    2. BCG matrix

    o What is BCG matrix?

    BCG matrix use two factors to evaluate organizations set of

    businesses: the growth of a particular market and theorganizations share of that market. The matrix suggests thatfast growing markets in which an organization has thehighest market share are more attractive businessopportunities than slow growing markets in which andorganization has small market share. Dividing market growthand market share in to two categories (low and high) createdthe simple matrix shown below:

    Dogs are business that have very small share of a market that is notexpected to grow. So these businesses dont hold much economicpromise.

    Question marks are business that has only small share of quicklygrowing market and the future performance of these businesses areuncertain. And it generates low profits.

    Stars are businesses that have largest share of a rapidly growingmarket. Cash cows should be invested in stars to ensure their

    preeminent position. Cash cows are business that have large share of market that is not

    expected to grow substantially. These types of business generate highprofits.

    1. Operational Level

    Transaction Processing Systems (TPS)

    As the name implies, Transaction Processing Systems ("TPS") are designedto process routine transactions efficiently and accurately. A business will have

    several (sometimes many) TPS; for example:

    o Billing systems to send invoices tocustomers(Ac)

    o Order tracking, order processing (SM)o Machine control, plant scheduling,

    material movement control(M)o Security trading, cash management(F)o Systems to calculate the weekly and

    monthly payroll and tax payments(Ac)o Compensation trading and

    development, employee record keeping (HR)o Production and purchasing systems to

    calculate raw material requirementso Stock control systems to process all

    movements into, within and out of the business

    2. Knowledge Level System

    Knowledge Management Systems

    Knowledge Management Systems ("KMS") exist to help businesses createand share information. These are typically used in a business whereemployees create new knowledge and expertise - which can then be sharedby other people in the organization to create further commercial opportunities.Good examples include firms of lawyers, accountants and managementconsultants.

    KMS are built around systems which allow efficient categorization anddistribution of knowledge. For example, the knowledge itself might becontained in word processing documents, spreadsheets, PowerPointpresentations. Internet pages or whatever to share the knowledge, a KMSwould use group collaboration systems such as an intranet.

    3. Management Level System

    Management Information Systems

    A management information system ("MIS") is mainly concerned with internalsources of information. MIS usually take data from the transaction processingsystems (see below) and summarize it into a series of management reports.

    o Sales management (SM)o Inventory control (M)o Annual budget (F)o Capital investment analysis (Ac)o Relocation analysis (HR)

    Decision-Support Systems

    Decision-support systems ("DSS") are specifically designed to helpmanagement make decisions in situations where there is uncertainty aboutthe possible outcomes of those decisions. DSS comprise tools andtechniques to help gather relevant information and analyses the options andalternatives. DSS often involves use of complex spreadsheet and databasesto create "what-if" models.

    o Sales region analysiso Production schedulingo Cost analysiso Pricing/profitability analysiso Control cost analysis

    4. Strategic Level

    Executive Support Systems

    An Executive Support System ("ESS") is designed to help seniormanagement make strategic decisions. It gathers analyses and summarizesthe key internal and external information used in the business.

    A good way to think about an ESS is to imagine the senior management teamin an aircraft cockpit - with the instrument panel showing them the status of allthe key business activities. ESS typically involves lots of data analysis andmodeling tools such as "what-if" analysis to help strategic decision-making.

    Enterprise Resource Planning

    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems attempt to integrate all data andprocesses of an organization into a unified system. A typical ERP system willuse multiple components of computer software and hardware to achieve theintegration. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a unifieddatabase to store data for the various system modules.

    ordered), Inventory receipts (what arrived), and Costing (what thevendor invoiced)

    o The Accounting for all of these tasks, tracking the Revenue, Cost andProfit on a granular level.

    Customer relationship management

    Customer relationship management (CRM) is a customer-centric businessstrategy with the goal of maximizing profitability, revenue, and customersatisfaction. Technologies that support this business purpose include thecapture, storage and analysis of customer, vendor, partner, and internalprocess information. Functions that support this business purpose includeSales, Marketing and Customer Service, Training, Professional Development,Performance Management, Human Resource Development andCompensation. Technology to support CRM initiatives must be integrated aspart of an overall customer-centric strategy. Many CRM initiatives have failedbecause implementation was limited to software installation without alignmentto a customer-centric strategy.

