The procedure for overseeing employee performance and enhancing work inside the organization is known as performance management (Armstrong, 2021). Together, HR professionals and employees plan, monitor, and evaluate each person’s job goals and contribution to the firm.
Planning phase Together, staff members and managers assess each other’s job descriptions, examine how they relate to organizational goals, and establish a plan for the completion of deliverables. Also agreed upon are SMART performance objectives. Coaching Phase- Employees receive coaching to address complaints about their performance as well as feedback on their areas for development. Review Phase- Performance evaluations, summaries, and rewards are given to employees. 360-degree feedback- This method entails gathering information about performance in the manner of feedback from a variety of stakeholders, including coworkers, managers, and supervisors who evaluate a person’s performance based on a variety of behaviors or characteristics (Peng & Zeng, 2017). The development reports that are produced as a result of the participant input support performance improvement. Its benefit is that it helps people become self-aware of their talents and limitations, which inspire them to pursue personal development. The development of workplace ties is another benefit. Peer feedback aids in the development of connections and trust. When managers focus on the negativeside and ignore the positive side, it has the disadvantage of obscuring positive input. When people provide feedback that the boss wants to hear, it could potentially result in dishonest appraisals (Maulidi, 2020). Performance review Meetings SHRM (2018) define review meetings as “formal conversations intended to produce results that can help employees better their work efficiency and help organizations achieve goals and objectives.” During these meetings, the performance management planning stage goals are reviewed. Managers evaluate if goals have been met and provide helpful criticism. The manager and employee relationships are good, which is to its advantage. Direct lines of dialogue help to strengthen relationships. Its drawback is that it takes a lot of time. Review meetings can take a lot of time to hold, which delays organizational projects. Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Through both formal and informal operations, there is ongoing learning that is reflected upon and recorded in an individual growth strategy. By encouraging staff members to participate in both formal and informal instruction to advance skill and knowledge growth, it can be utilized to manage performance (Shonhe, 2020). When people use what they have learned in the job, it has the advantage of enhancing individual performance. Additionally, it improves skill sets that enable people to remain contemporary and creative. Its drawback is a lack of motivation and time to learn while working. High expenses, particularly for formal education, are a problem for CPDs.

(Solution) (AC4.1) Assess suitable types of contractual arrangements dependent on specific workforce need
Solution Permanent, full-time contracts Permanent, full-time contracts for delivery drivers offer both benefits and drawbacks, making their suitability dependent on ParcelCare’s operational needs and goals. Pros Permanent, full-time contracts provide job security and consistent income for delivery drivers, enhancing employee satisfaction and loyalty. This stability can lead to higher motivation and productivity, reducing turnover rates and the associated costs of recruitment and training as evidenced by Personio (2023). Full-time contracts also facilitate better workforce planning, ensuring ParcelCare has reliable staffing to meet delivery demands. Cons However, these contracts can be less flexible and more costly for the company. Full-time employees typically require benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, and retirement plans, increasing operational expenses. Additionally, the rigidity of permanent contracts may not align with fluctuating delivery volumes, leading to inefficiencies during low-demand periods. Suitability For ParcelCare, full-time contracts can be suitable if delivery volumes are consistently high, ensuring a stable workforce. However, a mixed model that includes part-time or flexible contracts might offer the necessary flexibility to adapt to changing demands while controlling costs. Part-Time Contracts Part-time contracts offer flexibility for delivery drivers, allowing them to balance work with other commitments. Drivers benefit from a stable income, albeit at reduced hours, while ParcelCare can adjust staffing levels according to demand. A significant advantage of part-time contracts is reduced costs associated with employee benefits, as part-time workers may not qualify for full benefits packages (Abogados, 2019). However, part-time drivers may lack the same commitment or availability as full-time employees, potentially impacting reliability and consistency. Zero-Hours Contracts Zero-hours contracts provide maximum flexibility, allowing ParcelCare to scale staffing up or down based on delivery demand without a fixed commitment to provide hours (CIPD, 2023c). For drivers, these contracts offer freedom to accept or decline work, appealing to those seeking flexibility. However, they also result in income uncertainty and lack of guaranteed hours, which can be challenging for drivers seeking stability. For ParcelCare, zero-hours contracts minimise costs during low-demand periods but may lead to difficulties in maintaining a loyal and consistent workforce due to potential driver dissatisfaction. Part-time contracts are most suitable for ParcelCare’s delivery drivers. They offer a stable income and consistent work schedule, which can enhance job satisfaction and reliability while allowing ParcelCare to adjust staffing levels as needed. This balance supports both operational needs and employee stability. Please click the following icon to access this assessment in full
