During my stay at HQ for the In-Nation Service Employee (ISE) High Potential Individual Pool(HIPO)HQ Job Assignment/OJT Program, I was deeply impressed by the work our colleaguesfrom HQ HR Team had put into preparing this program. My initial concern was the possible
language barrier but fortunately, I didnt have any problems thanks to the language fluency of thewell-trained HQ staff and outstanding interpretations, which are great examples of LGElectronics capacity as a global corporation. The training was a great opportunity to networkwith High Potentials from across the world and to have direct communication with thecompa nys leadership.

performance appraisal of employees
Since organizations exist to achieve goals, the degree of success that individual employees havein reaching their individual goals is important in determining organizational effectiveness. Theassessment of how successful employees have been at meeting their individual goals, therefore,
becomes a critical part of HRM. This leads us to the topic of performance appraisal. Peoplediffer in their abilities and aptitudes. These differences are natural to a great extent and cannot be
eliminated even by giving the same basic education and training to them. There will be somedifferences in the quality and quantity of work done by different employees even on the same
job. Therefore, it is necessary for management to know these differences so that the employeeshaving better abilities may be rewarded and the wrong placements of employees may be rectifiedthrough transfers. The individual employee may also like to know the level of his performance incomparison to his fellow employees so that he may improve on it. Thus, there is a great need tohave suitable performance appraisal system to measure the relative merit of each employee.
Performance Appraisal is an integral part of Human Resource Management. And HRM deals
with personnel i.e. people. people is the most important and valuable resource that everyorganization or institution has in the form of its employees. Dynamic people can build dynamicorganization. Effective employees can contribute to the effective of the organization.
HRM has multiple goals, which includes employees competency development, employeesmotivation development and organizational development. Employees require a variety ofcompetencies, knowledge, attitude skills in technical areas, managerial areas, behavioral and

human relations areas and conceptual areas to perform different tasks or functions required bytheir jobs.
HRM aim at constantly assessing the competency requirements of different individuals to
perform the jobs assigned to them, effectively and provide opportunities for developing thesecompetencies. As HRM deals with humans it is necessary to keep a check on their performanceafter a regular interval of time given jobs, it is necessary to corrective actions them or there isneed to appraisal their performance. The process appraising for doing their work effectively is than known as performance appraisal system. The system is defined clearly in this report.
The objectives of the project are:
1) The main objectives of the study are the throw the light on the different policies/ techniques ofthe performances Appraisal system of the LG Company.
2) To show the implementation of the appraisal methods used to get the information about the performance.

ENERGY & CLIMATE CHANGE
Voluntary initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases and address climate change are helping to shapeLG Electronics into a greencompany. As a company with 36 production facilities around theworld, we are guided by an environmentally-friendly vision andstrategies befitting a globalenterprise. We set up a greenhouse gas inventory starting with our plant in Cheongju to monitorour emission levels. Moreover, we are enhancing production processes and developingtechnologies to curb greenhouse gas emissions.Life cycle assessments are undertaken to assessemissions throughout a products life cycle. After broadly classifying emissions intothe
production and usage stages, we found that more than 80% is attributed to product usage. We
recognize that raising energyefficiency of electronic products could be the most effective way to provide economic benefits to consumers while curbing globalwarming. Regions such as the EUare tightening regulations on energy efficiency and standby power. Keeping in step withsuchregulatory trends, LG Electronics is continuing with R&D to acquire the highest grades ofenergy efficiency for its products.

FACTOR AFFECTING HRM
Most employed people seriously consider a transfer at least once during their career. The newenvironment they encounter when embarking upon a career straight after graduation from collegemay not be compatible with the ideal they have imagined. In addition, work that is repetitive, and
the working habits they acquire while building up a career are also factors that must be taken intoaccount when co nsidering a transfer. Notably, in todays competitive society, employees areoften tempted in considering transfer after receiving an offer from a scout promising highersalaries that are commensurate with their merit and capacities. According to data released byStatistics Korea recently, the period that workers in the youngest group (aged 15 29) spendwith their first employer amounted to one year and seven months, with 28.5 percent of them,which is quite high, quitting after six months or less. The te rm lifetime employment soundsrather anachronistic nowadays.
Despite the recent global economic recession, the demand for IT professionals reportedly
remains high. However, the IT industry always posts a higher turnover rate than other industries.For instance, more than 10 percent of employees at Facebook, an SNS provider that has seenrobust growth in the past two to three years, were former staff of Google. Many othercompetitors are reportedly racing to scout employees from Google, dubbed the hub o f corehuman resources in IT. Amid this situation, Google is scrambling to prevent its core humanresources from leaving. For instance, Google reportedly increased the salary of all staff by 10
percent, and paid them an extra bonus of $1,000. The situation in Korea seems to be no different

from that in the U.S. According to the employment trend of SW industry manpower releasedrecently by the Korea Information Society Development Institute, demand for human resourcesin the SW sector and for IT manpower in advanced countries was rising in 2012. Due to globalcompanies HR practice of focusing on employees capabilities, some core IT human resources
in Korea are also moving overseas, including Silicon Valley in the U.S.