    Analytical CRM analyzes customer data for a variety ofpurposes:

    o Design and execution of targeted marketing campaigns to optimizemarketing effectiveness.

    o Design and execution of specific customer campaigns, includingcustomer acquisition, cross-selling, up-selling, retention

    o Analysis of customer behavior to aid product and service decisionmaking (e.g. pricing, new product development etc.)

    o Management decisions, e.g. financial forecasting and customerprofitability analysis

    o Prediction of the probability of customer defection (churn analysis)

    Supply chain management

    Supply chain management (SCM) is the process of planning, implementing,

    and controlling the operations of the supply chain as efficiently as possible.Supply Chain Management spans all movement and storage of raw materials,work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption.

    How does internet use to Y2K Group

    Y2K Group is going to use E-business. All businesses are using E-businessand E-Commerce in the world. Using Internet will get so many advantages to

    the company.

    Impact of internet on the organizational environments andstrategic planning

    1. Targeting right market segments

    o It is important for advertisers to spend their advertisement dollars ($)wisely.

    o They can achieve this by using appropriate methods of advertising andtargeting the right market segments.

    o Two different types of advertising are entertainment ads and traditionaladvertising.

    o Entertainment ads focus on entertaining a customer whereas traditionaladvertising is more direct and usually positioned between rather thanwithin editorial items.

    o When the entertainment ads work well, they can be quite successful indrawing customers to their site however, it is very easy for this type ofad to flop resulting in no one returning to visit the advertisement siteafter they see it once.

    o Traditional advertising has better readership.o It can also be used well in targeting the right market segments.

    22

  • 7/27/2019 MIT (Managment in Information Technology) Documentation

    23/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    o For instance, the ESPN Sports page would be a good site to place adsby Gatorade and Nike.

    o Sports minded people that might be interested in these products wouldbe likely to access these pages.

    o A good reference for researching this topic further is at Advertising

    Age.

    2. Security

    o One of the main factors holding back businesses' progress on theInternet is the issue of security.

    o Customers do not feel confident sending their credit card numbers overthe Internet.

    o Computer hackers can grab this information off the Internet if it is notencrypted.

    o Netscape and several other companies are working on encryptionmethods.

    o Strong encryption algorithms and public education in the use of theInternet should increase the number of online transactions.

    o After all, getting your credit card number stolen in every daytransactions is easier.

    o In addition, securing private company information and enforcingcopyright issues still need to be resolved before the businesscommunity really takes advantage of Internet transactions.

    o There are, however, currently some methods within Netscape forplacing the information online yet restricting it to only certain peoplesuch as company employees.

    3. Consumer confidence

    o Consumer confidence is essential for conducting business online.o Although related to security, consumer confidence also deals with

    feeling confident about doing business online.o For instance, can consumers believe that a company is legitimate if it is

    on the Internet, or could it be some kind of boiler room operation? Also,companies must be able to substantiate their advertising claims if they

    are published online.o As well as the future of Internet commerce.o After all, if consumer confidence is low, businesses will not succeed.

    4. Speed of network access

    o The speed of network access is a risk for businesses.o If businesses spend a lot of money for fast network

    connections and design their sites with this in mind yet customers havelower speed connections, this may result in fewer consumers

    accessing their site.

    23

  • 7/27/2019 MIT (Managment in Information Technology) Documentation

    24/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    o Fewer consumers accessing their site most likely resultsin lower profits which are in addition to the extra cost of the fasternetwork connection.

    o On the other hand, if the company designed for sloweraccess yet customers have faster access, they could still lose out in

    profits.o Currently some of the options that home users have to

    choose from are traditional modems, ISDN, and Cable Modems.o Traditional modems are cheaper but the current speed is

    a maximum of 28.8 Kbps.o ISDN is faster at 56 Kbps, but more expensive.o Cable modems are faster yet with a speed of 4 Mbps.o However, two-way interaction with a cable modem needs

    some more testing to be sure that it works as well as ISDN..

    TASK # 1.5

    Risk Management

    What is the risk management process?

    The risk management process consists of a series of steps that, when

    undertaken in sequence, enable continual improvement in decision-making.

    1. Communicate and consult

    Communication and consultation aims to identify who should be involved in

    assessment of risk (including identification, analysis and evaluation) and it

    should engage those who will be involved in the treatment, monitoring and

    review of risk.

    As such, communication and consultation will be reflected in each step of the

    process described in this guide.

    As an initial step, there are two main aspects that should be identified in order

    to establish the requirements for the remainder of the process. These are

    communication and consultation aimed at:

    o eliciting risk information

    o Managing stakeholder perceptions for management of risk.

