DDBA-8582-Week-6-Discussion-1-Performance-Strategies (D1–W6)

Participants:

Why is it important to measure organizational performance through HR metrics? How might individual performance strategies be aligned with HR and organizational strategies?

An HR operating plan consists of various strategies that are aligned with the organization’s mission, vision, and its larger strategies. Departments often develop performance goals as action steps that support organizational HR strategies identified to improve overall organizational performance. For this Discussion, you explore how various pay–for–performance strategies might support several organizational objectives and the HR operating strategies related to organizational performance.
