This is the final stage of the diagnostic cycle which again leads to the first step. In this respect, Freshbake’s task is to see how the stages implemented above have impacted growth and profitability with the view of further adjustments for improvement. This stage is guided by identifiable performance indicators(KPIs) such as the production capacity, sales patterns, and customer feedback. In entirety, it involves the assessment of all the activities undertaken by the firm in meeting the demands of the market (Shields, 2015). Consequently, negative and positive findings give a clear picture of the progress made and the key areas which need improvement. For instance, Freshbake’s assessment considers the number of new customers served, daily sales and individual targets. This gives the management a projection of the long-term results; allowing them to execute any changes that can enhance further growth. Once this is done, the cycle reverts to the first step.

Talent management is an expensive affair whose returns are not guaranteed especially on the short-term (Cascio & Boudreau, 2016). Consequently, balancing the two aspects presents a huge dilemma, taking into account the stiff competition in the market. The fundamental question that needs to be answered is whether by investing in raw talent presents a more financially viable option than acquiring ready-made and experienced employees. On the other hand, further growth will lead to an upsurge of the workforce. Thus, the risk of going national versus the potential value (profits) are the key parameters under consideration. Accordingly, if Freshbake can mitigate the possible risks, the value is likely to increase and vice

Many corporations struggle with bringing in quality talent into business (Paradise, 2010). Consequently, as the workforce continues to change at warp speed, talent benchmarking strategy is the biggest challenge management faces now and the next five years in all forms of succession planning (Sims, 2014). A strategy to overcome talent benchmarking is having talent reviews along with meeting notes (Sims, 2014). Documenting what took place in the talent review is essential for management to get planning underway and refer to the order of what should happen first, second, and so forth in talent management (Sims, 2014).

The centralization had been initiated with a serious intention of improving profitability. Talent acquisition and workforce management constituted two-thirds of the total operational costs for the organization; thus it had the potential to become the single largest lever for increasing profitability. The new organization had to deliver on workforce optimization and provide a singular view on how talent was hired and deployed. This would provide information on how many people were available on bench, sliced along the lines of skill sets, experience levels, and geographical distribution().

Prior to any development, management should take note of what exactly they want to achieve with their performance appraisal system (goals), what properties they want their appraisal systems to possess (characteristics), how they wish to execute the performance appraisal (method), and how they will use the data collected to achieve said goals (feedback). It is also pertinent that effective performance management systems clearly communicate expectations, distribute performance information to employees, determine areas of strength as well as areas in need of development, and document performance for personnel records.

I will discuss in detail the intent of a performance evaluation, the process an organization should follow in using its performance evaluation tool, along with the characteristics of an effective
Performance appraisal is the examination of an employee's work performance and the comparison of it with predetermined standards. This is then usually followed up by feedback from the employee. This form of performance measurement is quite efficient, as it motivates employees to perform at a higher level and improve their future performance. There are several different forms of performance appraisal, such as ratings scales and 360-degree feedback, which both include feedback to the employee as well as evaluations of the employee’s performance. Although this is one of the major ways to measure employee performance, it is not the only way.
Firstly, Chuai, Preece & Iles, (2008) tried to explore the unique characteristics of Talent Management (TM) and the need for its adoption by big companies.
