PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

My Opinion on the Experts’ Recommendations

Performance appraisal is all about evaluating the way an employee is doing their job and one of its main purposes is for career development. This is why I am of the opinion that the experts were right in asking Rob to separate the appraisals from salary increases. This is because salary increase does not necessarily constitute or result in an employee’s career growth. The current appraisal method has been ineffective in that the secretaries have been appraised as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ just so that they don’t miss out on the annual ...

Utility test results for the three methods are as follows; structured interviews (95,080), working sample test (57,200) and mental ability test (75,120). The utility decreased when we factored in more applicants. That implies a reduction in efficiency of the system.

What is happening with the revenue?
There is not enough historical data to assess whether the revenue’s performance is good or bad. But if looking at how it affects income, the YTD shows that revenue is enough to cover allowances for doubtful accounts and operating expenses while the current month reported a net loss. As pointed out in the difficulties experienced by the hospital, it may be the increasing competition and excessive staff overtime, reflected in dwindling revenue (as % shows approximately 7% decline) and almost 5% addition in contractual allowances and salaries and wages.

- In most of these countries, does universal coverage provide the gold standard of care?

Universal coverage is provided by the state to its residents. In most of the countries, universal health coverage is funded through public and private funds. Also, private insurance and care are available for those who opt to pay. However, universal health care coverage in many countries does not provide the gold standard of care (Basch, 2006). In Canada, universal coverage is financed by both value added and income tax. Nonetheless, many residents have private insurance to allow them access fast and scarce services and pay costs not catered under universal coverage.

Nucor is a rare company, which lives on a spirit of teamwork. The illustration of this is through its management philosophy, incentive plans, and organizational design.
