Question

Most wage and salary administrators contend that project management must be “married” to the personnel evaluation process because personnel are always concerned with how they will be evaluated. Furthermore, converting from a traditional structure to a project management structure cannot be accomplished without first considering performance evaluation. What are your feelings on this?

Answer 1

In my opinion, it is important that project management must consider the personnel evaluation process because project management is instructed to provide a report on every employee's performance and give that report to the respective department manager without revealing the evaluated criterias to the employees. And then the manager provide final evaluation to the employees based on the project manager's reporting. This will impact their compensation and benefits. So, the wage and salary administration contends that project management must be married to personnel evaluation.

Converting from a traditional structure to a project management structure requires effective management, strong teams and aligned goals. Then comes the performance evaluation. A team or employees can be evaluated based on their performances therefore, it is necessary to first transform the structure and then formulate performance evaluation based on the required criterias governing the tasks to be performed on the project.
