Explore ways to communicate urgency and priority to mailroom specialists to reinforce their accountability for correct processing of packages.

It is important for organizations to consider not only the advantages of a well-designed performance management program, but also the issues that can arise if details are overlooked. Not only can poorly designed programs be an ineffective use of everyone’s time, but without having clear objectives set, they can also result in high costs to the organization. Having unclear or unachievable objectives can result in a decrease in employee morale, motivation, or performance, and even a decrease in organizational performance. It can also negatively impact relationships between the employees and their direct supervisors, as well as with the organizations. To prepare for this Assignment, you will examine the “Forever U.
