CAREER DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUMMARY

CAREER DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUMMARY

In the light of recent restructuring of Kudler Fine Foods, I have identified some key job positions that will be required to meet the ambitious company's objectives. In this memo I would like to describe the job positions, plans for training of new and current employees, appraisal program, incentive and benefits program, career development management, and a fair compensation plan. All the above must be implemented as a close knitted system to develop a high performing team that will eventually create optimum profitability for the Kudler Fine Foods. In regard to developing such a system, Cascio (2005) stated, “the evidence indicates that such practices are usually associated with increases in productivity (defined as output per worker), as well as with a firm’s long-term financial performance. However, these effects are most pronounced when such work practices are implemented together as a system” (p. 41).
