Step 1
The organization that I have selected is the Presbyterian Hospital. It is affiliated to two Ivy League medical schools. It is an important international referral center and so the performance of employees in Presbyterian Hospital should be of a very high standard. The integration of job performance and training is critical for maintaining the high standards of the hospital.

The integration will begin with the performance evaluation of employees. There will be different performance indicators in different areas of service. For instance, performance indicators in emergency medicine will be different from the performance standards of respiratory care services. For each employee, the supervisor should report the indicator(s) in which the employee obtains the lowest scores. In addition, the supervisor should indicate those performance indicators where he feels that additional training should be provided. Consider the example of a patient care technician. If the technician gets the lowest indicator rating in performing electrocardiograms, the supervisor may indicate that the technician requires training in that area.

At Presbyterian Hospital there are programs for providing training in all areas. For example, technicians can be provided with training consisting of lectures, practical exercises in the medical laboratory and with real world experience with the trainer.

When such areas are indicated in the annual performance evaluation form of an employee, the HR will collect and collate information about different employees requiring training. The HR will within three month's time provide the required training to the employee (Pulakos. D, 2009).

Step 2
The most significant performance management challenge the organization has faced is that the jobs of each employee is different and a standard performance management system does not equitably judge the performance of every employee. First, let us consider the broad view at Presbyterian Hospital. The level of performance required in patient care services is different from the level of services required in nursing ...
