HR Fundamentals (Corey)

• HR (Human Resource) function- Window through which to observe a business.

Approach: “Tell us about your business”

• Translate external issues into internal actions.

• HR is not the business, HR supports the business (creates value).

• HR professionals need to understand the business.

HR Stage 1- Administrative duties (Employee Compensation, Attendance, Pension/Retirement, Employee Recruitment)

HR Stage 2- Sourcing, Rewards, Training, Communication

HR Stage 3- Integration (Simultaneously work with different functions such as Finance, Marketing, Operations). Heightened Individual Attention (Work Place Environment, Personality Screening-Myers Briggs)

HR Stage 4- Realize External Business Conditions “HR from the outside in”

HR working from the outside, in (Corey) • Employee Placement/ Promotion- Based on customer expectations

“employees our customers want to work with”

• Training from the outside- customers, suppliers, investors, regulators help design training programs

• Rewards from the outside- customers (determine best performing employees) & investors

• Performance Review- customers & investors asses performance standards

• Communication from the outside- Employee messages shared with customers & investors

• Culture from the outside- identity of business from customer’s perspective

Macro-environment that affects HR (Corey)

• Society (changing LGBT policies)

• Technology (Electric Vehicles, Solar power)

• Economies (U.S. Housing Bubble)

• Politics (Arab Spring 2011)

• Environment (Hurricane Katrina-Damage businesses, affect business suppliers)

• Demographics (China’s one Child Policy-population control)

Business Stakeholders (Corey) • Definition: Those that have an interest or concern in a business.

• HR Function: Create and deliver expectations to each stakeholder

Stages of Development

  • Characteristics of a business – such as its growth rate, product lines, market share, entry opportunity, and technology – change with the organization’s stage of development

Development stages of an Organization

Management Selection Strategy

Embryonic

High-Growth

Mature

Aging

Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs for growth, but growth director to build stable management system

Bureaucrats who are comfortable with repetition, and who can develop economics scale

Entrepreneurs who will cut, reorganize, survive

*

The Link Between Development Stages
& Staffing Strategies

1) Embryonic Stage (new organizations)

  • High growth rates, basic product lines, heavy emphasis on product engineering, and little or no customer loyalty
  • Management selection strategy:
  • Entrepreneurs who thrive in high-risk environments

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Link Between Development Stages
& Staffing Strategies

2) High-Growth Stage

  • Refine and extend product lines; build customer loyalty
  • Concerns: fighting for market share and building excellence in the management team
  • Management selection strategy
  • Entrepreneurs for growth
  • Growth directors to build stable management systems

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Link Between Development Stages
& Staffing Strategies

3) Mature

  • Maintenance of market share, cost reductions through economies of scale.
  • Less flexibility and variability
  • Management selection strategy
  • Bureaucrats who are comfortable with repetition and can develop economies of scale

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Link Between Development Stages
& Staffing Strategies

4) Aging

Struggle to hold market share in a declining market, and extreme cost control obtained through consistency and centralized procedures; economic survival becomes the primary motivation

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Organizational Culture

Organizational culture is embedded and transmitted through mechanisms such as the following:

Formal statements of organizational philosophy.

Promotion criteria.

Stories, legends, and myths about key people and events.

What leaders pay attention to, measure, and control.

Implicit, and possibly unconscious, criteria that leaders use to determine who fits key slots.

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Implications of Organizational
Culture for Staffing Decisions

Cultures vary across organizations; individuals will consider this information if it is available to them in their job-search process

  • Recruiters assess person-job fit by focusing on specific knowledge, skills, and abilities.
  • Linking staffing decisions to cultural factors may ensure employees have internalized the strategic intent and core values of the enterprise.

