Powering Your Bottom Line Through Employee EngagementKip Michael Kelly
The greatest concerns of most CEOs are operational excellence, innovation, risk, the regulatory environment, and competing globally. Underpinning those areas is their primary concern—human capital. The “people thread” is what prepares an organization to compete and win. The greatest asset that organizations have is the power of their employees. Employee engagement—the emotional commitment of employees—is a tremendous competitive advantage that impacts the bottom line when strategically managed.
The majority of organizations have an opportunity to further leverage employee engagement as a business driver. A recent Gallup poll found that more than 70 percent of American workers are either actively or passively disengaged from their work. HR, talent management professionals, and business leaders need to assess (or re-assess) how widespread and entrenched employee disengagement is in their organizations and partner together to improve it.
This white paper:
- Discusses the costs of employee disengagement in organizations.
- Links employee engagement to an organization’s bottom line and offers reasons why employee engagement should be a strategic business priority.
- Offers steps that HR and talent managers can take to improve employee engagement throughout their organizations.
- Provides examples of what organizations are doing to boost employee engagement.

- Current performance management systems are not well aligned with company goals and fail to maximize growth potential. They often drive conflicting behaviors rather than focus employees on key priorities.
- To be effective, performance management must start by clearly linking business goals and human capital performance. Metrics and incentives should drive the right behaviors to achieve milestones and outcomes. Reviews should also focus on adapting to changes in the business environment.
- A new approach is needed to manage performance in today's highly networked environment where collaboration, information flows, and organizational structures have changed. Individual metrics no longer capture real contributions to business outcomes.

Similarly, the Internet was first seen as just an online version of existing tools but is now driving massive changes. Specifically, the Internet allows business buyers to easily research products, make price comparisons, and involve multiple decision-makers in the buying process. It also discusses how sales roles now focus more on consultative selling rather than just information delivery. Overall, the Internet is fundamentally changing how businesses buy and sell.

The changing role_of_the_sales_professionalMod Piyanush
This document discusses the changing roles of sales professionals from a traditional hunter/farmer model to more specialized roles. It argues that popular culture favors an aggressive "hunter" role over the important "farmer" role of maintaining customer relationships. However, retaining existing customers is more economically important and less expensive than acquiring new ones. The best sales organizations segment roles based on customer needs rather than stereotypes. Favoring hunters over farmers is counterproductive and forces sales teams to work harder each year to maintain revenues.
- Total Quality Management (TQM) and Six Sigma focus on measuring and reducing errors in processes, and have been applied successfully in manufacturing for decades.
- Applying TQM concepts to sales through a methodology called Total Quality Sales Management (TQSalesM) would involve precisely measuring sales activities and identifying causes of failure to improve effectiveness.
- TQSalesM would require accurate competency assessments of salespeople to establish strengths, weaknesses, and potential in order to better manage sales teams.
Here are 3 key points about new demands on sales training:
1. As sales roles have transformed from providing information to creating solutions, sales professionals are now expected to be trusted advisors who can help customers improve their business through a deep understanding of the customer's industry and needs.
2. To become a trusted advisor, salespeople need a strong understanding of both the customer's business and their own company's business. They must understand how their company's products, services, and expertise can address customer challenges.
3. Traditional sales training focused on product knowledge and closing techniques is no longer sufficient. Sales training now needs to develop business knowledge and partnership skills so salespeople can consult with customers as strategic partners, not just vendors.

This document discusses principles for effectively compensating salespeople based on customer needs and the product/market life cycle stage. It outlines four stages - introduction, fast growth, penetration, and saturation - that correspond to different customer buying behaviors and needs for technical support. Each stage requires a different type of salesperson with unique skills and incentives. Effective compensation plans consider company goals, tie pay to measurable success factors, include both fixed and variable elements for easy management, and motivate salespeople to meet strategic and tactical needs throughout the product life cycle.

