Strategies to Improve Employee Retention in a Diverse Workforce Part One: Eng...Human Capital Media
To accommodate career development and retention in today’s diverse work environment, it’s more important than ever to ensure you have key strategies in place that support the alignment of individual employee goals and development.
Join us for part one of this two-part webinar series and learn key steps to improving employee engagement through goal and development plans that allow everyone in your workforce to share the same vision of success and the tools to get them there.
Employee engagement is not an exact science. So far, the whole concept has been built on HR experience, positive phycology and business models that engage a company’s talent towards a productive culture of success.
At the core of employee engagement, similar to any company’s foundation, are some values. These values determine the why, how and what of that company, presumably.
In today’s economy, you’re building your company brand both through external as well as internal efforts. Playing two battlefields at the same time can prove to be tricky, that’s why some companies decide to focus their resources only on the external branding front. Meanwhile, they neglect their internal environment, failing to provide an engaging, challenging and appealing workplace.
Enters talent management. A grey area where an HR manager meets a Talent Manager/Chief Happiness Officer. Confusing? Yes. And if it’s confusing for the person actually holding that position, imagine what it does to the employees he or she is supposed to be engaging.
So, we came up with 25 ideas that can save a manager in need of some inspiration. Enjoy!
This presentation seeks to understand all possible factors behind Employee Attrition in the Philippine Corporate setting with challenges to HR departments to be innovative in addressing this problem.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Wrap-Up: What World-Class Companies Do
Productivity
Productivity means the amount of products or services produced
with the resources used
Productivity = Quantity of products or services produced
Amount of resources used
Productivity varies with the amount of production relative to the
amount of resources used.
Ways to Increase Productivity
Increase output using the same or a lesser amount of resource.
djayadeva@gmail.com 1
humantalents-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
2. Humantalents
Reduce amount of resource used while keeping output constant
or increasing it.
Use more resource as long as output increases at a greater rate.
Decrease output as long as resource use decreases at a greater
rate.
Impact of Price/Cost Change on Productivity
When the cost of a resource increases and profit is to remain the
same, some combination of the following must occur:
output is increased
resource usage is decreased
price of output is increased
Why do We Care About Productivity?
Without productivity improvement, businesses do not
survive in a global economy.
Higher productivity means higher standard of living.
The US has traditionally been the leader in productivity
gains but other countries are closing the gap.
Single Factor Approach to Measuring Productivity
Capital - Number of products produced
Divided by asset value
Materials - Number of products produced
Divided by dollars spent on materials
Direct Labor - Number of products produced
Divided by direct labor-hours
Overhead - Number of products produced
Divided by dollars spent on overhead
Single Factor Approach to Measuring Productivity
djayadeva@gmail.com 2
humantalents-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
3. Humantalents
Note that the productivity of a particular resource can be increased
simply by replacing some of this resource with a different type of
resource.
For example: If automation is substituted for direct labor and output
volume is unaffected, direct-labor productivity increases (and capital
productivity decreases).
Our view of productivity must be toward improving the productivity
of all the factors of production.
Labor Productivity
For some firms, production labor (touch labor) represents a very
small part of the firm’s total costs
For other firms, particularly service firms, direct labor cost remains a
significant cost and the need to improve labor productivity is still a
serious concern
Variables Affecting Labor Productivity
Physical work environment
Technology, equipment, materials, lighting, layout
Product quality
Defects, scrap, rework
Employee job performance
Employee ability, motivation
Employee Job Performance
Motivation is perhaps the most complex variable in the productivity
equation.
o Only unsatisfied needs are motivators.
o Maslow identified five basic needs: physiological, safety, social,
esteem, and self-fulfillment.
djayadeva@gmail.com 3
humantalents-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
4. Humantalents
o The higher level needs (social, esteem, and self-fulfillment)
might hold the most promise for motivating.
If productivity is seen as a way to fulfill needs, higher
productivity is likely to result.
Factors affecting Motivation
Formal organization
Informal groups
Job design
Leadership
Union
Psychological needs
Economic conditions
Personal situations
Specialization of Labor
Advantages
High production rates
Low wage rates
Low skill requirements
Disadvantages
High turnover, absenteeism, tardiness, grievances, sickness, and
sabotage
Low production quality at times
Modifying Jobs to Provide Broader Range of Needs Satisfaction
Cross-training -- workers perform multiple jobs
Job enlargement -- adding similar tasks to worker’s job - horizontal
job expansion
Job enrichment -- adding more management functions to job -
vertical job expansion
Team production -- organizing workers into teams; assigning
management responsibility to teams
djayadeva@gmail.com 4
humantalents-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
5. Humantalents
Job Design
Can we simultaneously give workers the satisfaction they want from
their work and still give the organization the productivity and
efficiency to survive economically?
Guidelines for Designing
Jobs and Work Environments
o Workers’ Job Tasks
o Avoid machine pacing of workers
o Design jobs so that workers inspect their own output