Individuals who choose jobs and organizations that are consistent with their own values, beliefs, and attitudes are more likely to be productive, satisfied employees

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Screening & Selection Methods:
Employment Application Forms

  • Statistics show a relationship between applicant responses to specific questions and later measures of job performance; these weighted application blanks (WABs) are highly predictive
  • High rate of accuracy for determining those who will stay on the job longer
  • Research has found that items “conventional wisdom” might suggest, or those used by interviewers, did not predict employee turnover accurately

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Screening & Selection Methods:
Recommendations

  • Evidence shows, unfortunately, that there is little candor, and therefore, little value, in written recommendations and referrals, especially those that must, by law, be revealed to applicants if they petition to see them
  • Meaningful recommendations include four major characteristics:
  • Degree of writer familiarity with the candidate
  • Degree of writer familiarity with the job in question
  • Specific examples of performance
  • Individuals or groups to whom the candidate is compared

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Screening & Selection Methods:
Reference Checks

  • Request job-related information only
  • Obtain written permission from the job candidate
  • Stay away from subjective areas
  • When possible, use public records to evaluate on-the-job behavior or personal conduct

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Improving Pre-Employment Interviews

  • Six ideas to shape interviewer behavior non-biased hiring:
  • Focus only on the competencies necessary for the job, and distinguish between entry-level and full-performance competencies
  • Screen resumes and application forms by focusing on three elements:
  • Key words that match job requirements
  • Quantifiers and qualifiers that show whether applicants have these requirements
  • Skills that might transfer from previous jobs to the new job
  • Develop interview questions that are strictly based on job analysis results; use open-ended questions; and use questions relevant to the individual’s ability to perform, motivation to do a good job, and overall “fit” with the firm

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Improving Pre-Employment Interviews

  • Six ideas to shape interviewer behavior non-biased hiring (continued)
  • Consider asking “What would you do if...?” questions
  • Conduct the interview in a relaxed physical setting
  • Develop a form containing a list of competencies weighted for overall importance to the job, and evaluate each applicant relative to each competency

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Work-Sample Tests & Staffing Decisions

  • Work-sample tests, or situational tests, are standardized measures of behavior whose primary objective is to assess the ability to do rather than the ability to know
  • Difficult to fake since they are miniature replicas of actual job requirements
  • Unlikely to lead to charges of discrimination or invasion of privacy
  • Produce smaller minority/non-minority group differences in performance, along with modest losses in predictive validity; however, since the content of the test reflects the essential content of the job, the tests demonstrate content-oriented evidence of validity
  • Not cost-effective when large numbers of people must be evaluated

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Most Popular Situational Tests

  • Leaderless Group Discussion
  • A group of participants is given a job-related topic and is asked simply to carry on a discussion about it for a period of time
  • No one is appointed leader; no one is told where to sit
  • Observers rate the performance of each participant according to preset characteristics
  • Accurately forecasts managerial performance in virtually all the functional areas of business

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Most Popular Situational Tests

  • In-Basket Test
  • A situational test designed to simulate important aspects of a position, the “in-basket” tests an individual’s ability to work independently
  • The job candidate does not say what he would do; he/she performs the tasks as though he/she were actually on the job
  • Scores are determined by describing or evaluating what the candidate did in terms of such dimensions as self-confidence, organizational and planning abilities, written communications, decision making, risk taking, and administrative abilities
  • Major advantages
  • Flexibility to fit many types of situations and modes of administration
  • Permits direct observation of individual behavior within the context of job-relevant, standardized problem situations

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Most Popular Situational Tests

  • Business Game
  • A living case in which candidates play themselves, not an assigned role, and are evaluated within a group
  • Major advantages
  • Flexibility to fit many different types of situations
  • Compressed time – events that might not actually occur for months or years are made to occur in a matter of hours
  • Interesting because of their realism, their competitive nature, and the immediacy and objectivity of their feedback
  • Increased understanding of complex interrelationships among organizational units

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Most Popular Situational Tests

  • Business Game (continued)
  • Drawbacks
  • In the context of training, some participants may become so engrossed in “beating the system” that they fail to grasp the underlying management principles being taught
  • Creative approaches to solving problems presented by the game may be stifled

