This document presents a presentation on career development by Kumar Rahul for his MBA program. It defines career development as activities that enhance skills and allow one to make the best use of their competencies in their desired career. It discusses factors that shape careers like career anchors and sources of career behavior. It also presents examples of career paths for academics and process engineers. The document advocates for career development programs in organizations and describes their potential components. It shares results of a survey conducted that found lack of career growth is a major reason employees leave jobs and that career growth is important for job satisfaction. It concludes many employees feel their companies are not adequately supporting their career development.
The document discusses management development programs, which are programs initiated by companies to train and retrain managers. It outlines the typical process for developing management development programmers, including identifying desired competencies, determining skill and performance gaps, and creating customized development plans. Some benefits of management development programmers for employers and employees are also mentioned, such as higher salaries, promotions, a well-trained loyal staff, and encouraging diversity in management.
Is your training paying dividends: employee development, behavioral change, and or better leadership? Smart CEOs realize that organizational success really begins and ends with the employees’ development that supports day-to-day actions that sustain organizational success. Today, due to the Internet and the ability to conduct evaluations, online surveys, multi-rater 360˚ feedback, webinar training, and live streaming, programed learning modules create formats for on-going talent and training development. So many opportunities, so little behavioral change! Why isn’t training working?
This white paper discusses the key role of learning and development in an effective talent management strategy. It outlines five major roles for L&D professionals: 1) developing competency models, 2) creating demand for talent-driven learning programs, 3) promoting informal and on-demand learning, 4) designing career development processes, and 5) coaching the talent management team. The paper emphasizes that talent development through learning is essential for building employee competence, commitment, and high performance, and for identifying and assessing top talent according to an organization's leadership framework.
The document discusses the importance of training and development for employees and organizations. It makes the case that in a rapidly changing society, training and development are necessary for organizations to maintain a knowledgeable workforce. It defines key terms like training, which aims to improve current job performance, and development, which helps individuals grow and prepares them for larger responsibilities. An effective training system is systematic, improves skills for new technologies/methods, and improves employee performance and productivity. Regular needs assessments are important to identify what training is needed. The goals of training and development programs are to improve workforce quality, enhance employee growth, prevent obsolescence, assist new employees, and improve health and safety.
This document discusses various training methods and how to select the appropriate methods for a training program. It describes how training can improve performance by increasing an individual's aerobic ceiling and making their muscles more tolerant to stress. The key factors discussed are training intensity, duration, and frequency. It explains that most people see optimal results from training 3 times per week. A variety of training methods are described, including aerobic, anaerobic, weight/resistance, plyometric, circuit and interval training, and that an effective program usually includes a balance of aerobic and anaerobic exercises tailored to the demands of the individual's sport.
The document discusses the problems with traditional talent management processes. It states that the fundamental problem is that the objectives of these processes are often poorly defined. As a result, processes try to accomplish too many conflicting goals at once without doing any of them well. It advocates defining processes based on clear objectives, such as forecasting needs, evaluating performance, or developing employees, rather than using traditional labels. It also presents frameworks for assessing maturity levels in achieving the right people, right things, right way, and right development through talent management.

Career management practices and programmers
Many companies today are struggling with how to meet employee expectations regarding career development and advancement opportunities at a time when organizations are delayering and growth in the U.S. has slowed. In order to address this concern, E. L. Goldberg & Associates has collected career
management benchmark information and best practices from 34 organizations, representing a wide variety of industries. A supplemental study collected data from 75 professionals regarding how they define career success. Results indicate a significant shift in defining success in terms of intrinsic satisfiers versus the traditional more objective measures of success.
The benchmarking results reveal a major call to action for employers. Employees’ perceptions of career development and opportunities is frequently one of the lowest rated items on employee surveys, and research shows this is one of the top predictors of employee engagement. Despite this fact most companies subscribe to a philosophy of career self-reliance, essentially abdicating their responsibility for career management, leaving it up to the employee to figure out.
E. L. Goldberg & Associates believes that organizations can be more proactive in career management holding managers more accountable for understanding their employees’ career aspirations and educating employees on their career options. In addition, managers need to devote time to creating challenging opportunities that will contribute to individual career growth and development. This report outlines several best practices that participating companies utilize to facilitate career
management with both high-potential employees and the broader employee population.
These practices can have an impact on changing employees perceptions as two of the more innovative companies in this study reported that they created greater retention and career development satisfaction by providing people with development experiences versus simply a promotion. It is time for organizations to change their career management philosophies and become a more proactive partner in helping employees build their career.
The global marketplace and ever-changing workforce have created the need for organizations to engage human resources practices that recognize their human capital as their major competitive advantage. In fact, the current trends emphasize the growing demand for effective, creative recruitment and retention initiatives. Most human resources executives will cite the need to stay competitive with these initiatives as one of their biggest challenges. One of the basic principles to assist with this challenge is to embrace proactive and strategic career management practices that can provide you with a strong foundation for gaining a competitive edge.

