Performance Assessment How would we evaluate our employees?
Image FX is a company with seventy-two employees. In order to make certain that each employee is working productively and to his or her fullest ability, assessments must be completed at regular intervals.
Why should we evaluate our employees? • Ensure that the employee is working to his or her fullest potential • Ensure that he or she is promoting a healthy work environment • Ensure that he or she is working towards the company’s mission
Our Performance Assessment System What? • Summative Assessment - Generic • Formative Assessment - Department specific When? • Annual Summative • Quarterly Formative - 360 Degree Feedback Assessment
Pros: Quicker Simpler Cons: Is not detailed enough Too general Cannot make personalized statements The Checklist
Pros: It is more personal Can help both the employee and employer Detailed and specific Cons: Takes too much time Tedious The Narrative
Our System: The Best of Both Worlds • It gives room for personal statement as well as general commentary. • It is both general, yet specific, being more useful to the employee. • It does not consume too much time, yet enough to allow for a productive evaluation.
Summative The Summative Assessment will be done annually. It will be generic and completed by the upper-management personnel. It will be aimed at assessing an employee’s work habits. It will involve: • Checklist • Narrative
Formative The Formative Assessment will be done quarterly and will be department specific. It will be aimed at assessing an employee’s progress towards the company’s mission. It will involve: • Checklist (by upper-management) • Narrative (by upper-management) • Narrative (two by peers)
360 Degree Feedback • This process is to provide employees with a better understanding of how and when he or she accomplishes their work. • The employees will not be evaluated only by the upper-management levels, but also by fellow co-workers.
As a result of two lawsuits filed against our company we have prepared a defense to these cases.
Case 1 • Who: Jon Doe • Basis: The recruiting and hiring practices of Image FX violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. • Background Information: Applied for the position of Marketing Director • Claimed he was as qualified as the female candidate who was hired for the position. • Claimed he was denied the position because of his gender • Claimed Image FX made it a priority to hire more female candidates in managementroles.
Executive Order 11246 • The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that certain applicants are employed. • Forces companies to hire members of the discriminated party. • Affirmative action -policy that seeks to redress past discrimination to ensure equal opportunity.
Legal Precedence • Johnson vs. Transportation Agency- was a similar case to the one presented. • Diane Joyce was promoted to road dispatcher over Paul Johnson. • Both candidates were qualified for the job. As an affirmative action employer, the Agency took into account the sex of the applicants in making the promotion decision. • Transportation Agency was forced to higher Diane Joyce due to affirmative action.
Conclusion: Case 1 • Due to the EEOC laws regarding affirmative action, Image FX was entirely within its rights, if not obligated to hire Jane Doe as opposed to Jon Doe.
Case 2 • Who: Jane Doe • Basis: The hiring and recruiting practices of Image FX violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. • Background Information: Applied for the position of Director of Finance • Claimed that the requirement of an MBA degree discriminated against minority applicants • Claimed that it prevented a disproportionate number of minorities from even applying for the position.
Title VII of Civil Rights Act • It is not unlawful employment practice for an employer to give and to act upon the results of any professionally developed ability test provided that such test, isn’t used to discriminate because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Section 703(h)
Legal Precedence • Griggs vs. Duke Power Company • Willie filed a class action, on behalf of several fellow African-American employees. • Griggs challenged Duke’s requiring employees to register a minimum score on two separate aptitude tests in addition to having a high school education • Griggs claimed that policy discriminated against African-American employees in violation to Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by causing a disproportionately low number to apply. • Neither the high school graduation requirement nor the two aptitude tests was directed or intended to measure an employee's ability to learn or perform a particular job or category of jobs within the company. • Court concluded…