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Assessment Center

  • A method that evaluates a candidate’s potential for management based on three sources:
  • Multiple assessment techniques
  • Standardized methods of making inferences from such techniques, because assessors are trained to distinguish between effective and ineffective behaviors by the candidates
  • Pooled judgments from multiple assessors to rate each candidate’s behavior

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Advantages in the
Use of Assessment Centers

  • May be used in a wide variety of settings and for a variety of purposes
  • May be tailored to the characteristics of a specific job
  • In addition to evaluating and selecting managers, the method may be used for other purposes
  • Train and upgrade management skills
  • Encourage creativity among research and engineering professionals
  • Resolve interpersonal and interdepartmental conflicts
  • Assist individuals in career planning
  • Train managers in performance appraisal
  • Provide information for workforce planning and organization design
  • Cost-effective

*

Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Potential Problems with the
Use of Assessment Centers

  • Adoption of the assessment center method without analyzing the need for it and without adequate preparation to use it wisely
  • Blind acceptance of assessment data without considering other information on candidates, such as past and current performance
  • The tendency to rate only general “exercise effectiveness,” rather than performance relative to individual behavioral dimensions, as the number of dimensions exceeds the ability of assessors to evaluate each dimension individually
  • Lack of control over the information generated during assessment.
  • Failure to evaluate the utility of the program in terms of dollar benefits relative to costs
  • Inadequate feedback to participants

Key Topics

Introduction: The role of HR professionals

What should HR departments focus on to improve business performance?

Who should the HR department deliver value to?

What should an HR department focus on?

How do you build an effective HR department?

How do you provide “good HR analytics”?

How can a HR department be a better role model?

How do you finalize HR department organization?

Conclusion: The making of a worthwhile HR department

By Abdulla & Khalid

Introduction: The Role of HR Professionals

In order to have a functioning HR department, the professionals working within it must be especially competent and have a certain level of understanding with business ethics (as discussed in Chapter 9).

HR professionals must have the ability to work strongly as a team as well as individually.

Chapter 10 describes in further detail what specific skills are needed—by the business, not the individual alone--to build a successful and functioning HR department (Ulrich et al. 227).

By Abdulla

What should HR departments focus on to improve business performance?

“High degree of autonomy” can increase opportunities, challenges, and group collaborations; authority should only be implemented when absolutely necessary

-Example: Prudential PLC (227-228)

No “one-size-fits-all” approach (228)

Divide staff work when doing group projects

“Service delivery”-helps departments to better anticipate change & account for global diversity

-Example: Accenture (228-229)

By Khalid

Who should the HR department deliver value to?

External Stakeholders:

Employees

Customers

Line Managers

Investors

Partners

Communities & Regulators

*Each stakeholder provides a different essential value to the company that helps to “shape the way HR works” (as shown in Figure 1.1, 231).

By Abdulla

What should an HR department focus on?

Accountability of managers and employees

Roles and responsibilities of individual HR groups

Business strategy

Training/development

External stakeholder activities and expectations

Overall impact

(233-237).

By Khalid

How do you build an effective HR department?

1. Create a HR business plan

Define content-stakeholders, business strategy, potential challenges

Articulate vision-set goals, who you are, what you want to accomplish, what you do

Specify outcomes-measurable, specific goals to reach

Make HR investments-analysis of “cost-benefit”, how you can reach outcomes

Create HR structure-divide work and responsibilities

Prepare action plan-more detail of structure, with deadlines, etc.

Ensure HR competencies-how to improve, current state of outcomes

By Abdulla

How do you finalize HR department organization?

1. Define organization design choices

Design choices: Centralized, Decentralized, Matrix, Outsourced

Different roles within each: service centers, centers of expertise, embedded, corporate, & outsourced.

2. Align HR with Business

Match HR structure with business structure; choose appropriate structure for your organization & their mission/goals

3. Clarify Responsibilities for each HR role

Create “engagement contract”-how HR roles will collaborate

By Khalid

How do you provide “good HR analytics”?

