the situation of each individual and provide tools to align those needs with our business requirements.
InterClean prides itself on diversity within the workplace. Diversity develops relationships built on creativity, unique skills, and talents. Although organizational diversity can be challenging, a diverse workforce supplies a greater variety of solutions for problems in service, sourcing, and allocation of resources.  Understanding how differences can affect diversity, InterClean recognizes that diversity can significantly affect team performance.  In approaching the concept of team diversity, management will strive to:
·         Actively contribute to the team and recognize each member’s contributions
·         Judged fairly, recognize, and reward each member for good performance.
·         Assist in developing each member’s abilities
·         Encourage each member to treat each other professionally and respectfully by all members of the team.
·         Value each member as a unique individual
Diversity is recognized and manages the similarities and differences that exist among people in the organization. The differences in diversity need to be addressed in the workplace. Each employee had eight hours of diversity training in their orientation seminar. The performance evaluation process does not discriminate against anyone at InternClean due to race, religion, color, age, sex, or disabling conditions. Employees should be able to share their views, values, and beliefs.  This report would work because it will focus on the things that are important to making InterClean as profitable as it can be. We will concentrate on the company total need and benefits. Wasteful and inefficient procedures are identified and eliminated when cost cannot be justified. We could email and make phone calls instead of printing advertising. The types of cost would be for training and products.
Performance appraisal systems are generally regarded as a necessary part of the organization’s management system. According to an article written by Nickols (2012), some of the benefits include:
1.    The system provides employees with an opportunity to receive feedback regarding their performance.
2.    The system provides an opportunity for performance related discussions that include the following aims: setting work objectives for the employee, aligning individual and organizational goals, identifying training and development needs, and discussing career progression opportunities.
3.    The system standardizes performance appraisals and makes them objective by providing uniform processes and criteria.
4.    The system affords the corporation legal protection against employee lawsuits for discrimination and wrongful termination.
The costs involved in this process are largely linked to the time that managers and supervisors should take for the following:
·         preparing appraisals
·         setting goals and objectives
·         conducting interim and annual performance reviews
·         reviewing at higher levels appraisals written at lower levels
·         designing, printing, copying, filing, and distributing appraisal forms
·         designing and communicating the appraisal process
·         training supervisors, managers, and executives in the appraisal process
In conclusion, performance management serves as an important tool for achieving the goals of the organization by implementing competitive human resource management strategies. Helps align and integrate business goals and therefore help in conducting all activities from the lower level to a single target.
