Watch “The Sid Story” video and submit on one page three discussion questions (with their answers) that you would use in the facilitation of a 20-minute segment of a training session based on this video.
You are a newly hired HR professional in a medium-size company, which is a video gaming company that is globally recognized as a leader and groundbreaking competitor. It is a young firm that has grown quickly, from one having no HR staff to having five HR professionals supporting over 700 employees and a performance appraisal system that has been in place for several years. The management team is not all that comfortable with any system of appraisal but has accepted that one is required.
The organization currently has a healthy employee engagement program. Part of the program is a yearly organizational satisfaction survey that over time has provided employee input about what they perceive as a lack of performance appraisal effectiveness. Employees feel the current performance appraisal system is not capable of identifying struggling and failing employees. At the same time, it is also described as not having the capacity to recognize the best performers in the organization. That is, there is a stated desire from employees for a performance appraisal system that can better differentiate performance outcomes.
The current performance appraisal system is similar to the traditional academic evaluation system with five levels of performance: superior, outstanding, contributing substantively, developing, and needing improvement. The leadership in the organization insists that a new three-level (superior, contributing substantively, and needing improvement) will favorably respond to the employees’ viewpoint. This new appraisal system that tracks the assignment of each level by employee would limit how many high threes would be given every year, thus most people in the organization would fall into the category of contributing substantively.
As an HR professional in the organization, you desire the best outcome for your organization and its employees, and are not sure if this three-level system would be best. Your challenge is to select the best course of action among the following options and recommend that action to the leadership team. You can recommend 1) they retain the current five-level performance appraisal system, 2) they adopt the three-level system with forced-distribution preferred by the leadership team (superior, contributing substantively, and needing improvement), or 3) an alternative.
Prepare a 2–3-page plan that states your recommended course of action. Along with your recommendation, include the following:

The additional reading this week summarizes the importance of organizational culture and how it can impact the work being done. Leaders not only manage the staff and the day-to-day functions of an organization but also model desired behavior in their actions and words. The article highlights what occurs when disconnect between staff and organizational culture happens, as well as ways to effectively lead to create a sustaining agency culture.
Read the chapter:
Reshaping organizations through culture and strategy (O’Brien, Katz, Starkey-Taylor, Johnstone, Cohen, Hansen-Turton, Callan, Bradberry, & Benoit, 2014)
As you read the chapter, consider the following:
Social Movement
The two social movements that I will address in the final project are the Abolition movement and the Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) social movement. These two social movements happened during different eras but both work towards a common goal, which is ensuring that a marginalized group in the society has equal rights. In my research, I will address the historical background of each social movement and the ideologies that jumpstarted each movement. I will go further to analyze the leadership structure of each movement and the challenges that they face or faced. Most importantly, the research will examine the success and failures and the impact of each of the campaign.
My initial findings have established the sources of each of these social movements and the major success that they have each managed to achieve. The Abolition movement was jumpstarted with the effort of ending slavery in America. The basis of this movement was that all men were created equal and hence, the effort to emancipate slaves (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, (2017). This movement began in the 1830s and ended around 1870 (Martos, Wilson & Meyer, (2017). This movement was an essential step in ensuring that African Americans were free to form slavery and played a crucial role in ending racial segregation and discrimination.
On the other hand, the Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) social movement was initiated with the interest of providing the LGBT with same movements as heterosexual individuals in the society (Lysack, 2012). This movement was started to end homophobic, transphobic and biphobic attitudes that prevented individual in this category to live comfortably in the society (Lysack, 2012). Notable successes of this movement are that it has managed to achieve legality of gay marriages (Lysack, 2012). Regardless, this movement continues to have challenges, especially on the international front, where certain cultures fail to recognize these laws. Each of these social movements has had an essential role in addressing human rights violations which is an aspect I would explore more in the final research process.