Use qualitative & quantitative data

“HR metrics”-shift from measuring activities to outcomes

It is essential for businesses and HR departments to be clear in their intent and outcomes for analytics to be effective

(246).

By Abdulla

How can a HR department be a better role model?

Avoid being a hypocrite-don’t break your own rules

6 competence domains:

Strategic positioner-emphasis on stakeholder connections

Credible activist-relationship building between staff, group collaboration

Capability builder-community/work environment

Change champion-improvements, implementing change

HR innovator and integrator-how new ideas complement old

Technology proponent-application of technology, research, information

(237-245).

By Khalid

Conclusion: The making of a worthwhile HR department

The making of a HR department is essential because it is more powerful together than one individual HR professional.

A special emphasis should be placed on the business structure and design because this will set the tone for the entire department and determine its ability to collaborate within the business.

Another essential part of creating a “worthwhile” HR department is ensuring that all of the roles know their specific objectives and how they work together to achieve them.

Value and focus should be placed on external stakeholders and their needs.

If this is accomplished, a successful HR department can be built.

By Abdulla

Question & Answer

1. What kind of value do communities and regulators bring to HR development?

-Reputational value; social responsibility, regulatory oversight,& cultural awareness (231).

2. What are the different types of external stakeholders?

-Line mangers, employees, partners, communities & regulators, investors, & customers (231).

3. What are some of the main focal points of an HR department?

-Interacting effectively, setting clear roles/responsibilities, structure organization, business strategy, collaboration, accountability, connecting with stakeholder expectations (234).

4. According to the text, what is the purpose of an HR department?

-To create a “workplace, not just a workforce.” HR departments, and not just individual employees, can help to build a more cohesive, understanding environment (236).

By Khalid

Question & Answer

5. What are the “four priorities for creating an effective HR department”?

-Create a business plan; finalize department organization; provide good HR analytics; be a role model (237).

6. What are the main differences between a centralized and decentralized organization design?

-Centralized is generally used for a “strong corporate office”; it has standardized rules, is very tightly organized with lots of corporate oversight. Decentralized is more loosely based, used for independent businesses. It can be customized to fit the needs of the business and allows for more autonomy (241-242).

7. What are service centers used for?

-”Routine, administrative, and standardized work”; deliver work to staff at a low cost (243).

8. Why would an HR department need different design models?

-Because it needs to match their outcomes and goals to the business in which they work. For example, larger organizations use matrix design model (a combination of both centralized & decentralized) because it allows for expansion and employees can take on several different roles. This would not be suitable for smaller businesses, because they would not have enough work or employees to fit the roles (241-242).

GM: Nonalignment & Frequent Conflict

Team 2:

Corey Wicks

Ahmed Aldhaheri

Abdulaziz Al Dossary

Dalal Alomair

Thomas Lee

Presentation Date: July 14, 2014

MGMT 3010

Summer 2014

Virg Setzer

General Motors (GM)

Leader in innovating and designing vehicles since 1908.

GM is one of the largest automobile manufacturers

Popular U.S sub-brands include: GMC, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC.

Increased international markets: Europe & South America (Vauxhall and Opel brands).

GM label, built from its lengthy history, popular vehicles, and loyal customers.

Newer CEO: Marry Barra

Speaker: Corey

GM: Problem

Speaker: Corey

Recently encountered a rather critical problem- massive 2014 recall on GM vehicles

Tarnished company’s image, profits and capital raising

IMPACT

June 2014 Recall-

2.6 million Chevy Cobalt vehicles (ignition switch defect)

Led to multiple crashes and injuries, 13 of which were fatal.

Reports indicate Cobalt recall should have been publicly reported in Spring 2014.

July 2014- GM increased total recalls to 8.2 million (5.6 million increase)

2014 Total Recalls (first seven months) - 29 million vehicles

IMPACT

Defect made key slip into accessories position while driving.

