PRESS RELEASE
Announcing the 2014 National Academy of Human Resources
Ram Charan HR Essay Contest
Thursday, February 27, 2014– The National Academy of Human Resources (NAHR) announces
the 2014 NAHR Ram Charan HR Essay Contest. We are requesting essays from university
undergrads and graduate students globally majoring in Human Resources, Industrial/Labor
Relations or related fields for the following topic:
Performance Management – A Very Real Issue for Employers and Employees
You’ve arrived at your office a little early, and have decided to take the opportunity
to have a cup of coffee and scan the headlines. As you’re scanning one paper, you
are drawn to the headline “Vast Majority of Employees See No Benefit in
Performance Management”. The article goes on to say that a new survey shows that
employees either get no benefit from the performance management process (are
neutral) or are demotivated by the process (are negative). Those who are rated as
“high performers” and are rewarded accordingly feel positive about the process, but
those that are rated as anything considered “average” or below are demotivated.
You’re the head of HR at your company, so your first thought is “I know a lot of our
employees feel the same way – based on our own survey results”. As you shake your
head, you look up to see the CEO of your company, standing at your door, waving a
copy of this very same article.
“I knew it! This is why I’m frustrated by our performance management system. It
takes up WAY too much time of too many people, people always challenge their
reviews so we spend an inordinate about of time defending the decisions, there’s too
much process, not enough value add in terms of coaching, skill development and
career growth, and I feel like all we’re doing is providing documentation for
attorneys. People I was told were great performers by their last manager are suddenly
UNDERPERFORMING under a new manager, and problem employees are suddenly
STRONG PERFORMERS. How can that be? And the entire process seems to focus
on the ratings. I want to know how we can turn a process that is overly
administrative and negative into something that helps our employees contribute to the
growth and success of our business. I want the focus to be on enabling our
employees to help me build this company and improve our results!”
“So here’s what I want you to do: I want you to come up with a new way to measure
and improve our employee’s performance that’s efficient, effective, and will be
embraced by the employees because they view it as a fair system that’s helpful to
them in their career. And whatever you come up with – I want to be able to measure

just how effective it is. How will I know it’s contributing to the success of our
company? How will I know we are rewarding the right people?”
Your challenge: Please write a 5 to 20 page essay describing what you would propose to
your CEO, why you are making this proposal, and how you would measure the
effectiveness of the approach.
