Executive Summary
This report was generated to assist American Express in visualizing how the use of internal recruitment to fill vacancies of higher-level positions by linking the staffing, performance management, and compensation plans. How these links can further strengthen the organizational culture by being internally aligned with the vision of employing the most superior and dedicated staff. The research findings will show that when an employee has a clearly defined career path, they inevitably become more dedicated and motivated to achieve common company goals and standards.
To ensure successful transition to an internal recruitment policy, Team Fabulous will be recommending the following: * Adopt new hiring and progression policies. * Implement new appraisal training programs. * Adopt use of new performance appraisal forms that include employee self-appraisals and individual development plans. * Adopt a new compensation structure.
Analysis of the vast information that was gathered has indicated that the proper use of a comprehensive performance management system provides both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards which results in a higher level of motivation for current employees and makes employment attractive to prospective employees.
