Developing A Performance Management System For College Nuveau

Suggestions for Developing the Performance Management System

As per the current scenario in College Nuveau, they need to develop their performance management system. A new modification required to increase the base of both aboriginal and international students along with developing compatibility and skills of their staff. There are two suggestions in order to develop the overall performance management system. The two suggestions are moving attention from quantity to quality of feedbacks and conversions as well as development of a continuous performance management software over appraisal software to fulfil the requirement of an online system in thee college. The new plans will also involve an annual performance review along with a mid-year check-in process. All these requirements and plans will be discussed in detail afterwards.

2.Include a Communication Plan.

The communication plan is attached in the Appendix.

3. Section 1 – Create a sense of urgency – Write a speech that you will give to create a sense of urgency. Your audience will be the key leaders in the organization.

Speech for developing a sense of urgency

Thank you, everyone, for allowing the opportunity to convey this message but first, let me congratulate the staff members and students for making so much progress in this short period of time congratulations on taking the initiative and making a difference in our society.

As the world is constantly progressing, we have to adapt and change ourselves. Now, the reason is higher than never before. The economy is changing so is the world power. Our children and students need to be able to keep up with the changing scenarios. It is our responsibility as teachers and professors to guide them in the right direction but in recent years, a lot has happened and if blame game is started than it will, leave no stones unturned (Young 2017). 

There is an urgent need to change the methods of delivering our ideas, knowledge and accepting, adopting as well. This change needs to start from not only the teachers but also the students as well. There are many circumstances observed where numerous inefficient and lack of proper planning is showing its effect. If this keeps up our vision of making a change in the society can never take place. It is important that we now not only address these problems but also make an afford to change the scenarios into our favor. It is expected from our staffs and students to fully cooperate so that the change can start with us.

4. Section 2 – Build a guiding coalition. Who will you choose for your coalition? Describe their position and why you chose them for the coalition.

As a consultant for the college and the nature of work that is being provided, choosing a professional who has the knowledge of what needs to done on the issues and a person who can answer what is the issue why is the issue and why is the issue now will be a good choice. Team that must have some form of answer to the above-mentioned questions will also be very much desirable.  However, making sure of work being conducted in a manner so that everyone’s engagement can be assured will be a big challenge (Barnlund, 2017). Because of the nature of the work, no staff wants to put out his or her time into the cause and they think this is an unnecessary exercise.

Communication Plan

As the head of the Human Resource department wants an online system in order to make efficient staff, to carry out some development plains and an online platform, taking some old and young staff for the process would be very much helpful. The initiative is taken by the human resource team in order to carry out the much-needed changes but they have failed to do so because of the communication issues. Choosing them will perhaps the best way of conducting the task in limited time because they can provide a perfect insight into what needs to be done as they have more knowledge on the matter. They have the knowledge of the colleges’ history and management system and can provide good data for making the system more efficient. They also can share their experience and provide new ideas for a better performance management system.

For the purpose of the college’s need for increase in international students and aboriginal staffs, taking a native origin staff along with an international staff will be a good option as because they can provide information on why there are not many students and staffs from their country and locality are not joining into the system. Then working with the local people or a small company’s employees for collection of additional data can be very much helpful to the cause. These above methods can help provide quantitative and quality data as well. As the plain require a constant update of data the inner source, (staffs) will be more than enough to keep the updating process going.

This team need some internal sources and some external sources as well. Some one teacher who recently joined the college should be there because he or she can provide an overall experience of a teacher as a new comer. One old teacher should also be chosen to understand the system that he college follows, one outside source specifically from a company that allows internship. They are needed because the can give answer to questions such as why they are not hiring students or what are the skill, they expect from them and many more. Couple of human resource team people because they have the perfect knowledge of every person’s background.

There are other staffs working in the college who are very much concerned with the survey process perhaps that is the reason no one wants to contribute to the cause. Their fear of being terminated making them nervous and keeping them to join in.

5. Articulate your strategic vision and initiatives.

The primary vision for taking the initiative is to make sure that a system is being created so that the teachers can be trained well, more local can join the group, and induction of new foreign students can take place (Fullan, & Rincon-Gallardo, 2016). The secondary vision is to make a system that can stay update and keep a track of the teachers and the progress for the school as well. The plain is to make the school more efficient and useful along with creating a bridge between the old employees and that of new to reduce the gap between their generation in terms of using technology and teaching methods.

Speech

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, collection of data is required. For that, reason couple of native staffs along with some foreign students are taken for the research purposes. It is being carried out in order to find out the reason for less participation by them can be understood. Numerous question needed to be asked to them in order to achieve a qualitative data. Having good data can make a lot of difference in the system making process and with limited resources, it can be as useful as the process can get.