Shut vehicle off, the airbags, and power steering.

Nonalignment Problem: 2014 Recalls

Indicates possible communication problem among senior leadership. Charles Elson, head of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at University of Delaware's business school mentions that:

Speaker: Corey

“The same culture that led to the (GM) bankruptcy led to these safety issues'' (Dublin)

Key indicator of a malfunction between different departments.

Identified Problem:

Non-alignment and frequent conflict among the Senior Leadership Team is causing problems between various functions of the company; employees view the company as having a stove pipe (silo) mentality and as a result various functions do not work effectively together.

Director of Operations, 1st Question Please

Silo Defined

Speaker: Corey

Organization collectivism:

Organization- collection of people that collaborate to form entire operational function.

Employees have a favorable specialization or skillset.

Seated according to specializations and qualifications: Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Operations, etc.

Departments pool together collective resources and interests.

Silos Emerge:

Employees narrowly focus on their departments resources, activities, and people

Interact with employees in their departments more frequently than employees in other departments.

Interaction creates personal bonds among employees of same department.

IMPACT

GM Silo

Several different departments have to be in sync to create a quality vehicle.

Minimize manufacturing times, trim costs, maximize available resources, and realize profits.

Automotive companies (GM)-increased pressure for each department to meet performance requirements

GM employees are narrowly focused on their departments.

Ignition problem discovered at GM vehicle test drive in 2005.

GM engineering department didn't want to take a fall.

According to the LA Times,

“The report highlights a company that operated in silos," Barra said, "with a number of individuals seemingly looking for reasons not to act, instead of finding ways to protect our customers” (Hirsch).

GM’s functional areas not working effectively together

http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-gm-firings-20140605-story.html

Signs and Causes of Silo Formation

The Objectives of other departments or groups may be in conflict with the objectives of those in the silo.

“GM Nod”- (term quoted from CEO) management nods in agreement to proposed objectives outside of their departments but then does nothing to implement them.

Meetings are schedules based on the schedules of the employees of specific departments and they focus on the groups specific objectives.

Employees working closely together and creating their own sub-cultures.

Speaker: Dalal

Speaker: Dalal

Signs and Causes of Silo Formation

Director of Marketing, 2nd Question Please

Consequences and Threats of Silos!

Silos are a barrier to company departments collaborating with each other.

In the GM case, departments are not in collaboration as recalls seem to be piling up.

Limited communication.

Managers are only loyal to their own department and employees.

Ignition switch problem in GM vehicles

highlights these points.

The company begins to function as a group of mini companies, not one company.

The sub-cultures created become a part of the company and people become tied to their silo.

Speaker: Dalal

Proposed Solutions for Existing Conflicts (1)

Speaker: Thomas

GM needs to develop a mission statement and make a public announcement

Development of a mission statement will help to align all departments and ensure they strive for a common goal

WHY?

Example of Mission Statement:

“Making the world’s best vehicles can only happen with the world’s greatest employees. We take great pride in our work, and take great care to deliver exceptional cars and a positive ownership experience to our customers around the world”

Director of Finance, 3rd Question Please

Mission Statement Cost

Approximate Projected Initial Cost: $114,000

Approximate Cost Breakdown

U.S. Legal Expenses: (Trademark, Patent, Copyright) = $6,000

Global Legal Expenses: (Trademark, Patent, Copyright) = $22,000

Global Removal Costs: (Remove existing statement from all GM facilities i.e. websites, dealerships, warehouses, operating plants) = $34,000

Global Implementation Costs: (Apply new mission statement to all GM facilities i.e. websites, dealerships, warehouses, operating plants) = $52,000

Speaker: Thomas

Speaker: Thomas

Proposed Solutions for Existing Conflicts (2)

GM needs to create an Awareness Committee

To ensure the whole company has a flow of information that is accurate and consistent

WHY?