    2. Establish the context

    When considering risk management in Y2K Group, it is important to first

    establish some boundaries within which the risk management process will

    apply.

    The business owner may be only interested in identifying financial risks as

    such the information collected will pertain only to that area of risk.

    26

  • 7/27/2019 MIT (Managment in Information Technology) Documentation

    27/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    Establish the risk management context

    It is important to define the limits, objectives and scope of the activity or issue

    under examination.

    o In conducting a risk analysis for a new project, such as the

    introduction of a new piece of equipment or a new product line, it is

    important to clearly identify the parameters for this activity to ensure

    that all significant risks are identified.

    Establishing the parameters and boundaries of the activity or issue also

    involves the determination of:

    o Timeframe

    o resources required

    o roles and responsibilities

    o additional expertise required

    o internal and external relationships

    o record-keeping requirements

    o Depth of analysis required.

    Develop risk criteria

    Risk criteria allow a business to clearly define unacceptable levels of risk.

    Conversely, risk criteria may include the acceptable level of risk for a specific

    activity or event. In this step the risk criteria may be broadly defined and then

    further refined later in the risk management process.

    It is against these criteria that the Y2K Group owner will evaluate an identified

    risk to determine if it requires treatment or control. Where a risk exists that

    27

  • 7/27/2019 MIT (Managment in Information Technology) Documentation

    28/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    may cause any of the objectives not to be met, it is deemed unacceptable and

    a treatment strategy must be identified.

    3. Identify the risks

    Risk cannot be managed unless it is first identified. Once the context of the

    business has been defined, the next step is to utilize the information to identify

    as many risks as possible.

    The aim of risk identification is to identify possible risks that may affect, either

    negatively or positively, the objectives of the business and the activity under

    analysis. Answering the following questions identifies the risk:

    o What can happen?

    o How can it happen?

    o

    Why could it happen?

    Identifying retrospective risks

    Retrospective risk identification is often the most common way to identify risk,

    and the easiest. Its easier to believe something if it has happened before. It is

    also easier to quantify its impact and to see the damage it has caused.

    There are many sources of information about retrospective risk. These

    include:

    o hazard or incident logs or registers

    o audit reports

    o customer complaints

    o accreditation documents and reports

    o past staff or client surveys

    o Newspapers or professional media, such as journals or websites.

    Benefits of risk management

    Small businesses can expect to encounter many benefits from applying risk

    management principles in a structured and systematic way. These include:

    o Improved communication between staff and with external stakeholders

    o Improved understanding of the impacts that management practices

    have on a business

    o Improved relationships with stakeholders such as clients, employees,

    suppliers and contractors

    o Enhanced business planning and achievement of objectives and goals

    o Reduced litigation potential

    o Increased competitive advantage

    o Enhanced quality of product or service

    o Increased efficiency and productivity

    Employee Training Plane

    Based on learning principles, here is a checklist for a successful employeelearning experience:

    The goals of the employee training or development program are clear The employees are involved in determining the knowledge, skills, and

    abilities to be learned The employees are participating in activities during the learning

    process The work experiences and knowledge that employees bring to each

    learning situation are used as a resource A practical and problem-centered approach based on real examples is

    used New material is connected to the employee's past learning and work

    experience The employees are given an opportunity to reinforce what they learn by

    practicing The learning environment is informal, safe and supportive The individual employee is shown respect The learning opportunity promotes positive self-esteem

    43

  • 7/27/2019 MIT (Managment in Information Technology) Documentation

    44/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    Learn more about learning principles and how they relate to your employeetraining & development program.

    Employee training and development process

    Learning happens all the time whether or not you are fully aware of it. Are youa person who forgets to save your work on your computer on a regular basis?If a power failure occurs and you loose some data, do you learn anything? Ifyou say to yourself, "I must remember to save more often", you have donesome learning. This type of learning is called incidental learning; you havelearned without really thinking about it or meaning to. On the other hand,intentional learning happens when you engage in activities with an attitude of"what can I learn from this?" Employee development requires you to approacheveryday activity with the intention of learning from what is going on aroundyou.

    Who is responsible for employee training and development?

    Employee training is the responsibility of the organization. Employeedevelopment is a shared responsibility of management and the individualemployee. The responsibility of management is to provide the right resourcesand an environment that supports the growth and development needs of theindividual employee.

