Maya has just been hired as the chief executive officer (CEO) to turn around Phoenix Solutions, a once-thriving tech company now struggling with declining revenues, high turnover, and employee engagement scores that are taking a nosedive. During her first week, Maya discovered that the performance management system was in shambles. Performance reviews consisted of vague feedback such as “meets expectations” with little explanation. Goals changed constantly and were often communicated through casual hallway conversations. Job descriptions have not been updated in years. Employee development was mentioned in reviews but rarely supported with resources or opportunities. Top performers received the same annual 2% raises as underperformers, leading to lower motivation and turnover.

It is clear that the organization needs to move in a new direction. Maya believes that the organization needs a new performance management plan. You are going to be a part of Maya’s transformation team. As part of the team, you are going to help advance the organization from a struggling startup to an industry leader.

There is a delicate balance between legal requirements, ethical responsibilities, and human reactions’ effect on employee evaluation and feedback. Organizations need to design performance systems that are both legally compliant and perceived as fair by employees. By ensuring fair and ethical employee evaluations, the performance management system can effectively motivate employees and support performance throughout the organization. A fair and ethical performance management system provides managers with a good foundation for performance discussions with employees.

However, not all performance discussions are perceived positively. Therefore, it is important that organizations train managers and employees on the benefit of performance discussions and how they can be conducted effectively. Some organizations also use pay for performance strategies to reward employee performance, so it is important that employee performance is evaluated accurately.

Read the following article: Employee Performance Evaluation Laws: 2025 Guide to Key U.S. and Global Regulations.

• What laws should be considered when conducting a performance evaluation?
• When conducting performance evaluations, what can managers do to prevent discrimination?
• What ethical principles should be considered when rewarding employee performance?
• As a manager, what would you do if an employee disagreed with their performance review?

Assignment Details

Case Study

After much labor and management conflict, this integrated managed care consortium and over 25 unions created the Labor Management Partnership (LMP). Today, it is considered a model of union and labor partnerships for the future of labor and management relations. This collaboration involved over 90,000 employees and changed the fabric of union and management relationships. Instead of being a competitive bargaining process, it became a collaborative partnership of mutual respect to a goal of mutual gains. The collaboration resulted in improved services (increased patient satisfaction), improved financial results, and happier employees. Many are encouraging this model to become a standard for future union and management negotiations.

Develop an 8–10-slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

• Describe the unions that were part of this partnership, including the type of union (craft, industrial, general, white collar) and whether it is a federal or local union.
• What is the value of having union members participate in decision making?
• What was the advantage of using a coalition or team-based approach?
• A continuous improvement strategy was used in this case. Describe this strategy and how it relates to the focus of the coalition.
• Provide an example of how the model of labor-management relations used in this case could be applied in a different industry.

Your presentation should be 8–10 slides (not including the title and reference slides) with 200–250 words of speaker notes per slide
