Title: Comparing performance management systems Authors: Naudi, Louis Abstract: This paper describes some of the salient performance management systems practised in two medium sized organisations in Malta. The emphasis shall be on HR practice and there shall be an attempt to discuss the systems in terms of differences and possible similarities. The analysis and ensuing discussion are based on the author's experience and observations made whilst working within the Human Resources Departments of both organisations. The comments made during these comparisons shall be seen in the light of local context and culture, as observed by a Maltese HR practitioner. Description: My thanks to Mr. Winston J. Zahra, Director of Operations, Sales & Marketing, Island Hotels Group; Mr. Sergio Vella, Director of Manufacturing, and Mr. Kenneth Formosa, HR Manager, both at Baxter Malta Ltd.; and Dr. Johnny Sung, Centre for Labour Market Studies, University of Leicester, U.K.

Title: Global corporate culture meets local culture & practice - HSBC in Malta Authors: Davies, Christine Abstract: With 90 million customers of 9,500 offices in 80 countries and territories, and employing 215,000 people worldwide, the overall HSBC Group culture has to be underpinned by an understanding of local culture, local people and local requirements - hence the Group tag line: the World's Local Bank. The HSBC Group, both at HQ in London and here in Malta, recognises that there is a balance to be achieved and great value to be gained from understanding and responding to local cultures, both as an employer and as a business.

Title: Training & development for the socially excluded Authors: Cutajar, Joe Abstract: This paper focuses on the issue of social exclusion from employment and how education, training and human resource development generally can help to equip the socially excluded with the knowledge and skills required in order for them to find and retain gainful employment. It starts off by defining the various categories of socially exclusion and highlighting the various measures that have been adopted by the Employment & Training Corporation (ETC) - the local public employment service - particularly in order to re-integrate Malta's 7,000-odd registered unemployed within the labour market.