    For employee training and development to be successful, managementshould:

    Provide a well-crafted job description - it is the foundation upon whichemployee training and development activities are built

    Provide training required by employees to meet the basiccompetencies for the job. This is usually the supervisor's responsibility

    Develop a good understanding of the knowledge, skills, and abilitiesthat the organization will need in the future. What are the long-termgoals of the organization and what are the implications of these goalsfor employee development? Share this knowledge with staff

    Look for learning opportunities in every-day activity. Was there anincident with a client that everyone could learn from? Is there a new

    government report with implications for the organization? Explain the employee development process and encourage staff to

    develop individual development plans Support staff when they identify learning activities that make them an

    asset to your organization both now and in the future

    For employee development to be a success, the individual employee should:

    Look for learning opportunities in every-day activity Identify goals and activities for development and prepare an individual

    development plan

    45/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    1. Stress training as investment. The reason training is oftenconsidered optional at many companies is because it is thought of asan expense rather than an investment. While its true that training canbe costly up front, it's a long-term investment in the growth anddevelopment of your human resources.

    2. Determine your needs. As you probably dont have unlimited time orfunds to execute an employee training program, you should decideearly on what the focus of your training program should be. Determinewhat skills are most pertinent to address current or future companyneeds or ones that will provide the biggest payback. Ask yourself, Howwill this training eventually prove beneficial to the company? Repeatthis process as your business needs change.

    3. Promote a culture of learning. In todays fast-paced economy, if abusiness isnt learning, its going to fall behind. A business learns as its

    people learn. Communicate your expectations that all employeesshould take the necessary steps to hone their skills and stay on top oftheir professions or fields of work. Make sure you support those effortsby providing the resources needed to accomplish this goal.

    4. Get management on board. Once you have developed a prioritizedlist of training topics that address key needs within your company, youneed to convince management to rally behind the initiative.

    5. Start out small. Before rolling out your training program to themasses, rehearse with a small group of users and gather theirfeedback. This sort of informal benchmarking exposes weaknesses inyour training plans and helps you fine tune the training process.

    6. Choose quality instructors and materials. Who you select toconduct the training will make a major difference in the success of yourefforts, whether its a professional educator or simply a knowledgeablestaff member. Having the right training materials is also important afterthe training is over, these materials become valuable resources for

    trainees.

    7. Find the right space. Select a training location thats conducive tolearning. Choose an environment thats quiet and roomy enough tospread out materials. Make sure the space is equipped with acomputer and projector, so you can present a visually stimulatingtraining session.

    8. Clarify connections. Some employees may feel that the trainingthey're receiving isn't relevant to their job. Its important to help themunderstand the connection early on, so they dont view the training

    sessions as a waste of valuable time. Employees should see the

    45

  • 7/27/2019 MIT (Managment in Information Technology) Documentation

    46/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    training as an important addition to their professional portfolios. Awardpeople with completion certificates at the end of the program.

    9. Make it ongoing. Dont limit training solely to new employees.Organized, ongoing training programs will maintain all employees skill

    levels, and continually motivate them to grow and improveprofessionally.

    10. Measure results. Without measurable results, its almost impossible toview training as anything but an expense. Decide how youre going toobtain an acceptable rate of return on your investment. Determine whatkind of growth or other measure is a reasonable result of the trainingyou provide. Youll have an easier time budgeting funds for futuretraining if you can demonstrate concrete results.

    Purpose of Training and Development

    Reasons for emphasizing the growth and development of personnel include

    Creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacements forpersonnel who may leave or move up in the organization.

    Enhancing the company's ability to adopt and use advances intechnology because of a sufficiently knowledgeable staff.

    Building a more efficient, effective and highly motivated team, whichenhances the company's competitive position and improves employeemorale.

    Ensuring adequate human resources for expansion into new programs.

    Research has shown specific benefits that business receives from training

    and developing its workers, including:

    Increased productivity. Reduced employee turnover. Increased efficiency resulting in financial gains. Decreased need for supervision.

    Employees frequently develop a greater sense of self-worth, dignity and well-being as they become more valuable to the firm and to society. Generally theywill receive a greater share of the material gains that result from theirincreased productivity. These factors give them a sense of satisfactionthrough the achievement of personal and company goals.

    TASK # 3.1

    Staff Motivation

    Productivity of any organization or department or work unit depends upon the

    people who work in that unit. Given the same inputs, people can products

    more if they work more thus increasing the productivity of the organization,

    department or work unit. How to make people work more or work better? is

    an issue that requires an understanding of what motivates people to work

    better in higher proportions with marginal increase in some inputs. This

    requires an understanding of the term motivation.