Completing the Sales Managed Environment program would certify sales managers and equip them to build high-performing sales organizations through intensive coaching, testing, training, and use of proven systems and processes.
Talent attraction for the modern recruiterSoraya Lavery
The document provides an overview of talent attraction strategies for modern recruiters. It discusses trends like the increasing demand for talent outpacing supply. Effective talent attraction involves understanding business needs, benchmarking current employees, and developing clear differentiation from competitors. The marketing cycle for talent includes researching needs, planning recruitment messaging, and communicating the brand where candidates can be found. Case studies show how aligning recruitment with business goals and getting candid employee feedback can improve hiring and retention.
Moving Mountains discusses how investing in human capital through performance and talent management software can drive significant financial results for companies by improving strategy execution. It summarizes research showing customers of SuccessFactors saw faster communication of strategy, goal setting, focus on priorities, and project completion after implementing the software. The document advocates aligning employees' performance with strategy to realize the full potential value of the strategy. It argues the greatest lever for performance is human capital, since employees drive 85% of financial results, and performance management software can help companies better understand and improve the distribution of performance levels among their workforce.
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of HR professionals in the manufacturing sector on trends in 2019. Some of the main findings include:
- 64% of respondents felt their workforce was engaged, while 36% saw room for improvement in engagement. Capturing why employees leave was important for retention.
- 86% could track why employees leave, with top reasons being lack of vision, appreciation, and development opportunities.
- 54% reviewed employee performance once a year, while there is a shift towards more frequent, collaborative reviews.
- Over 80% heavily relied on recruitment agencies, despite potential for cost savings through in-house recruiting using applicant tracking systems.

Chapter 13 Staffing System Evaluation and Technology
Staffing Metrics
Because people pay attention to what gets measured, carefully selecting key metrics to track can help focus employees on key behaviors and outcomes. But too much information makes it difficult to focus attention on the metrics and outcomes that are the most important. To evaluate its staffing success, telecommunication company Avaya sets goals for how many experienced employees it intends to acquire from its competitors. The company also measures the performance of individuals who move internally from one business to another compared with the average performance of employees in that division. One company representative says, “Most companies will say their recruitment is successful if they retain the people that they hire. We look beyond that and set very specific goals for ourselves.”14
Southwest Airlines measures key metrics including cost per hire, new hire quality, compensation, time to productivity, and retention and promotion rates of high-potential employees and uses these measurements to continually improve its staffing and talent management process. If Southwest notices that an operational group is logging above average overtime, for example, it works with that group to reduce overtime by decreasing turnover or increasing staffing.15
Staffing metrics can be thought of as long term or short term, and can be efficiency or effectiveness oriented. Next, we discuss these different types of metrics and how they are best used.
Long-Term and Short-Term Metrics
Metrics can be tracked over many different time periods. Short-term metrics help a firm evaluate the success of its staffing system in terms of the recruiting and new hire outcomes achieved. These metrics include:
· The percentage of hires for each job or job family coming from each recruiting source and recruiter
· The number of high-quality new hires coming from each recruiting source and recruiter
· The number of diverse hires coming from each recruiting source and recruiter
· The average time to start (by position, source, and recruiter)
· The average time to contribution (by position, source, and recruiter)
Long-term metrics help a firm evaluate the success of its staffing system in terms of the outcomes that occur some time after employees are hired. These metrics include:
· Employee job success by recruiting source and by recruiter
· Employee tenure by recruiting source and by recruiter
· Promotion rates by recruiting source and by recruiter
Short-term metrics are useful as leading indicators of a company’s ability to have the right people in the right jobs at the right time to execute its business strategy and to meet its immediate staffing goals. Long-term metrics are useful as lagging indicators. They are best used for evaluating the effectiveness of the firm’s long-term staffing system—for example, the long-term, on-the-job success of employees and their turnover and promotion rates.

This document provides an overview of different types of business organizations: sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. Sole proprietorships are owned by one individual and have unlimited liability but are easy to form. Partnerships have two or more owners with unlimited liability but are also easy to form. Corporations have limited liability for owners, unlimited lifespan, and easy ownership transfer through stock shares, making them better able to raise capital. Most large businesses are organized as corporations to maximize value. Managing agencies is a potential problem for corporations that is addressed through governance structures.
Final Presentation NotesSlide 1(2-5 minutes)KTI lost revenue.docxAKHIL969626
Final Presentation Notes
Slide 1(2-5 minutes)
KTI lost revenue and market share over the past 3 years. Sales of tape storage units are down 35%. KTI believes it needs to reduce human capital by 25% per year while maintaining the current level of production. Jan Ricter, Vice President of Human Resources for Keller Technology Inc. and the Consulting Group are key players. Jan has asked our consulting group to determine the right mix of human capital reduction and RIF strategies for KTI. Our job as consultants is to recommend a downsizing mix that Jan can use to execute the RIF.
5 elements of an effective proposal?
Goals of Proposed Effort- The goal is to make sure the Human Capital Reduction effort process goes smoothly. We need to determine the right mix of human capital reduction strategies. We also need to develop a plan to offset the negative effects caused by the reduction.
Recommended Action Plan- We need to collect preliminary data to determine what is causing the symptoms listed above. (Company records/interview key members)