This document discusses strategies for identifying and closing operational gaps through employee development. It recommends conducting regular employee performance evaluations to set goals, provide feedback, and identify training needs. Developing employees and promoting diversity can help organizations meet their goals. Evaluation results should be used to create development plans that align individual goals with business objectives. Providing training and opportunities to enhance skills can improve performance and close gaps.
This research proposal aims to study how LinkedIn Learning can improve employee performance as evaluated in performance reviews. The researchers hypothesize that LinkedIn Learning is an effective self-directed learning tool that can help employees gain skills and help leaders provide better coaching to employees. The study will use surveys to assess employee and leader perspectives on how LinkedIn Learning impacts the performance evaluation process. The literature review discusses what is known, such as benefits of social learning platforms and LinkedIn Learning, and what is unknown, such as potential downsides of personal data sharing and impacts on business performance. The theoretical framework discusses ubiquitous learning models and how always-available online learning platforms can influence learner motivation and transfer of skills to the professional environment.
This document appears to be an introductory section of a project report on employee training and development. The objectives are to lay the foundation for training and development at the author's organization and to improve the current training process. The scope involves exploring the field of human resources and gathering feedback to provide exposure. The research methodology will include an exploratory study through secondary data analysis and surveys, followed by a descriptive study using monitoring and interrogation to document the actual training process and suggest improvements. The limitations are the small sample size, reliance on respondent perceptions, and limited time for the study.
PrefaceTraditionally, training and development were not viewed a.docxharrisonhoward80223
Preface
Traditionally, training and development were not viewed as activities that could help companies create “value” and successfully deal with competitive challenges. Today, that view has changed. Companies that use innovative training and development practices are likely to report better financial performance than their competitors that do not. Training and development also help a company develop the human capital needed to meet competitive challenges. Many companies now recognize that learning through training, development, and knowledge management helps employees strengthen or increase their skills in order to improve or make new products, generate new and innovative ideas, and provide high-quality customer service. Also, development activities and career management are needed to prepare employees for managerial and leadership positions and to attract, motivate, and retain talented employees at all levels and in all jobs. An emphasis on learning through training, development, and knowledge management is no longer in the category of “nice to do”—they are a “must do” if companies want to gain a competitive advantage and meet employees’ expectations.
Businesses today must compete in the global marketplace, and the diversity of the workforce continues to increase. As a result, companies need to train employees to work with persons from different cultures, both within the United States and abroad. Technologies, such as social media, and tablet computers, such as the iPad, reduce the costs associated with bringing employees to a central location for training. At the same time, the challenge is ensuring that these training methods include the necessary conditions (practice, feedback, self-pacing, etc.) for learning to occur. Through the blended learning approach, companies are seeking the best balance between private, self-paced, technology-based training (such as online learning), and methods that allow interpersonal interaction among trainees (such as classroom instruction or active learning). Employees from the millennial generation are well versed in informal learning, especially through collaboration facilitated by social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Also, their gaming experiences lead them to expect that learning experiences will be fun, multidimensional, challenging, and provide immediate feedback and rewards.
The role of training has broadened beyond training program design. Effective instructional design remains important, but training managers, human resource experts, and trainers are increasingly being asked to create systems to motivate employees to learn, not only in programs but informally on the job; create knowledge; and share that knowledge with other employees in the company. Training has moved from an emphasis on a one-time event to the creation of conditions for learning that can occur through collaboration, online learning, traditional classroom training, or a combination of these methods. There is increased recog.

