Some have even suggested that the process is so inherently fla wed that it may be impossible to perfect it. At the other extreme\, the re are many strong advocates of performance appraisal. Some view it as p otentially the most crucial aspect of organizational life (Lawrie\, 1990 ). Dr. Steve Hunt will talk about how the performance management proces s is shifting from an administrative process used to justify pay decisio ns to a forward focused tool for enabling business execution. \n\nCo mplete workshop information can be found here: http://www.techamerica.o rg/talentmanagementworkshop\n\nDetails:\nWhen: Thursday\, September 30\ , 2010\nTime: 7:30 – 11:30 a.m.\nWhere: Multnomah Athletic Club\, 18 49 SW Salmon St.\, Portland\, Ore.\nCost: $195 TechAmerica Members\, $2 25 Nonmembers (Group rates available - email kari.naone@techamerica.org for details)\n\n\nTags: talent management\, professional development\, t raining\, human resources\, hr\, human resource\n\nImported from: http:/ /calagator.org/events/1250459190 URL:http://www.techamerica.org/talentmanagementworkshop SUMMARY:TechAmerica Talent Management Workshop: Tools for the Twenty Firs t Century Workforce LOCATION:Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC): 1849 Sw Salmon St\, Portland OR 9 7205 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
