c)      2- Many people feel that mentoring relationships should occur naturally, in situations where senior managers feel inclined to play the role. What are some advantages of setting up a formal mentoring program, rather than letting senior managers decide how and whom to help?

            It is important to understand that every individual may possess some mentoring skills, but the issue is that they don’t know about those skills, or never explore those skills in their personality. However, there can be situations, which may force them to come out with their mentoring skills. The senior manger do have enough experience to go with mentoring skills, but it is important for them to make sure that these mentoring skills are transferred to others as well. For this purpose, a mentoring program with some specific strategy can be extremely beneficial as everyone will get an equal opportunity to explore their mentoring skills. Moreover, people will also get to know about true traits of mentoring with a mentoring program.

Job Design: A job has certain roles, tasks and responsibilities to perform, so job design is crucial in this regard, as it would allow determining these roles as well as responsibilities.

Recruitment and selection: It is another key function performed by HR. The HR will determine a job description, and then relevant candidates will be selected and recruited by HR. It is important for HR to make sure that right person is selected for the right job.

Training and development: The HR has to manage this function as well, which is another critical one for the employees. The proper training and development program can enhance the performance of a company by enhancing the capabilities and skills of their employees through training, which is needed time to time.

Performance management: It is the essence of managing performance of employees through certain patterns so that their overall performance can be improved. The employee must not be assigned a task, which cannot fall under his/her expertise, rather assign the tasks with their expertise so that performance is managed well

Compensation: A proper compensation plan is crucial for an organization’s employees as it would keep them motivated and dedicated for their employer. If employee will get rewarded for their efforts, they will perform even better.

4- How can involving employees in the creation of performance standards improve the effectiveness of a performance management system? (Consider the criteria for effectiveness shown in Figure 8.2.)

            As per the effectiveness criteria, it is evident that performance standard creation can come up with better results, if employees are involved in the process. If an acceptability criterion is used along with the sessions on feedback, then there is more chance that organization will be able to meet the expectations of its employees. When employees’ need will be met, it will automatically improve the efficacy of performance management system. For instance, if a manager is going to apply some performance standards for employees, he/she must make sure that these standards would be actually acceptable for employees. Moreover, employees should be provided a proper feedback on new performance standards so that they may expect that what change is coming for them, and they prepare themselves for those acceptable standards.
