The first answer defends the policy, stating that TechTarget hires autonomous employees who can work without strict structure. The policy succeeds because it gives employees freedom to do their work according to their own schedule.

QUESTION 1:
What is your reaction to this “no attendance” plan implemented at TechTarget? Do
you believe it’s too simplistic? Defend your position.

ANSWER:
The plan appear to work for Tech-Target if you consider the revenue growth.
Freedom and autonomy are clearly part of the organizaations culture. HRM activities
appear to support this approach to management. For example, according to the article
the company hires people who function well without structure and take
responsibility for their deliverables. Employee relations specialists in HR help
the organization achieve high performance, morale and satisfaction levels
throughout the workforce, by creating ways to strengthen the employer-employee
relationship.
From my point of view, I think that no attendance system is an incredible idea that
was implemented by TechTarget. Because when employees have freedom to do their
job according to them they will do it from their deepest of heart .If your employees
are talented they will do their job according to the requirement. No, the idea was not
simplistic because there are several factors that can play a vital role behind this. For
example, if the idea fails then company will suffer for that. There was much
possibility that employees take advantage of this and do not do their job properly.

QUESTION 2:
Do you believe that such an employee policy as described in the case can succeed in
other companies? Why or why not?
ANSWER:
Autonomy is part of the culture at TechTarget. Some organizations have cultures
more focused on direction and high involvement with managers. The high-tech
industry is also widely-known for its creative, less structured environments. This
approach might work in other organizations, but not all organizations. For some
companies, attendance at a certain time is crucial because customers expect
employees to be available. Yes, this policy can be succeed in other companies.
TechTarget is giving freedom to their employees to do their job according to their
own timing and way. Apart from that they are giving target that must be
accomplished within a time limit by all employees. That’s why employees will be
motivated as well guided for their job.

QUESTION 3:
What special HRM conditions must exist for such a plan on work? Explain. How do
you believe these conditions relate to employee motivation?
ANSWER:
Working within budget restraints, human resource managers strive to attract top
talent and retain experienced staff members. Rolling out incentives based on
performance is one way human resource administrators achieve their goals and
keep the organization successful in all areas.
To begin the process, you and the employee will collaborate on the development of
performance standards. You will develop a performance plan that directs the
employee's efforts toward achieving specific results, to support organizational
growth as well as the employee's professional growth. Discuss goals and objectives
throughout the year, providing a framework to ensure employees achieve results
through coaching and mutual feedback. At the end of the rating period, you will
appraise the employee's performance against existing standards, and establish new
goals together for the next rating period.
