This document discusses values-based hiring as a way to reduce "bad hires" and associated costs. It proposes that focusing on a candidate's values and culture fit is more important than skills and experience alone. A key part is using behavioral interview questions to evaluate how a candidate has handled past situations, as this indicates future performance. The employee contribution grid shows how candidates vary in skills, experience, aptitude, and culture fit. Hiring for aptitude and culture fit over just skills allows a company to gain valuable traits it needs. The document provides a framework for a values-based hiring process including clear job descriptions, screening for values in applications and interviews, and using a competency-based behavioral interview packet and evaluation matrix.

In the past, in-house human resources professionals and Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) have had a rocky relationship. The main cause of this rift has been the belief that PEOs are out to replace in-house HR. G&A Partners, a Texas-based PEO, takes a closer look at this long-held - but completely false - myth, and explains why HR professionals should embrace, not fear, the services that Professional Employer Organizations offer.

Talent and leadership development have always gone hand in hand. The understanding of talent has addictively focused
on high potential based on some Darwinian notion that future leaders are created from a pool of about 20 per cent of employees who evolve into the “chosen ones.” And so employers disproportionately invest large amounts of capital on a group of “high flyers” in the hope the chosen ones will develop into future leaders. Identifying the chosen ones assumes leaders have the ability to accurately speculate on potential based on observation of demonstrated capabilities in employees’ current roles and the belief that past behaviour is a predictor of future behaviour. However, the conventional approach to talent and high potential is very limited. It is not uncommon for leaders to be considered high potential under one manager in one business unit and then, after being transferred to another business unit, lose their royalty status as a high potential when they struggle to adjust to the finer nuances in the different business unit context. Vice-versa, duds inherited from other business units can suddenly emerge as high-potential talent in their new business unit. Nor is it uncommon to hear that leaders considered to be high-potential talent were actually not considered talent at all in their previous organizations. So what has changed? Has the employee suddenly inherited a dose of talent characteristics or has she simply found that unique combination of environment, manager and role that leverages her true potential?

2-2 Interview Reflections I felt that my interviewee understo.docxeugeniadean34240
2-2: Interview Reflections
I felt that my interviewee understood that the job of HR needed to change to stay relevant. According to Grossman, being a “credible partner” is part of the competencies that are required in the new reality that is HR. With speaking to Joe, my interviewee, it appears that he recognized a long time ago that to survive, HR was going to have to make changes and become relevant to the business they are in, which is the moving industry. With doing this, they have looked for ways to outsource the “usual” HR functions and become involved with supporting the staff that they have, getting great talent, and being a source of knowable for the company. Taking an early lead in being a part of the development of their tariff has allowed Joe’s HR division to be taken very seriously within the company. They continue to evolve into the HR of today and even the future.
3.2 The Organizational Culture
After taking the survey, I realize that the organizational culture that I would want at my “Best Place to Work” would be similar to what I have now. My current company believes that HR is the responsibility of everyone. We have a benefits manager but recruiting top talent is such an important part of our cincture, that we receive a $10,000 bonus for recruiting staff.
Credibility- It is important that staff and clients feel that they can trust us. We find that we have repeat customers within the client base and recommendations due to our credibility.
Respect- Clients and staff are treated with prospect. The CEO understands that we make the company run. He rewards the staff with many different gifts and shows of appreciation.
Fairness- Being fair is a hallmark of a good company. Nothing ruins moral faster than favoritism.
Pride and Camaraderie- Staff are happy and proud to tell people they work for the company. This is due to the stellar reputation.
4-4: Leading Change
With my industry, which is hirer education financial aid, change is driven by new policies and regulations that come from the federal government. These changes are inevitable and uncontrollable. Within my consulting firm, we stay ahead of the change by paying attention and participating in negotiated rulemaking, which allows the financial aid industry to have a say in the policies that re coming down the pipe. We definitely use the analyze/think/change model.
The emotional reactions to change that I see very often is fear. Many times, staff is afraid that within the change, they will seem incompetent if they don’t take on the change as quick as other staff. During my current project, which is redesign of the student employment office, the staff involved went through all the emotions in varying levels. They eventual got to renewal and are fully vested in the process.
It is import for HR to take a front seat when change happens. This helps staff to understand that they are supported. It is also important for staff to be able to have their negative feelings openly, .
Engaged employees provide immeasurable benefits to your organization. It begins at the organizational then managerial, finally employee levels of the organization.

Time to Scrap Performance Appraisals?

Something big is going on in business today. More and more companies have decided to radically change their performance appraisal process.
Last week at our research conference we spoke with Adobe, Juniper, Kelly Services, and a variety of other companies who have decided to do away with traditional performance ratings and completely change the annual appraisal process.
Our research shows that this is a strong and positive trend.
Why the process must change.
Why do companies have annual reviews in the first place? Primarily they are an artifact from traditional top-down companies where we had to "weed out" the bottom performers every year. By forcing managers to rate people once per year we can have annual talent reviews and decide who gets more money, who to promote, and who to let go.
Coupled with the performance rating is the "potential" rating, which tries to capture an individual's potential to move up two levels in the organization (the traditional definition).
This approach is based on a philosophy that "we cant totally trust managers" so we're going to force them to fit people into these rating scales. And in many companies (around 20%) there are forced distributions.
The well publicized problems with this process abound. These include:
· Employees need and want regular feedback (daily, weekly), so a once-a-year review is not only too late but it's often a surprise.
· Managers cannot typically "judge" an entire year of work from an individual, so the annual review is awkward and uncomfortable for both manager and employee.
· The manager-employee link is not 1:1 like it used to be - we usually have many peers and managers we work with during the year, so one person cannot adequately rate you without lots of peer input.
· While some employees are a poor fit and likely are poor performers, these issues should be addressed immediately, not once per year.
· People are inspired and motivated by positive, constructive feedback - and the "appraisal" process almost always works against this.
· The most important part of an appraisal is the "development planning" conversation - what can one do to improve performance and engagement - and this is often left to a small box on the review form.
Of course companies are very nervous about eliminating this process because:
· We need a fair and validated way to distribute compensation increases (don't we?)
· We need a record of low performance when we let someone go
· We need to capture performance data in an employee's profile for future promotion and other talent reviews, development plans, and career migration
· We need a way to make sure managers are doing their jobs well.
Well I've probably discussed these issues with 100+ companies over the last five years and our research shows more and ...

How to Build and Maintain a Premier OrganizationLucas Group
An important trend facing organizations across all industries is bridging the knowledge gap between outgoing employees and those who remain or are hired to fulfill their work. Despite a stubbornly persistent unemployment rate in the U.S., attracting and retaining people who can positively impact your company remains a considerable challenge to building and maintaining a premier organization. Triggered by Baby Boomer retirements, companies must develop systematic ways to attract the best, retain the best, and hold on to the knowledge that the best contribute to their organizations.
