Employee Assessment MGT/311 February 21, 2012 Employee Assessment It is important to evaluate employee’s characteristics and behaviors; whether they are new to the company or tenure employees.

INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC NEEDS THAT HAVE TO BE SATISFIED AT WORK Managers are continually challenged to inspire and motivate their workforce to complete the tasks set out and to help the organization achieve its goals. Therefore, they need to think about how they are going to promote or instil in the staff the desire, effort, and passion to complete a task with enthusiasm.
