Part 1 – M4.2 Discuss: When the worst happens…

Sometimes a part of performance management involves dealing with uncomfortable situations. In this discussion, you will explore this facet of talent management.

Read the following scenario:

While an employee, Fred, is using his office to change clothes to participate in the company-sponsored yoga class, he notices that the webcam on his company computer is active, though he is certain he had not turned it on. Fred immediately alerts Security. Upon further investigation, IT finds that an employee, Ginger, has been tapping into multiple webcams across the organization. Gingers’s supervisor is requesting you assist with the conversation regarding this situation.

Part I: Create a Script of the Conversation

As Ginger’s mentor, you have been asked to begin the conversation and learn her side of the story. For this assignment, create a script of the conversation you would have with both Ginger and Ginger’s supervisor. Be sure to consider confidentiality, company policy, procedures, etc. Recall the video (Links to an external site.) in Module 2, and how the TM assisted in that situation. Post the script to this discussion board.

Part 2 – M4.3 Create Video and Discuss: Performance Management Tools

As companies try to become streamlined and effective in their hiring, better at evaluating and increasing the performance of employees, many are turning to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist with these processes. Human interaction and AI do not have to be adversaries. In this video, the speaker discusses how humans and AI can work together to create a better business.

Different fields gauge performance differently and measure performance differently. Research the performance management tools/systems that are commonly used in your discipline. Choose a tool to recommend to your organization. Using Zoom, record a video highlighting the pros of adoption of the tool as well as a candid evaluation of the cons. Briefly describe the tool’s purpose and how it works. Your video should be a persuasive pitch for the company to adopt the tool, so end on a high note.

Part I: Make a Recommendation – Provide document I will make video

Keeping in mind that different fields gauge performance differently and measure performance differently, research the performance management tools/systems that are commonly used in your discipline. Choose a tool to recommend to your organization. Record a video highlighting the pros of adoption of the tool, as well as a candid evaluation of the cons. Briefly describe the tool’s purpose and how it works. Your video should be a persuasive pitch for the company to adopt the tool, so end on a high note.

Post your video to the discussion board along with a transcript.
