Job Evaluation • Defence for Equal Pay claims • Upward Grade Drift • Over graded jobs • Still cases of personal reward • Ops Comm process – wrong way round?
Reward Systems University Rewards (Financial & non-financial) • Inconsistency • Setting the bar too low • Consolidated v Non-consolidated? • Inappropriate promises • Perverse rewards • Passive
What is Employee Engagement … It’s all about: .. getting employees to “give it their all” - commitment .. employees as advocates – ambassadors for the employer .. becoming an employer of choice .. improving productivity and quality of services …morale
The Employment Exchange inHard Times The Employer gives... The Employee gives... Loyalty and commitment A willingness to develop skills Good conduct/performance Ideas and opinions • Equal opportunities • Information and genuine consultation • Flexible working • Safe working environment • Appropriate reward
Benefits of Employee Engagement • “Engaged employees also experience increased job satisfaction and more positive attitudes and emotions generally towards their work, suggesting enhanced levels of engagement are of benefit to the individual as well as their employer” CIPD Working Life: Employee Attitudes and Engagement
Employment Exchange (Psychological Contract) Key Factors: • Transparency • Understanding • Communication • Consistency • Balance • Realistic Expectation
What limits or damages engagement is: Perceptions of: • job insecurity and fear • jobs causing high stress – little autonomy, inflexibility • unfairness - especially in pay and rewards • poor line management • Inappropriate behaviour / bullying harassment • little career progression.
Redeployment & Redundancy • Organisation as employer • Internal adverts • FTCs • Tensions re Redeployment • Security of Employment (6 months) • Protection • Failure to consult • Avoidance of our own procedures
Absence Management • Engaged employees take an average of 2.69 sick days per year; the disengaged take 6.19. Gallup Survey (From ACAS June 2011) Others put average around 8 days Higher in public sector
Strategies for absence improvement • Back to Work meetings • Improve data recording and review • Be aware (of all your staff) • Take action • Avoid absence culture • Communication • Leadership • Deal with poor performers
Informal & Formal Interviews Considerations for best practice- • Common understanding of process and outcome • Courtesy and Respect • Control • Recruitment – pick best person and leave others with good experience • Disciplinary – Fair and consistent outcome • Grievance – Fair hearing; Implications; Closure • Sickness – Understanding; Action
Grievance Interviews “We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right."
Recommendations • Attend the one-day Recruitment & Selection Training course if you have not already done so (as part of this Unit and your assignment will cover that as well) • Also try and attend any PDR, Managing Sickness/Attendance and Respecting Diversity training courses as well. Refresh yourselves on the E&D e-learning courses.
Recommendations (Personal) • Learn from others – good and bad • Reflect on your experiences • Continuous improvement – stretch yourself • Use available information - anticipate • Learn things that other’s don’t know • Believe in yourself • Use a mentor • Keep CPD record • Regularly review your CPD plan – any gaps? • Have a plan ‘B’