    Motivation can be defined as a concept used to describe the factors with in an

    individual which arouse, maintain and channel behavior towards a goal.

    There are different types of motivation such as,

    The Role of Motivation

    48/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    Simple model of motivation

    Theories of motivation

    Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

    Physiological Needs (Level I):

    This Level is the most basic human needs. They include food, water, comfort,

    shelter drink rest etc... The organization helps to satisfy employees

    physiological needs by a paycheck.

    Safety Needs (Level II):

    This Level is the desires for security and stability, to feel safe from harm.

    Where the basic needs are reasonably satisfied we turn to thinking about

    protection from danger, security and order so that we feel safe. These needs

    can be a concern for physical but also covers Physiological safety needs such

    as job security etc. the organization helps to satisfy employees safety needs

    by benefits.

    Social Needs (Level III):

    This Level is the desires for affiliation. They include friendship, love and

    belonging. The organization helps to satisfy employees social needs throughsports teams, parties and celebrations. The supervisor can help fulfill social

    48

    49/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    needs by shoeing direct care and concern for employees. Social needs such

    as needing acceptance, giving receiving affection and belonging become

    things that people want

    Esteem Needs (Level IV):

    This Level is the desires for achievement, self esteem, self confidents, self

    respect and/or recognition from others, and status. The organization helps to

    satisfy employees esteem needs by matching the skills and abilities of the

    employee to the job. The supervisor can help fulfill esteem needs by showing

    workers that their work is appreciated.

    Self-actualization Needs (Level V):

    This Level is the desires for self-fulfillment and the realization of the

    individuals full potential. The need to become the person that we feel we are

    capable of becoming. This means that we have achieved what we consider to

    be our very best. The supervisor can help fulfill Self-actualization by assigning

    tasks that challenge employees minds while drawing on their aptitude and

    training.

    Hertzberg Theories

    Hertzbergs two factor Theory

    Like Maslow Hertzberg believed that people had higher and lower

    levels of needs. Unlike Maslow who had five levels of needs

    Hertzberg has divided human needs into two categories.

    o Hygiene Factor

    Environmental factors such as salary, inter-personal

    relationships working conditions, style of leadership and types of

    supervision, security, type of work, working hours, status.

    Hygiene factors are so called because they are seen to work like

    preventative medicine. They stop you from getting sick but do

    not really do anything to make you the healthiest that you can

    be, or better than you where. In a management context this

    means that hygiene factors dont motivate people to do their

    very best but they are needed to stop people becoming

    dissatisfied with their jobs.

    o Motivating Factor

    Factors within a job which allow for such things as achievement,

    responsibility, recognition, advancement, challenge, Hertzberg

    suggests that these factors are the ones which encourage

    people to strive to do well, in other words to motivate them to do

    their best.

    Hertzberg believed that these two levels of needs were important for job

    satisfaction however they worked in different ways. If the lover needs are

    inadequate workers will quickly become dissatisfied, however, as these needs

    are satisfied trying to motivate staff by just adding more hygiene factors such

    as wages or work hours is an inefficient and short term solution. A better way

    would be to appeal to their higher level needs by giving them more

    responsibility or giving them greater scope for advancement. In this way the

    individuals goals are satisfied as well as those of the organization. Job

    enrichment programs are where jobs are redesigned to incorporate these

    motivating factors.

    Employee Motivation

    o Make your presence known

    Coming to work and announcing your arrival is a great way to motivate

    employees and put a smile on their face first thing in the morning. Walking

    through the doors and simply saying good morning with a smile on your facecan make all the difference in the world.

    o Verbal Praise

    This kind of praise doesnt have to be over dramatic or over the top, most

    times showing respect for your employees by saying simple things like please

    and thank you are easy and effective ways to motivate your employees.

    Simply saying you did a great job when the employee deserves it is anotherway that verbal praise can work to motivate employees.

    o Set clear expectations

    Communicating deadlines, objectives, and requirements of a job is essential

    to completing the task efficiently. Sometimes these things are reported very

    well but they may change. Usually these changes are not discussed in detail

    and therefore it causes employees to feel that they are either not important

    enough to be told why the changes are taking place, or that the manager has

    made a mistake. Neither of these thoughts will lead to a motivated employee.