The document discusses training and development in organizations. It covers key topics like the importance of training, models of training, the training process, and training evaluation. Specifically, it outlines the systems model, instructional systems development model, and transitional model of training. It also describes the typical phases of training including needs analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation. Overall, the document provides an overview of training concepts and frameworks.
Unique Perspectives on Executive DevelopmentJames Hin
Effective executive development programs utilize a combination of methods including instructor-led sessions, assessments, social learning, and action learning projects. This blend drives individual growth through strengthened leadership skills and self-awareness, cohort growth via peer collaboration, and organizational growth by applying new skills to strategic objectives. Assessing metrics like engagement and culture before and after the program demonstrates the return on investment through improved performance, productivity, and long-term organizational success.
The document discusses the need for organizations to develop a Staff Development Philosophy (SDP) to engage and develop the new generation of employees, Generation Y. It defines an SDP as a guiding document that is aligned with an organization's strategic goals and focuses on developing employees' talents through continuous learning. An SDP should be a living document that changes along with employees. It also emphasizes that managers are key change agents who can lead through identifying employees' strengths and developing their talents. Committing to an SDP will benefit organizations by retaining motivated employees who are invested in the organization's success.
The case discusses improvements to safety management at Oneida Silversmiths. Oneida adopted an organizational approach to safety that included establishing safety committees, conducting risk assessments, implementing training programs, and tracking safety metrics. This systematic approach led to significant reductions in injuries, from 7.3 injuries per 100 workers to 1, and reductions in lost time incidents from 137 to fewer than 50 per year. The improved safety management contributed to higher efficiency, lower costs from fewer accidents, and an improved public image for Oneida.

Prof. T.V. Rao developed the HRD Matrix model to explain the interrelationships between human resource development instruments, processes, outcomes, and organizational effectiveness. The model includes HRD instruments like performance appraisal and training that lead to processes such as role clarity and development climate among employees. These processes should result in competent, satisfied, and dynamic employees, while the outcomes influence long-term organizational effectiveness along with other factors like the environment.
This document provides an overview of the course MMPH 002 (HRD) which covers topics related to human resource development including introduction to HRD, managing HRD, HRD in practice, emerging trends, and experiences. It discusses the importance of HRD in developing competent workforce, improving employee relations, providing career development opportunities, enhancing productivity, and improving job satisfaction. Key functions of HRD like training, career development, performance appraisal, and organizational development are also summarized. Challenges faced in HRD like changing workforce demographics, competing in a global economy, eliminating skills gaps, and meeting needs for lifelong learning are highlighted.
This PowerPoint presentation, titled "HR for Non HR: Learning & Development (L&D)," is designed to provide non-HR professionals with an understanding of the significance and components of L&D in the workplace. The deck covers topics such as the importance of acquiring new skills, the ongoing process of enhancing individual and organizational performance, and key facts highlighting the value of L&D. It also delves into the components of learning and development, including learning, development, training, and education. The presentation emphasizes the need for organizations to prioritize L&D to foster a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and adaptability.
Employee development is important for organizational growth and retaining talent. If not implemented properly, development can be frustrating and of little value. Effective development methods include coaching, mentoring, cross-training, stretch assignments, and online learning. Development must be supported by leadership and aligned with business needs. Common issues include lack of accountability, gaps in capabilities, and inconsistent execution. Overall, development requires commitment and a strategic, well-planned approach.

This document proposes a Competitive Branding & Development (CBD) model to evaluate the branding and competency of countries. The CBD model has two levels: individual branding and country branding.
Individual branding has three parts - competency branding, professional branding, and career management branding. Country branding focuses on collaboration, strategic human resource development, resources and competitiveness, and international relations.
The paper uses the UAE as a case study to examine how countries can utilize the CBD model parameters to evaluate their competency levels compared to other countries. The goal is to help countries strategically develop human capital and brand themselves through education, business partnerships, and cultural exchanges.