Note:

There will not be two like departments unknowingly trying to solve a common issue

Reduces the information silo GM currently has by ensuring that all departments are aware of problems, issues, and opportunities the company may be currently facing

EFFECT

Awareness Committee Structure

Committee structure:

Executive Committee Chair Person- Oversee all operations and relay reports back to GM Department heads

Committee Director Person – Propose Committee Strategy, Oversee III and IV, relay reports to HR

9 Committee Clerks – Draft reports/ paperwork

GM Department Representatives (2 from each department)- collect department information for Clerks.

Other Committee components:

Devise constant communication bulletins for status updates to other departments

Take open suggestions from their departments and address project status, timelines, and development issues

Speaker: Ahmed

Director of Finance, 4th Question Please

Committee Cost

Approximate Projected Annual Committee Costs: $1,053,000

Approximate Annual Cost Breakdown:

Executive Committee Chair: $97,000

Director Salary: $62,000

9 Committee Clerks Salaries ($32,000 each): $288,000

10 GM Department Representatives Salaries: (41,000 each): $410,000

Office Expense: $110,000

Travel Expenses: $64,000

Legal Expenses: $22,000

Speaker: Ahmed

Proposed Solutions to Prevent Expected Future Conflicts

1. GM must remain consistent with their mission statement

Must also change their mission statement to align with changing cultural and industry changes. Doing so will ensure that their shareholders and stakeholders know they are taking a vested effort in their business practices

2. GM must utilize the Awareness Committee to the fullest!

Correct utilization will ensure that GM as a whole consistently strives towards common goals. Eliminates future creations of information silos that currently plague GM

Speaker: Thomas

Ways to Implement the Proposed Solutions

Speaker: Abdulaziz

What are the two of the main problems for GM?

No communicating.

Not taking the responsibility.

How to implement our solutions?

Publically announce a mission statement.

Common goals.

Improve the confidence in the Senior Leadership Team.

GM bankruptcy and losing stockholders.

Helping the company eliminate all their issues with information silos.

To involve all the departments in a common activity.

To be aware of all the problems.

Ways to Measure Performance & Sustainability of Proposed Solutions

Being able to measure the performance and the sustainability of the solutions that we have proposed is an equally significant factor.

After carefully defining the overall company objectives, we have come up with two solutions:

1- Improving the budget framework.

2- Incorporating the correct measures to break the silos.

We need to research them from the point of view of a "performance appraisal process on their performance relative to these broader organizational objectives". (Select Strategy)

Speaker: Abdulaziz

Director of Marketing, 5th Question Please

Ways to Measure Performance & Sustainability of Proposed Solutions

"Does the employee strive for a better performance?”

"Does the employee have the liberty to collaborate with more teams in the company?”

"Does the employee attend meetings with members outside his/her department?” (Select Strategy)

Speaker: Abdulaziz

These findings will be correlated with the answers to questions such as:

These qualitative questions will be combined with quantitative questions regarding the actual performance, skill and competency of employees

Director of Operations, 6th Question Please

How Our Approach Differs

Making communication between all departments a priority

Transparency is the key to solving trust issues

Awareness committees staffed with employees from all departments increases interdepartmental activation and buy-in

Traditional approach is without vision for the future of the company

Speaker: Ahmed

Conclusion Remarks

Communicating openly and for the purpose of the betterment of all operations will be the key to destroying the silo structures that plague the company.

Speaker: Ahmed

Stakeholder reassurance of company ability

Vastly improved public image

New ideas and advancement shared company wide

Department Staff and Executive Directors, Any Questions?

The topic that has posed many concerns as to how we as an organization can ensure sustainable success within our company is the aging nature of our senior leadership employees, mostly comprised of the “baby boomer” generation.  Will we be able to minimize the loss of knowledge and skill gaps, as well as establish a comprehensive plan for hiring replacements?  Can we institute a training program that will ensure our company’s future success? The current challenges our company faces with topic are broad and very time sensitive. We must create a timeline for this transition, establishing employees to fill critical jobs, and ensuring that our customers receive uninterrupted, high-quality service. 

