While being incorporated into the Finmeccanica Group, Telespazio has been aligning its staff policies and practices to those of the parent company. The test for the HR team would be to cultivate an organizational and strategic modification that may turn a national telecommunications firm into a leading global company in satellite alternatives and services. The case targets the plan and implementation of a new performance appraisal system.
It starts out with the establishment of a task force to generate a brand new assessment system from scratch. Then, the case gives a scrupulous description of the performance appraisal application (What's evaluated? Who is in charge? What steps are involved?) and describes the primary levers adopted to go from a simple evaluation perspective towards a more multifaceted strategy. The case also clarifies how the system supports the business 's shift towards a job-based organization. When, after six years from the first implementation, the HR team meets to evaluate the results attained, the very first portion of the case ends in 2011. The important revisions introduced to the software are illustrated by the 2nd section of the case and brings a brand new challenge for the HR team: expanding the execution by the end of 2014 to all of Telespazio's foreign subsidiary companies.
