Critical Thinking Assignment (95 Points) Managing a Remote Workforce Pretend that you are the Director of HR for a large organization that employs a hybrid workforce. Specifically, some individuals work remotely, some individuals work onsite, and some individuals work both remotely and onsite. In January 2020, it was brought to your attention that many of the remote workers did not feel engaged in the workplace. Specifically, these employees cited that despite being with the company since the prior year, they had not had their performance assessed on any level. Furthermore, these employees expressed that they did not have any check-ins with their supervisor, on a one-on-one level, with the exception of once per year. As the Director of HR, you recognize that things must change. Therefore, you have been asked to create a paper highlighting the critical importance of performance management for virtual workers. Within your paper, you have been asked to cover the following: Provide a brief overview detailing what performance management is and why it is important to individual, group, and organizational success. Identify two tips and techniques that remote managers can utilize to check-in with their employees and assess the performance of their employees. Provide statistics about the importance of frequent check-ins, specifically detailing how these check-ins and performance management processes can improve employee morale. Note: Your paper should be 4-5 pages in length and conform to APA guidelines in the CSU Global Writing Center. Include at least four scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.