Over the next three years our organization is anticipating a large number of long time employees, baby boomers, to be retiring. This topic has raised many concerns as to how we as an organization can ensure sustainability and will be able to minimize lost knowledge and skill gaps as well as establishing a plan for hiring replacements and the training that will be included to ensure its success.

Currently, there has not been a succession plan in place to handle the retirement of senior management, let alone the large number of baby boomers that we are anticipating to retire within the next three years. As the baby boomer generation prepares to leave the organization, our goal is to take the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption in operations.

o   The impact the current situation has on the business  o   How the issue is currently being managed  o   What value our proposed approach will have for the business 

Preparing for the Workforce Shortage

Identify “critical talent”

Keep employees happy

Adapt to different work styles

The first key factor is finding potential leaders with critical talent. As senior management nears closer to retirement it is imperative that our future leaders will define the skill set needed that is critical to the overall business strategy of the company

When our baby boomers exit for retirement and their successors take their place, they too will also need successors under them and so on and so forth. When the new employees join the company, we feel its best to create an environment where they can grow within the company and that their needs are met with the organization (within reason) and as a result they want to commit to the company. This provides stability and overtime they will take the place of top executives above them as their successors

How will you implement your proposed solutions in a manner that gains buy­-in from all  key stakeholders? 

The following charts illustrate the differences between the Baby Boomers, Generation Xers and Millennials so management and human resources will be able to offer the newer employees incentives, and help them to transition into more challenging roles in the company hierarchy. One way that the chart assists us is by showing how a Generation X employee is going to respond to job conditions, and tailor the job offer to meet those expectations as much as possible

Regular reviews and opportunities to share their opinions, have any complaints resolved and related HR processes Frequent performance-based reviews and promotions, and have a fast-track system in place Offer incentives specific to our company, such as free flights or paid timeshare vacation packages to keep job satisfaction high

Our mentorship program of senior associates working hands-on with our upcoming leaders will ensure a smooth transfer of organization-specific knowledge.

By continually gauging our resources we will be able to identify new needs for our specific/individual employee needs, human resource levels for new leadership acquisition, and overall business operations. We will be continually growing our talented associates into future leaders, which will continually grow our business altogether.

MGMT 3010 – Managing People For A Competitive Advantage

INTRODUCTION

By Mohammed Alabbad

1. Different approaches may be taken for different situations.

2. Dealing ineffectively with conflict situations may lead to:

a. Harm your subordinates. b. Harm your whole company. c. Raise the employees’ turn over. d. Being disrespectful towards your employees.

Our case is about a senior leader that often “Yell” at lower level managers and employees. However, that senior leader really dislikes that approach in solving conflict situations, but he/she doesn’t know how to effectively deal with that. In addition, none of the employees is liking that approach and also they don’t know how to solve it.

The New Approach Will Focus On:

1. Maintaining a Healthy Work Environment.

2. Embracing Conflict.

By Fares

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION To ensure that all stakeholders buy-in, the first step would be to identify who the key stakeholders are?

● Stakeholders refer to any persons

By Hamad Alhajeri

Finding as much information about them as possible

● The more information we have about them the better.

● Knowing the history between the two teams.

By Hamad Alhajeri

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION

Stakeholder Participation

● Approach them and invite them to a meeting.

● Showing positive evidence.

