Vitality Health Enterprises, a medium-sized company that manufactures personal and health care products, has experienced six straight quarters of strong sales increase. The innovative Senior Vice President of the Human Resources, James Hoffman, concerns that the focus of the company's is being shifted by the chain of succeeding away from performance management that is successful.
Recently, Energy has been confronted with raising employee turnover among the talented research scientists of the company's which may be due to a performance management system that leaves top performing workers slighted by the practice of consistent ratings. In an effort to retain top workers, the company institutes a forced distribution model of operation standings, going from an absolute ranking system to a comparative one. Hoffman and his performance management evaluation team must assess the strategic and practical effectiveness of the brand new system and present their findings and recommendations to the Board.
