Reflect on your previous work experience in which you have observed and/or taken part in a performance management system, i.e., an integrated system of events with the overarching goal of improving the performance of the whole organization, and address the following:

• Explain why it is critical for the performance management system to be congruent with the organization’s mission, vision, culture, and strategies.
• Examine if there were any gaps in the system alignment to the overall performance of your organization, and explain your conclusions.
• Outline how any gaps you identify could have been closed and/or improvements that will help the performance management system’s alignment to the organization.
• Analyze how you, as the HR Director, might improve the effectiveness of the organization’s performance management system.