By Hamad Alhajeri

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION

Giving stakeholders plenty of time to buy-in

● Never rush them

By Hamad Alhajeri

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION

The project team should present the plan in a manner that is clear for all the stakeholders

● Avoid confusion among the key stakeholders

● Involve leaders and management staff in conflict resolution training

By Ahmad Al Marri

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION

The current system is quite ineffective because it involves a lot of yelling and screaming at employees, causing them to feel uneasy and uncomfortable. ● Necessary to hold a meeting between Human

Resources and employees ● Necessary to implement the solution in different stages

1. Conflict resolution 2. Cet time limits on all the plans presented

By Ahmad Al Marri

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION

Team should identify and manage risks discovered jointly with the key stakeholders

● Involving other key stakeholders in this process/stage helps to identify practical and effective solutions to deal with the risks and issues successfully

● Necessary to enlist stakeholders commitment By Ahmad Al Marri

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION

The project team should also apply organizational change management to ensure successful transformation of the business

● Determine the impact that the proposed change

● Ensure to anchor the business value firmly

By Ahmad Al Marri

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION

MEASUREMENT and SUSTAINABILITY

How will you measure the results of your proposed approach?

● Training ● Assessments.

* How it will work

● Conflict Ideas Between Employees. * Monthly meeting, to choose the most effective one

By Abdulmajeed

How will you assure sustainability of your proposed approach?

● Annual Training * Annual training based on assessment results

* Refresh earlier learning skills as well as learn new ways to handle the conflict

MGMT 3010 Report

Challenge

The current challenge is that the performance management processes in place are not effective. Expectations in respect of performance are not clear and are not being consistently communicated across the company. As a result an inconsistent approach is taken by managers to performance management.

Criteria for Performance Management

A performance management system is one of the core HR systems within an organization. The basic criteria for performance management are:

· Accountability

· Transparency

· Completeness

· Equity (Ulrich et al, 2012).

To drive performance a clear process of performance assessment should be implemented with well-defined performance metrics.

Proposed Approach – New Performance Management System

We are proposing that our managers do three things in respect of performance management:

1) Define Performance

2) Facilitate Performance

3) Encourage Performance

Defining Performance

By defining performance the manager will let the employee know what is expected of them. The manager will use three tools to do this:

1) Goals

2) Measures

3) Assessment

It is important for managers to set specific, challenging goals. These goals should be SMART:

· Specific

· Measurable

· Attainable

· Realistic

· Timely

These goals should be set in collaboration with employees to encourage buy-in.

It is very important that managers are able to measure the goals that are set. We encourage managers to set a timeline for when they expect goals to be met to facilitate measurement of progress.

In respect of assessment, managers will use a performance appraisal system. By doing this there will be little doubt for employees as to what is expected of them. Company effectiveness will increase and staff will be more motivated. Goal setting should be performed twice annually. Employee appraisals should be held every 3 months. Records of all goals and a write up of the appraisal should be filed with the HR department.

Facilitating Performance

As part of performance facilitation managers have an important role to:

· Eliminating roadblocks to successful performance

· Providing adequate resources so that employees may achieve their goals

· Selecting the right employees

This should result in reducing labor costs and increasing productivity.

Encouraging Performance

Finally we recommend that a system is put in place to encourage performance in a coordinated manner. A sufficient number of rewards should be available, that employees value. They should also be provided in a timely manner and should be given in a manner that is fair. Such rewards do not have to be expensive for the company. We would recommend that they can include favors such as better parking or an award of employee of the month in recognition of an employees’ performance.

Difference in Approach

This method would be different because it would provide a framework so that a consistent approach can be taken towards performance management throughout the organization. This approach would be transparent and demonstrate accountability to both employees and managers. In addition, the requirements of the system (for example twice monthly goal setting sessions) will be set out on the company’s intranet so that all employees have access to it.

Gaining Buy-In

To gain buy-in we will provide training on performance management to all managers. This will include training on how to set goals and how to hold appraisals with employees. Management bonuses will also take into account performance management of managers and whether they have been compliant with the new policies.

Measuring Results

We believe that the result of the improvement performance management system will be increased productivity. In addition, results can be measures as part of the appraisal system. Results can be measured against the goals that are set.

Sustainability

We believe that the new performance system will be sustainable if it has buy-in and we intend to get the buy-in from management training and from linking management bonuses to their performance in the system.