The college came up with a fantastic idea of collaborating with the local companies and make employment and skilled training to its members (Mayfield, Mayfield, & Sharbrough, 2015). Making a collaboration will be resulted in providing higher level of services for the students. Therefore, the involvement of parents along with some stakeholders will be adequate and they too would want to have a better studying environment for the students. However, collaboration with the local authorities can only be possible if in case of sufficient, data is available on the database.

The ultimate goal is to make a better school and the above method can help provide such facility. So that every student could get a job or start their own business. The teachers can have fun while teaching. The teaching process should not necessarily be boring and dull. The engagement between the teachers and the students will be there for any given task. The college can have many foreign and native students as well. The college need not to be non-profitable management and it should be able to start providing scholarship to needy once.    

1. Include a poster or email that you will use to develop your volunteers.(Refer to appendix)

The need of making an afford to change the system has come upon us. The change is needed and it will start with us. It is our responsibility to make a change in our college system and come together as a family to develop and prosper together.

It is high time that we join the program and start a difference with ourselves. This Nouveau College is suffering from less native staffs along with a smaller number of foreign students. The modes of making income are very much limited. If in case of the higher number of foreign student take, their admission in the college then there can be a lot of difference in terms of making money for the college. In order to make it happen the college is taking the initiative and trying to make a difference. The foreign students are considered as the untapped stream of making revenue (Yamashita, López, Soligo & Keene, 2017). However, it can never be successful without the support of local authorities along with some friendly and helpful students. We are in very much in need of volunteers in order to conduct the survey and the changes thereafter (Brendel, Heyde, Brunst, Hilbrich & Weber, 2016).

The collage has a rich history, it has stood the taste of time staffs, and students are in need of changes, the changes that can alter the schools’ future. The college suffering from old methods of conducting the performance managing system and hopes to make a difference on the matter by adopting a digital method of conducting performance-managing system.  The college is taking the initiative and trying to make the difference on the matter. As the staffs and students of the college, it is your responsibility to come forward and join in our quest to make the college a better place for teaching, studying, compassing and many more. The lives of students along with the staffs will be changed with a little afford from volunteers.

Guiding Coalition

The need of local authorities is also very much needed and can help boost the goal reaching capability. We would be highly appreciated if any voluntaries from the local place join in and make the benefits for both the parties. Volunteers will be rewarded after the completion of the projects.  As the citizen of Canada, we have shown to the world our ability to stay united in a tough time and supported each other in crises. This college may not be in immediate crises but if attention is not being paid then it will be sooner than anyone can anticipate.

The project will take place with short goals in mind, identifying the short-term goals and wins and methods of achieving them is also a part of the system creatation. Achievements need to be recognized in order to keep the moral high of the school as well as the team conducting the project. Unpaid attention to recognize can make a huge dent on the moral of the person conducting the project. The volunteers will be highly appreciated if they join the group and make a difference. We urge everyone to join in our quest to save the college and make a difference into the society.

7. Identify your short-term wins, and how you will communicate them, how you will know if you’ve achieved them, and how you will celebrate the achievement.

Short term wins will be identified by short-term goal achievements. The above process will take place in different stages and make its way up to the completion of the project. It is very much necessary to make different sections of the process so that workload can be achieved and a proper target can set forth (Rohrschneider & Whitefield 2017). Understanding short-term achievement is easier than understanding the long-term achievement. For example, a collection of data from foreign students can be considered as an achievement, analyzing the data will be considered as another.  The achievements will be celebrated with applause and a meal. This method does save a lot of money and helps to keep the moral high among the volunteers. The long term achievement can be changing in the ratio of native student and foreign students. 

Work achieved	0 to 3 months	3 to 6 months	6 to 9 months
Collection of data from native students
Collection of data from teachers
Change in the foreign students ratio
Change in the ratio of

The success of the change will only be evaluated by seeing an updated performance management system, having a better ratio between the native and foreign students and higher number of native staff involvement. The induction of foreign student will provide a new motivation to the management for improvement and help with more revenue generation for the college.  In other words, by seeing a change on the issues for which the new system is being adopted. If in case there is no change even after the initiative than we need to get back to the drawing board and start from the scratches (Rohrschneider & Whitefield, 2017). The reason for which the plain was not successful will be looked after and changes will be made to better accommodate the situations. If in case there is no flaw found on the old methods then new methods will be adopted.

Conclusion

This study has been helpful in investigating the urgency and importance of performance management programs within educational institutes in order to overcome certain problems related to the management or work and skill development programs. This type of projects also helps in identifying the weaknesses and strengths of the employees as well as help in engaging other staff in the process. All the necessary information and steps have been highlighted that will be important while doing this type of projects in the future. On the other hand, with completing this project understanding of employee participation and knowledge regarding overall project completion have been enlarged effectively.
