Performance management
WPA needs to manage the performance of its employees effectively if it
is to remain competitive. There are many methods that WPA can use to
manage the performance of their employees. These methods include:
* Appraisal systems:
Performance management is the system in which the employees are
reviewed at regular intervals so they are monitored to tell the
employer how they perform in their jobs. This is usually be carried
out by the employee’s manager, however it is practical to include in
the system.
Self evaluation: This is where the employee reviews their own
performance.
Peer evaluation: This involves an employee being reviewed by
colleagues who are at the same level or even lower than the employee
being monitored.
Regular appraisal helps WPA to improve the performance of the
workforce; feedback is given regularly which allows WPA to easily
identify if there is a problem, WPA also have a staff suggestion theme
called ‘think’ this allows the employees to discuss and forward their
views so that they are heard. The motivation of the employees are
improved as if an employee is working well they may be grateful for
some encouragement and a work of thanks, however on the other hand if
the employee is not doing so well they need to be told and they need
to know what is expected, if the performance is low WPA provide
training and support and if it is consistently below the standards of
WPA then they use a capability proce...

First, what is the American dream? According to David Wallechinsky, “the traditional American Dream is based on the belief that hardworking citizens can improve their lives, pay their monthly bill without worry, give their children a start to an even better life, and still save enough to live comfortably after they retire” (1). “The American Dream” states, “It has always represented the possibility for individuals to succeed and live a life of wealth and comfort, made possible by both the political and economic attitudes in the USA and the individual’s own hard work” (1). Daniella Nicole adds that “in years past, chasing the American Dream meant the sky was the limit. . .” (1). “At the core of the concept is the individual’s responsibility to aim for and achieve the American dream by working hard and taking advantage of the freedom offered to them by the country” (“The American Dream” 1). “A recent nationwide survey from LearnVest found that 43 percent of Americans today feel the dream is attainable for everyone - and about the same percentage feels that it’s within their grasp, personally,” notes Camille Noe Pagan. “For American Dreamers today,” states Nicole, ...

Imagine the reaction of a couple who received a chilling prophecy from an oracle who declared that their infant was destined to kill his father and marry his mother. Would it be reasonable for a couple murder their child, because of a frightening prophecy? Modern society would be aghast at this disgusting choice, but unfortunately Oedipus’s parents abandoned him, where he was saved by the mercy of others. Fate was against Oedipus, and he inadvertently created a domino effect of tragic choices that would make his parent’s prophecy a reality. Oedipus fled Corinth leading him to kill a disrespectful stranger. He solved the Sphinx’s riddle which gave him kingship and the queen of Thebes. Oedipus went from death row to royalty temporarily, but he would discover a truth that would ruin his life. This idea of fate was conflicted with the Oedipus complex as believed by film producer Pasolini and author Freud who believed that Oedipus’s actions were a result of a sexual bond with his mother. They believed that this sexual bond was the underlying factor that led Oedipus to kill his father Laius and marry his mother Jocasta. To affirm their beliefs, Pasolini changed several scenes from the original play in his film Oedipus Rex, and intertwined the scenes with multiple Freudian theories to construct that Oedipus desired Oedipus complex. However, if Oedipus really wanted to marry his mother and murder his father, then why would he flee Thebes? Why would he blind himself if he received what he desired? An oracle told Oedipus he was fated to commit murder which caused Oedipus to flee Corinth with the intent to avoid this fate, which unfortunately backfired. Oedipus Tyrannous is a play that features a hero’s attempt to deny fate until he has no ...