    One way to prevent this is to always get some kind of feedback from the

    employee about the job so that you are certain that he knows what is

    expected. If there is a change in a project, tell the employee why. Make them

    part of the solution to the problem.

    o Give employees regular feedback

    Let the employee know when he is doing a good job. This also works theother way, let the employee know when you are not pleased with the outcome

    and why. This is a great opportunity to let the to ask the employee if there is

    anything that you as a manager can do to help employee know how they can

    do better next time. Also, now is a good time with the change. Wait for

    feedback from the employee. Talk it over and have a real discussion. This will

    make the employee feel like you are not upset about the job, but that you are

    genuinely concerned and willing to help correct the problem.

    o Create consequences

    Make sure to not only tell the employee when you are pleased with the work,

    but also provide rewards and recognition for outstanding work. A personally

    written thank you card is a very effective and inexpensive way to do this.

    When an employee is not working up to the expectations set by the company,

    it is motivating to other workers, after all, they may think, If he isnt doing itwhy should I? That is why it is so important to make clear consequences for

    51

  • 7/27/2019 MIT (Managment in Information Technology) Documentation

    52/61

    MIT (Management in IT)

    those who do not perform as expected. It is very important to be consistent

    with these consequences.

    Y2K Group financial motivation

    Most people work to satisfy needs of one kind or another. Non financialmotivators are things other than money that motivate people to work. Isuggested Maslowss Hierarchy of Needs.

    1. Basic needs: for food, drink and shelter2. Safety needs: protection against danger, threat, deprivation3. Social needs: the need for belonging, acceptance, friendship4. Self-esteem needs: reputation, status5. Self-actualizations: the need for realizing one's own potential for

    continual self-development

    In a hierarchy the things at the top are more important than those at thebottom. Company said the lower levels have to be satisfied first. Only whenthese needs have been satisfied will the individual strive to satisfy the higherneeds. For example, hungry, cold people will seek food and shelter first. Oncethey are well fed and comfortable, they will turn their attention to higherneeds,

    Basic needs:

    A fair wage, a meal and rest facilities

    Safety needs

    Job security, safe working conditions, and pension schemes.

    Social needs

    Met by introducing team work and perhaps providing social facilitieslike a club or sports pitch.

    Self-esteem needs

    This is about how others see us at work and can be provided for byrewarding staff with status symbols like cars, offices and new jobtitles. Allowing staff to gain qualifications at work can boost self-esteem too.

    Self-actualization

    Achieving your full potential a business must ensure that promotion is

    possible and that there are opportunities to use initiative.

    Y2K Group non financial motivation

    Money, and the way it is paid, can affect motivation to work. In your exam,you may be asked to calculate wages and bonuses or to compare one type ofpayment scheme to another. These are some of the most usual payment

    systems:

    Time rate or 'wages' Paying by the number of hoursworked.

    Piece rate Paying by the number of items(pieces) produced.

    Overtime Extra pay for work done over and

    above normal working hours. It isusually paid at a higher hourly rate,e.g. double time means twice thenormal hourly rate.

    Shift payments Usually paid for working unsocialhours such as night work.

    Bonus payments A special single payment forachieving a target.

    Profit sharing A percentage of the company's profitis shared amongst the workers.

    Loan Giving some Loans to Employee

    Paying extra money for jobs with difficult hours will usually encourage peopleto apply for the work

    Aloyalty bonus can be used to persuade workers to stay with their employerfor a long period of time. Employees may not want to work longer than theircontracted hours but they can often be persuaded to do so by receiving ahigher rate of pay.

    A perk is a payment in kind. Instead of giving money the employer mightprovide:

    cars health insurance free uniform

    discounted products first class travel

    53

    It is often cheaper for the employer to provide goods rather than the money tobuy them with. A good perk will make an employee reluctant to leave thebusiness

    A good answer will suggest introducing some of the following things:

    Providing a pleasant room for staff to use during breaks. Providing subsidized meals or improving the existing canteen. Giving permanent contracts of employment An occupational pension scheme Introducing team working and giving teams more say in how things are

    done Advertising job opportunities internally Introducing a newsletter or regular briefing for all staff Rewarding staff with perks like company cars, insurance schemes or

    discounted goods

    TASK # 3.2

    Performance Appraisal

    Performance appraisal (PA) is the process through which an individual

    employees behavior and accomplishments for a fixed time period are

    measured and evaluated. The major purpose of measuring and evaluating is

    to asses the worth or value. Performance appraisal is a systematic and

    objective way of jading the relevant worth or identify those who are

    performance their assigned tasks well and those who are not the reasons for

    such performance. Performance appraisal is thus the process of reviewing an

    individuals performance and progress in a job and assessing his potential for

    future improvement. It is a systematic method of obtaining, analyzing andrecording information about a person that is needed.
