Goldman Sachs
← E-business Model | Small Versus Big Business → |
Goldman Sachs’ culture can be defined as a blend of both bureaucratic culture and clan culture. Within a clan culture, Goldman has been able to accurately mould greed, paranoia and ambition into genuine teamwork. Despite this, Goldman Sachs’ culture remains to be bureaucratic in terms of hierarchical coordination, authority and status that are put in place to monitor behavior. To ensure that employees are competent enough to meet the company’s needs, Goldman Sachs applies a 360 performance review system. In this review process peers, subordinates, and supervisors give feedback about an employee’s performance. It also encompasses self-assessment and in some instances, feedback from customers and relevant stakeholders is taken into consideration.
360-degrees review process allows employs in Goldman Sachs to receive from their supervisors and from four to eight peers, coworkers, customers and reporting staff members. This process allows each employ to respond to it without one feeling discriminated or left out. According to Lloyd C. Blankfein Chief Executive Officer Goldman Sachs, the process allows each employee to understand how his effectiveness is viewed by others. It also provides insights about behaviors and skills. Lloyd asserts that this review is not carried out to humiliate employee but to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses so that they can bridge them to effectively work toward achieving the company’s visions, goals and missions. It also enhances professional development to come out with employees who are competent enough.
Goldman Sachs also uses the 360 performance review process as a tool for performance appraisal. This involves categorizing its employees into levels based on their annual performance. The category that is presumed to be performing worst is consequently fired while the best performing group is normally recognized and rewarded to keep motivating it. However, there have been complains from Goldman Sachs employees as to the use of this review system as a tool for performance appraisal with some saying that it culminates into grotesque bonus grabbing.
Goldman Sachs is currently applies selective recruitment for new employees. Their interview processes are lengthy and seem to scrutinize the job seeker’s competency. This has helped the company determine the appropriate competent workers. According to its Human Resource department they, they look for all refunded resumes which indicate the job seeker’s strong educational background, her innovativeness and how active he is in extra curriculum activities. The department also asserts that during the interview process they look out for employees who display maturity, excellent communication skills and are able to take charge of their attitudes. These employees must also be team players. Full time employment positions in Goldman Sachs are offered a year in advance and the company assigns buddies to each graduate who accepts to take the position. This buddy acts as a bridge between the company and the new employee and he is always available to answer questions. New hires are also invited to Goldman Sachs offices on a parent’s day to meet senior management and alumni.
Goldman Sachs also hires outsourcing firms to help it in its recruitment process. They normally carry out this through selective Precision Recruitment Outsourcing. These agencies apply a front end process which involves candidate research, internet sourcing, direct sourcing and candidate screening. In the recruitment process if such agencies, talent fusion is also pivotal. This helps in creation of a fluid program that directs large numbers of sourced and prescreened candidates into the Goldman Sachs’ hiring process. Goldman Sachs also finds it employees through internal and external job databases and employee referrals.

The customer service center was the picture of perfection, too. I loved everything about using EssaysEmpire.com and plan to use your services again. You are one class act! |

Thanks goes out to the writer who filled my order. He did everything right the first time around. I had to ask for one tiny revision, but that was my own fault for leaving it out of the directions. |

There are four things that I look for in a good writing service. #1. They have to be fast. A good writing service won’t miss an important deadline. #2. A good writing service will let customers actually talk to the writer who is working on their customer’s papers, so the customer can work out important details. #3. A good writing service will have a user-friendly website that is easy for the customer to use and #4, a good writing service will offer quality guarantees. EssaysEmpire.com meets all of this criteria and more. EssaysEmpire.com is the best writing service and has the reputation to prove it. I wouldn’t even consider using another writing service since experiencing the excellence that is EssaysEmpire.com! |

You guys are fabulous to offer such amazing guarantees for your work. I hired you for my last two papers because there was no risk involved. That was a pretty attractive option, if you ask me. Of course, I didn’t have to cash in on any kind of guarantee, because the work was perfect! Go figure. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com. |

One of the things that I appreciate most about EssaysEmpire.com, is that they don’t resell your paper. Only you own it, if you hire them to write something. Other writing services that I have used, just circulate the same paper over and over, and if you get caught turning one in, too bad. You are expelled. EssaysEmpire.com will even give you a plagiarism report after they run it through their anti-plagiarism check. Such details set EssaysEmpire.com above the rest. |

Writer #48376 was very easy to work with. My professor made some changes to his requirements after he had assigned the paper. All I had to do was call your customer service and request to speak with the writer directly. Was able to relay the changes that my professor wanted, and he (writer #48376) accommodated them with no problem. I thought that was great. No headaches and perfect work. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! |

To the writers at EssaysEmpire.com: Next week, I will be graduating with a degree in clinical psychology. Over the course of my college years, I have had to turn to you for help many times. Each and every time, you produced some of the highest quality writing my professors had ever seen. Because of you, I was able to keep a high grade point average and get into an excellent grad school. There are simply no words adequate enough to fully express my appreciation, so I’ll simply say, “thank you” and let it go at that. Please know that you are appreciated. |

The paper that your writers did for me on the topic of, The Psychological Effects of Fluorescent Lighting in the Workplace,” was right on the money! They included my long list of customizations and did not charge extra for them. The formatting was just right. There were no grammatical errors. The length was what it was supposed to be. I am so happy that I chose to let the EssaysEmpire.com writers take care of my paper for me. I will choose this writing service again without hesitation. |
