Employee Needs Powerpoint PresentationCindy Gordon
Research studies show that less than one-third of the workforce is highly engaged. Employee engagement not only impacts your bottom line through higher absenteeism, lower productivity and negativity, but also through the relationships these employees have with your customers and suppliers. Over the past three years employers have focused less attention on engagement strategies and more on fiscal survival. In tough economic times, cost cutting measures hit employees the most through staff reductions, wage freezes or reductions and the elimination of employee incentive programs. This has left the members of organizations feeling over worked and unappreciated. Improving engagement levels by focusing on employees needs is a cost effective way to ignite motivation and regain the commitment of your employees without a huge outlay of funds.
Creating Engagement through Employee Needs will offer participants an understanding and awareness of:
The cost of employee engagement to an organization
Why employee needs are relevant to engagement
The theoretical support to the significance of need as found by Abraham Maslow (1943 - A Theory of Human Motivation)
How needs can build engagement or create disengagement
How to create and implement cost effective engagement strategies that serve employee needs

Selecting Candidates for Engagement and RetentionMonster
This PowerPoint deck will examine real ways to measure quality of hire and impact the value of talent on an organization.
Learn how to:
* Dispel myths on subjective recruitment measures
* Assess candidates for traits and competencies that are true identifiers of engaged employees within your organization
* Identify candidate’s fit within the organizational culture
* Provide best practices and low-cost tips to engage early and often.
* Discuss the generational differences in workplace concerns and about national trends in employee engagement.
In Chapter 1, we talked about compensation objectives complementing overall human resource objectives and both of these helping an organization achieve its overall strategic objectives. But this begs the question, “How does an organization achieve its overall strategic objectives?” In this part of the book, we argue that organizational success ultimately depends on human behavior. Our compensation decisions and practices should be designed to increase the likelihood that employees will behave in ways that help the organization achieve its strategic objectives. This chapter is organized around employee behaviors. First, we identify the four kinds of behaviors organizations are interested in. Then we note what theories say about our ability to motivate these behaviors. And, finally, we talk about our success, and sometimes lack thereof, in designing compensation systems to elicit these behaviors. Exhibit 9.1 shows how organizational strategy is the guiding force that determines what kinds of employee behaviors are needed.
As an illustration, Nordstrom’s department stores are known for extremely good quality merchandise and high levels of customer satisfaction—this is the organization strategy they use to differentiate themselves from competitors. Nordstrom’s success isn’t a fluke. You can bet that some of their corporate goals, strategic business unit goals (SBU goals, where a strategic business unit might be a store), department-level goals, and indeed individual employee goals are linked to pleasing customers and selling high-quality products. The job of Human Resources is to devise policies and practices (and compensation falls in this mix) that lead employees (the last box in Exhibit 9.1) to behave in ways that ultimately support corporate goals. Walk into a Nordstrom, you see employees politely greeting you, helping without suffocating, and generally making the shopping experience a pleasant one. These are behaviors that support Nordstrom’s strategic plan. Every organization, whether they realize it or not, has Human Resource practices that can either work together, or conflict with each other, in trying to generate positive employee behaviors. One way of looking at this process is evident from Exhibit 9.2.
Wanting to succeed isn’t enough. Having the ability but not the motivation also isn’t enough. Many players with lots of talent doesn’t have the motivation to endure thousands of hours of repetitive drills, or to endure weight training and general physical conditioning. Even with both ability and motivation, a player’s work environment (both physical and political) must be free of obstacles. A home run hitter drafted by a team with an enormous ball park (home run fences set back much farther from home plate) might never reach his full potential. The same thing is true in more traditional jobs. with ability—that’s the primary job of recruitment, selection, and training. on Once good people are hired, they need to be motivated to behave in way

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