o Open work areas for communication & visual contact
o Combine job planning into workers’ jobs
o Automate boring, uncomfortable, or unsafe jobs
Immediate Job Setting
o Rotate jobs that are repetitive, monotonous, boring
o Assign new workers to undesirable jobs, then transfer them to
more preferred jobs
o Recruit disadvantaged persons for high-turnover jobs
o Give rest periods to workers with repetitive jobs
o Set higher pay rates for undesirable jobs
Guidelines for Designing Jobs and Work Environments
Larger Work Environment
o Select/train supervisors who openly communicate
o Develop supervisors who are comfortable with a participative
team environment
o Remove physical barriers between management and other
employees
o Create climate that recognizes workers & work teams
o Develop formal/informal channels of communication in all
directions
djayadeva@gmail.com 5
humantalents-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
6. Humantalents
Empowering Workers
o It is the employees who have control of, and know the most
about, the details of production.
o To get employees to accept this responsibility, managers must
first give employees the authority to act.
o The process of conveying authority from managers to workers
is called worker empowerment.
o Workers accepting responsibility for production can lead to
what is called internal ownership.
Steps of Work Methods Analysis
1. Make an initial investigation of the operation
2. Decide what level of analysis is appropriate
3. Get suggestions from anyone familiar with operation
4. Thoroughly describe and evaluate present method
5. Devise a new proposed method
6. Compare new and present methods
7. Modify the proposed method
8. Perform the proposed method on a trial basis
9. Install the proposed method and train workers
10. Check on new method periodically
Work Measurement
Work measurement refers to the process of estimating the
amount of worker time required to produce one unit of output.
A goal of work measurement is to develop labor standards that
can be used for planning and controlling operations.
Labor Standards
djayadeva@gmail.com 6
humantalents-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
7. Humantalents
A labor standard is the number of worker-minutes required to
complete an element, operation, or product under ordinary
operating conditions.
Ordinary operating conditions refer to a hypothetical average
situation ….. average or typical worker, material, machinery,
environment, etc.
Labor standards are used in:
Cost estimation
Pricing of products and services
Incentive pay systems
Capacity planning
Production scheduling
Determination of Labor Standards
A labor standard can be determined using one or more of the
following approaches:
Time study
Work sampling
Predetermined time standards
----------- Subjective ------------
Historical standards
Supervisor estimates
Time Study
Suitable Jobs
Job performed by a single worker in a fixed location
Job involves repetitive short cycles
Job expected to continue unchanged for a long period
Job produces large quantities of output
Resulting time standard must be very accurate
Time Study
djayadeva@gmail.com 7
humantalents-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
8. Humantalents
Analysts use stopwatches to time the operation being
performed by workers
These observed times are then converted into labor standards
The labor standards are expressed in minutes per unit of output
for the operation
Determining Labor Standards from Time Studies
1. Make sure correct methods are being used to perform the
operation being studied.
2. Break the operation down into basic tasks (elements).
3. Determine how many cycles to time. A cycle is one complete set
of the elemental tasks.
4. Observe and record the elapsed time for each element for the
number of required cycles.
5. For each element, estimate the observed worker’s performance
rating. A rating of 1.00 indicates the worker is working at normal
speed.
6. Compute the allowance fraction for the operation. The allowance
fraction is the fraction of time that workers cannot work through no
fault of their own.
7. Compute the mean observed time for each element:
(Sum of observed element times)
(Number of cycles timed)
8. Compute the element normal time for each element:
= (Mean observed time) x (Performance rating)
9. Compute the total normal time for the entire operation:
= (Sum of element normal times for all elements)
djayadeva@gmail.com 8
humantalents-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
9. Humantalents
10. Compute the labor standard for the operation:
= (Total normal time) / (1 - Allowance fraction)
Self study material
Example: Time Study Approach
In a time study of a manufacturing operation, the average time
observed to complete a product was 8.6 minutes. The performance
rating applied to the observed worker was 0.95 and the allowance
during an 8-hour shift was 12.5% or 60 minutes.
Compute the labor standard.
Observed time = 8.6 minutes
Performance rating = 0.95
Allowance fraction = 0.125
Normal time = Observed time x Performance rating
= 8.6 x 0.95
= 8.17 minutes
Standard Time = Normal time / (1 - Allowance)
= 8.17 / (1 - .125)
= 8.17 / (0.875)
= 9.337 minutes
Predetermined Time Standards
Commonly used for new operations or new products
When labor standard must be determined in advance of performing
an operation
Utilize data that have been historically developed for basic body
movements, elements of operations, and entire operations

Learning Curves
At the start of production runs:
Workers are unfamiliar with their tasks
Time it takes to produce the first few units is high
As the workers learn their tasks:
Their output per day increases up to a point
Then their output levels off to a rather constant rate
Most aircraft manufacturing tasks experience an 80% learning rate
Labor-hours required to assemble an aircraft is reduced by a factor of
0.8 as the production quantity doubles
If first aircraft assembled requires 100 labor-hours
Second aircraft would require 80 labor-hours
Fourth aircraft would require 64 labor-hours
Eighth aircraft would require 51.2 labor-hours … and so on
By analyzing workers’ learning situations, we are able to estimate:
djayadeva@gmail.com 10

The average number of labor-hours required per unit for N units in a

a production run
