INTRODUCTION
The pulp and paper manufacturing facility located in Crofton,
BC began operations fifty years ago
as part of British Columbia Forest Products Limited (BCFP).
Now owned by Catalyst Paper
Corporation, Crofton Pulp and Paper operates as one of four
independent manufacturing divisions
within the company’s current structure. With five manufacturing
lines, Crofton produces pulp and
paper products for global customers.
Many changes have impacted the Crofton employees over the
past decade including multiple
changes in company ownership and identity. Major
organizational transformations involving
restructuring took place in 1996, 1998 and again in 2001. By the
end of fiscal 2006, the company
employed 768 union employees and 209 non-union management
staff.
The senior management team (SMT) relies heavily on the skill
20. and talent of its workforce to
manoeuvre through constant change and industry challenges. A
performance management (PM)
program exists for non-union staff employees. According to past
practice the SMT communicates
expectations to managers and employees by providing a yearly
timeline for PM related tasks and
deliverables such as completion of yearly performance
evaluations for employees. Unsure of the
state of the actual PM practices at Crofton, Vern Phillips, the
newly appointed Director of HR
requires consulting assistance to enable a well informed and
strategic decision making process for
addressing Crofton’s PM in support of the future direction of
the company.
PRESENT COMPANY SITUATION
Many changes have occurred within the organization over the
past year:
In early 2007 a financial investment group, Third Avenue
Management, purchased a large
quantity of Catalyst shares making them the company’s single
largest shareholder. Declining
market prices, fiber supply challenges and a higher Canadian
dollar have placed the
21. profitability of the business in jeopardy and company strategy
has turned to cost
improvements.
In August 2007, Crofton’s SMT announced and implemented a
new organizational structure
involving an approximate fifteen percent downsizing of the non-
union management
workforce. Some employees were terminated immediately;
others were notified of their
termination with an effective date at year end. For many
remaining employees, reporting
structures, home departments, job positions and responsibilities
as well as future
opportunities within the company have or will change.
Nov 2007 Materials and concepts used in this proposal have
been reproduced with permission of the Author and Client.
In September 2007, senior management announced changes to
employee performance
contracts, a component of the performance management
program, directly altering the
employee variable pay structure.
22. Continuous change, looming uncertainty and increasing
workloads are affecting employee morale,
motivation, and retention. With a leaner management workforce
any employee performance and
retention issues pose a significant threat to the business. As the
SMT moves forward with plans to
reestablish Crofton Pulp and Paper as a profitable, cost
effective global competitor, the HR director
is faced with the challenge of developing strategies to ensure
the organization has the people
resources it needs. The current situation highlights the
importance of assessing the existing PM
program to understand how it is being used and to ensure this
component of the HR strategy
meets the current and future needs of the business and its
employees.
Problem Definition
A preliminary SWOT analysis reveals multiple challenges
facing the company:
External Factors
Strengthening Canadian dollar adversely impacting profits
Lower cost producers entering the market, specifically in China
Increasing raw material costs, specifically oil and gas
23. Internal Factors
Financial:
Declining EBITDA
Weakening and extremely low share price; share price below
book value
Declining availability of capital for reinvestment
Marketing:
Shrinking market in North American
Customers losing confidence in products due to disruptions in
fiber supply
Customers demanding guaranteed production and sourcing
alternate suppliers
Operations:
Aging assets without sufficient reinvestment
Union labour contracts expire in April 2008
Human Resources:
Reduced workforce resulting in a loss of talent and manpower
Morale, motivation and retention issues
Lack of focus on human resources processes, specifically
performance management and
training and development.
24. Nov 2007 Materials and concepts used in this proposal have

Technology:
Increasing complexity of technology
Loss of advanced technical support due to restructure
PROJECT PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Purpose
The purpose of the proposed consulting project is to conduct a
Performance Management
Program Evaluation that provides a narrative descripti on of how

based methodology. Major project
components include: discovery based research to investigate
current practices, best practices
research, gap analysis and recommendations for improvement.

Management Program Evaluation that

plan for the future of PM at
Crofton.
Recommendations for improvement based on short and long
term needs of the business,
employees and managers and a proposed implementation plan
for recommendations where
applicable. (Short term refers to the immediate year following
the project; long term refers to
beyond the first year).
As the project progresses, depending on findings and timing,
recommendations and / or
revisions to the current PM training and communication
materials may be included.
The project does not involve:
Analysis of any PM type activity related to bargaining unit
employees who are currently
excluded from the PM program.
Implementing recommendations or any implementation plan.
Gap analysis in comparison to best-of-class research.
