MAIN BODY
Assessment of management practices using range of performance review techniques
Management practices are defined as working methods and process which are used by
business firms to improve productivity of employees and ensure optimum utilization of work
systems (Taha and et. al., 2020). In case of Hibox management practices play an important role
in success of the company. Some of the management techniques used at the company are
adoption of new technology, training and developing employees and ensuring open and honest
communication with employees. Some of the common performance review techniques are used
below to asses management techniques:
360 degree feedback: This performance review technique involves taking a
comprehensive look at the performance of an employee by taking feedback from all outside
sources. The outside sources included in this performance review technique includes employees,
their managers, their peers, direct reports and non-direct peers. The advantage of this
performance review technique is that it provides complete perspective on the performance while
the disadvantage s that it is time taking technique. Hibox will be able to gain complete
perspective on various working practices by utilizing this technique.
Self Evaluation: In this performance review technique the performance of an individual
technique is measured through self evaluation (Dewald and et. al., 2019). The individuals needs
to appraise their own performance on the basis of of their current outcomes and future goals.
This type of performance review technique involves conducting a through discussion about what
aspects of employee performer will be considered in self-evaluation processes. The primary
advantage of this performance review technique is that it helps understand gap between how
employees judge their own performance and high ranking supervisors judge their performance.

This helps the company understand the reason behind low employee performance and the
confidence of different employees on their performance. The main disadvantage of this
performance review technique is that it can be highly subjective (Harish and et. al., 2019). Self
evaluation by employees can be either two high and two low and will not provide unbiased view
of the employee performance which can be used for further improvement. Hibox can utilize this
performance review technique so that differences between employee opinion of their
performance and opinion of others can be understood. Thais will help the company eliminate
differences between management and employee opinions and help in development of employees.
Recommendation of management alternatives including implementation plan
The performance review technique which is recommended for Hibox is 360 degree
feedback. The primary reason behind this is that it will help the company gain complete
understanding of employee performance and provide unbiased view of employee performance