Unique Perspectives on Executive DevelopmentJames Hin
Effective executive development programs utilize a combination of methods including instructor-led sessions, assessments, social learning, and action learning projects. This blend drives individual growth through strengthened leadership skills and self-awareness, cohort growth via peer collaboration, and organizational growth by applying new skills to strategic objectives. Assessing metrics like engagement and culture before and after the program demonstrates the return on investment through improved performance, productivity, and long-term organizational success.
The document discusses the need for organizations to develop a Staff Development Philosophy (SDP) to engage and develop the new generation of employees, Generation Y. It defines an SDP as a guiding document that is aligned with an organization's strategic goals and focuses on developing employees' talents through continuous learning. An SDP should be a living document that changes along with employees. It also emphasizes that managers are key change agents who can lead through identifying employees' strengths and developing their talents. Committing to an SDP will benefit organizations by retaining motivated employees who are invested in the organization's success.
The case discusses improvements to safety management at Oneida Silversmiths. Oneida adopted an organizational approach to safety that included establishing safety committees, conducting risk assessments, implementing training programs, and tracking safety metrics. This systematic approach led to significant reductions in injuries, from 7.3 injuries per 100 workers to 1, and reductions in lost time incidents from 137 to fewer than 50 per year. The improved safety management contributed to higher efficiency, lower costs from fewer accidents, and an improved public image for Oneida.
A Complete Guide to Employee and Organizational DevelopmentAnayaGrewal
In this guide, we will look at what organization development is and its goals.
We’ll explore common interventions that organizations use to improve their effectiveness through OD processes, such as strategic planning or training programs for employees who work in different departments across the company’s hierarchy.
Prof. T.V. Rao developed the HRD Matrix model to explain the interrelationships between human resource development instruments, processes, outcomes, and organizational effectiveness. The model includes HRD instruments like performance appraisal and training that lead to processes such as role clarity and development climate among employees. These processes should result in competent, satisfied, and dynamic employees, while the outcomes influence long-term organizational effectiveness along with other factors like the environment.
This document provides an overview of the course MMPH 002 (HRD) which covers topics related to human resource development including introduction to HRD, managing HRD, HRD in practice, emerging trends, and experiences. It discusses the importance of HRD in developing competent workforce, improving employee relations, providing career development opportunities, enhancing productivity, and improving job satisfaction. Key functions of HRD like training, career development, performance appraisal, and organizational development are also summarized. Challenges faced in HRD like changing workforce demographics, competing in a global economy, eliminating skills gaps, and meeting needs for lifelong learning are highlighted.
This PowerPoint presentation, titled "HR for Non HR: Learning & Development (L&D)," is designed to provide non-HR professionals with an understanding of the significance and components of L&D in the workplace. The deck covers topics such as the importance of acquiring new skills, the ongoing process of enhancing individual and organizational performance, and key facts highlighting the value of L&D. It also delves into the components of learning and development, including learning, development, training, and education. The presentation emphasizes the need for organizations to prioritize L&D to foster a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and adaptability.
Employee development is important for organizational growth and retaining talent. If not implemented properly, development can be frustrating and of little value. Effective development methods include coaching, mentoring, cross-training, stretch assignments, and online learning. Development must be supported by leadership and aligned with business needs. Common issues include lack of accountability, gaps in capabilities, and inconsistent execution. Overall, development requires commitment and a strategic, well-planned approach.

This document proposes a Competitive Branding & Development (CBD) model to evaluate the branding and competency of countries. The CBD model has two levels: individual branding and country branding.
Individual branding has three parts - competency branding, professional branding, and career management branding. Country branding focuses on collaboration, strategic human resource development, resources and competitiveness, and international relations.
The paper uses the UAE as a case study to examine how countries can utilize the CBD model parameters to evaluate their competency levels compared to other countries. The goal is to help countries strategically develop human capital and brand themselves through education, business partnerships, and cultural exchanges.
This document discusses best practices for talent management. It provides 9 key practices: 1) Align talent strategy with business strategy; 2) Move talent managers from advisors to owners of the process; 3) Use success profiles to define needed skills; 4) Manage the entire talent pipeline, not just senior leaders; 5) Focus development resources on high potentials, not equal distribution; 6) Distinguish potential, performance, and readiness; 7) Focus on placing the right people in jobs; 8) Emphasis the "how" of execution over programs/tools; 9) Software supports but does not replace talent management.
This document provides an overview of a project report on employee training and development. The primary objective is to lay the foundation for training and development, while secondary objectives include improving current training processes and applying learning to human resources. The scope involves exploring the field of human resources and obtaining feedback on training processes. The report will cover topics like identifying training needs, different stages of training programs, and competitiveness of training. Research methodology will include exploratory and descriptive studies using interviews and questionnaires. The limitations are the small sample size and reliance on respondent perceptions.

The UN— “A More Perfect Union?”
Considering the readings, video presentations, and your own research, draft a quality 6–7-page research paper on the role, legitimacy, and authority of the UN according to the following prompts, answering in a separate or integrated manner as you wish.
Identify at least 3reasons that states might defend the intrinsic legitimacy of the UN as a governing authority. In reverse, identify at least 3reasons that states might criticize its legitimacy and authority.
In short, make an argument for the limits and possibilities of the UN as a legitimate governing authority in a world of sovereign states.
What is the relationship of the UN to the current international system of states?
Considering the reasons for the creation of the UN after WWII, does it seem driven by political necessity or the political utility? In plainer English, do states need the UN more than the UN needs the states? Or do states both large and small find the UN a useful tool for improving their relative power and legitimacy vis-à-vis other states and global institutions? Is there some position in-between?
Using other sources and extra-Scholar sources (The commentaries, teachings, other writings, etc.) to inform your own reasoning, comment on the compatibility with the idea of
World Government
. [
Attention
: The Instructor does not view the question as rhetorical, nor the answer self-evident. So, reason carefully.] For example, if the logic of collective action under the
Articles of Confederation
—the logic of state sovereignty—failed to secure American liberties as well as the ‘more perfect union’, the new Constitution established by the Framers in 1787 to replace it, effectively requiring states to cede sovereignty to a larger collective authority, why would the same logic of collective action not justify the UN as a ‘more perfect union’ to replace an anarchic system of sovereign states putting the world at risk in a nuclear age?