Mutual expectations are the outcomes of the services that the OD is going to provide to the organization stated by the client. The client further states what to expect from consultant and processes used to pursue the goals of the proposal. Encouraging clients to state what they expect in form of personal accomplishments, working relationships and outcomes facilitates the development an ideal contract.
In any project, there are various client issues which must be handled with care for the goals of the project to be achieved. One of the client issues is usually the fear of losing control of the organization to OD practitioners. The other issue is the client being exposed and vulnerable as he has allowed OD practitioners to have access to organization’s confidential information. Therefore, these issues need to be sorted before the OD practitioner can begin working on the project.
Slide 2
The presented problem is a symptom. Something is causing KTI to lose revenue. Something is causing sales of tape storage to be down.
Slide 3
Job performance is work-related activities that are expected of an employee and how well the employee performs those activities. Job performance can be measured by looking at quality and quantity of work. Each department measures performance differently. Job performance can be evaluated weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually; depending on the work setting. Performance can be evaluated by using performance appraisals. A performance appraisal is a human resource system designed to provide feedback to an individual or group about its performance and its developmental opportunities. The performance appraisal process can be linked to a reward system. There is also a process called performance management that involves goal setting, performance appraisal, and reward systems th ...

Six Sigma
The term Six Sigma, popularized by Motorola, Honeywell, and General Electric, has two meanings in TQM. In a statistical sense, it describes a process, product, or service with an extremely high capability (99.9997% accuracy). For example, if 1 million passengers pass through the St. Louis Airport with checked baggage each month, a Six Sigma program for baggage handling will result in only 3.4 passengers with misplaced luggage. The more common three-sigma program (which we address in the supplement to this chapter) would result in 2,700 passengers with misplaced bags every month. See Figure 6.4.
Six Sigma
A program to save time, improve quality, and lower costs.
The second TQM definition of Six Sigma is a program designed to reduce defects to help lower costs, save time, and improve customer satisfaction. Six Sigma is a comprehensive system—a strategy, a discipline, and a set of tools—for achieving and sustaining business success:
1. LO 6.3Explain Six Sigma
· It is a strategy because it focuses on total customer satisfaction.
· It is a discipline because it follows the formal Six Sigma Improvement Model known as DMAIC. This five-step process improvement model (1) Defines the project’s purpose, scope, and outputs and then identifies the required process information, keeping in mind the customer’s definition of quality; (2) Measures the process and collects data; (3) Analyzes the data, ensuring repeatability (the results can be duplicated) and reproducibility (others get the same result); (4) Improves, by modifying or redesigning, existing processes and procedures; a.

It also queries impressions of the recruiting process, brand awareness, source of hire, and job fit. QTrac helps organizations develop comprehensive employer branding strategies through recommendations from HR consultants.
The document provides an overview of some of the most admired companies according to Fortune magazine. It discusses that these companies excel in areas like innovation, management quality, employee talent, product/service quality, long-term value, financial soundness, social responsibility, and use of corporate assets. It also notes that these companies focus on using technology to reduce costs and improve processes. The companies have been able to generate high stock returns due to their ability to create value for customers, employees, and other stakeholders, which allows them to generate strong cash flows.
With advancing technologies, many organizations are focused more than ever on recruiting—particularly for skills they
need to succeed, such as expertise in data science, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. These hard-to-find and
hard-to-hire skills—like so many other skilled professions—cost a lot to recruit. With labor pools shrinking, retaining
talent at every level is critical. Recruiting is more expensive than retention, which can be optimized via training or
creating a culture of constant learning. Choosing recruitment over retention also has a negative effect on employees,
who are left to wonder why their work seems to have less value than that of a new employee.
In this environment, it becomes clear that value lies in the engagement of employees—making sure they are actively
contributing to the company while learning new skills and advancing their own careers. But how to measure something
as intangible as engagement?

1) Getting talent on the right track requires a long term talent strategy rather than quick fixes, which can perpetuate a cycle of catching one's own tail.
2) Building a robust talent bench through a 5+ year strategy that identifies critical capabilities and allows flexibility is key to absorbing short term issues.
3) Developing a talent culture through leadership commitment, measurement, and forums for discussing talent can help ensure the right people are identified and developed for key roles.