Managers do not have the luxury of abdicating participation in information
systems decisions. Managers who choose to do so risk limiting their future business
options. Information systems are at the heart of virtually every business interaction,
process, and decision, especially when one considers the vast penetration of the
Web in the last few years. Managers who let someone else make decisions about
their information systems are letting someone else make decisions about the
very foundation of their business. This is a textbook about managing and using
information, written for current and future managers as a way of introducing the
broader implications of the impact of information systems.
The goal of this book is to assist managers in becoming knowledgeable par-
ticipants in information systems decisions. Becoming a knowledgeable participant
means lear.

Discussion 6: Review of Four Indiana State Policies
In Chapter 9, St. John, Daun-Barnett, and Moronski-Chapman (2013) discuss four state policies in Indiana, which ensure low-income students have better chances of getting higher education opportunities. These state policies are the 21st Century Scholars (TFCS) program, Core 40, Indiana Project on Academic Success (IPAS), and the DREAM Act Bill. The State of Indiana and tuition facilitates the financing of these policies. Specifically, funding is attained through need-based student aid and public tuition charges. This coordination ensures that neither the parents nor the state is overwhelmed with funding the learners. Higher education institutions play a limited role in supporting these four state policies. These policies rely on financial incentives for students, colleges, and schools. Higher education systems play a tiny part in offering support services to students in this regard. Nevertheless, they have tried to implement retention projects through policies such as IPAS.
Regarding the outcome of these policies, for starters, they have improved academic preparation among students in high school. These students are better prepared to succeed in higher learning institutions. However, despite the academic preparation facilitated by the policies, there have been no notable improvements in high school graduation rates among the different racial/ethnic groups. Nevertheless, the SAT scores in Indiana have been considerably better compared to other states in the country (St. John, Daun-Barnett, & Moronski-Chapman, 2013). Also, degree completion, college access, and diversity have been remarkably good in Indiana due to these policies. Out of the four policies, the one that I feel has had the greatest success in eradicating inequalities, supporting students’ progress, and enhancing learners’ access to higher education is the TFCS program. This program not only funds needy students but also prepares them from an early age to be model citizens who do not engage in vices such as drug abuse. It guides both parents and students to take practices that will facilitate good learning outcomes.

Vera Discussion:
Hello all,
In higher education financing a student’s tuition is a critical part of enrollment and admissions. The principal component of the funding for state colleges and universities comes from the state government, and ultimately tax dollars. Federal money is available through loans and grants to students, but the schools are primarily depending on state support. Our textbook presented four different higher education plans from California, Indiana, M.

5 Establishing Organizational Objectives
iStock/Thinkstock
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what’s a heaven for?
—Robert Browning
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Describe the nature of objectives and the important role of—and management by—objectives in an HCO.
• Discuss the characteristics of good objectives.
• Delineate the types of objectives that are included in a strategic plan, and include examples of objectives for
key result areas.
• Provide an example of how to use data from an internal and external environmental analysis to set good
objectives.
• Explain how to perform a periodic review of objectives for measuring progress and making updates
as needed.
Section 5.1The Nature and Role of Objectives
Introduction
An HCO cannot achieve goals if none exist for the organization. Although this idea is quite
simple, many people overlook it. To accomplish anything, an organization must have a clear
understanding of what is to be accomplished. Strategic objectives are the tool by which
organizations define their goals and sketch out a specific road map for achieving them. If we
fail to set specific objectives, we simply waste our time and energy by going in circles. Later,
we look back at what we accomplished and wonder where the time went. Just being busy and
involved in activities does not mean that we are accomplishing what we need to accomplish.
This chapter focuses on the need to establish objectives, the characteristics of good objec-
tives, and the process of writing objectives. After the vision and mission of the HCO have been
defined, and the internal and external analyses completed, relevant objectives are developed
for the strategic plan.
5.1 The Nature and Role of Objectives
Objectives can be defined as clear, concise written statements outlining what is to be accom-
plished in key result areas in a certain time period, in measurable terms. Peter Drucker argues
that “objectives are not fate; they are direction. They are not commands, but they are com-
mitments. They do not determine the future, but they are the means by which the resources
and energies of the operation can be mobilized for the making of the future” (Drucker, 1954,
p. 102).
As noted in Chapter 2, the words key results, goals, and targets often are used synonymously
when talking about short- and long-term objectives. Whatever the label used, the idea is to
focus on a specific set of target activities and outcomes to be accomplished. Think of the anal-
ogy of the archer used in Chapter 2. An HCO administrator wants the whole organization
aimed at a single target, just as an archer wants every arrow aimed at the bull’s-eye. People
get confused and disorganized if they do not know where they are going. In large measure,
the success or failure of an HCO is based on its ability to set goals, as well as on tools with
which to measure progress toward those.

Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers who presented an example that was not in your response. What did you learn from the examples they presented? Are you now more aware of the challenge of change in health care?
Peer 1.Keneisha
- In health care, the consistency of handling change is constant. Change is an effect of snowball within a healthcare facility. Improvement in one area may or may not impact another establishment area irrespective of the correlations. Eventually, change affects the whole organization.
Electronic health records (EHR) and the Health Insurance Probability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) are two indicators of the healthcare industry. Although many resisted the change within the medical records and implemented EHR, the change made life much easier to navigate through with medical records. The move saved money and didn't have to use as many paper products. EHR made chart access and legibility much faster and easier to navigate through.
Within the change, HIPAA was a little more complex. HIPPA has been introduced to allow an individual to change jobs and not to complicate the coverage of the modified work transaction. HIPAA is meant to protect the protection of patient information and not to be widely distributed. This also included training in patient privacy and security issues for each health care staff members.
Reflecting on these two improvements show that once change is introduced, it can result in substantial change for the better and development of both staff and patients. Both need an open attitude and training, but implement a productive workflow.
Peer 2. Qiana
- Change is not always easy for anyone, and those in the healthcare field. Though change can be good because it can change or make the healthcare delivery systems better and meet those needs of their area. The healthcare environment continues to change and can be a challenge. With changing trends and concerns within healthcare settings, they can show the stages of life cycles within the organization and survival strategies. When rends change, there are changes that occur in case of patients and administrative support. (Liebler & McConnell, 2017). To ensure the survival of any organization change is essential to have a competitive edge in the healthcare environment. Often, for staff managers must be leaders during this process and try to make these changes go smoothly, because it can be difficult for employees.
Healthcare managers must be able to manage change, even though it may be complicated. Being able to manage change can be difficult but all involved must be able to adapt, and it is the job of the manager to inform employees as well as constituents and help them to understand why the change is a necessity and their roles even though it may be difficult.
The two examples of successful change I have chosen are Change as Opportunity: Y2K and A Study in Proactive Change: Electronic Health Records. The trn of the year 2.

Creating the Right
Development Experiences
Executing business strategies requires having the right people
doing the right things in the right way. Maintaining business
exe-
cution over time requires developing employees to meet
changing
business demands. This chapter discusses concepts associated
with
employee development. Emphasis is placed on integrating
develop-
ment methods to maximize business impact and addressing
process
design and organizational issues that often limit the
effectiveness of
development methods.
The term development refers to processes designed to build the
capabilities
of employees and leaders within the organization. It is a result
of giving people
experiences that enable them to acquire new skills, knowledge,
and insights. It
also involves providing tools that help people maximize the
learning obtained
from these experiences, as well as putting people in roles that
expose them to
novel tasks and environments, establishing relationships that

programs requires coordinating multiple talent activities toward
a common
goal. Second, development requires changing who employees
are in terms of
their skills, knowledge, and self-insights. Most strategic HR
processes use com-
munication and motivation to influence employee behavior. In
contrast, most
development methods are used to change the employee
attributes that underlie
different job behaviors (see figure 7.1). Changing people’s
underlying capabilities
by giving them new experiences, awareness, and knowledge
tends to be far more
difficult than changing their behaviors through giving them
direction, rewards,
and feedback. It can be likened to the difference between asking
someone to read
a document versus actually teaching this person how to read.
This chapter discusses several methods of development and
emphasizes the
importance of integrating them into a single development
program. Section 7.1
describes the four basic components of a development process.
Section 7.2 pro-
5. vides an overview of six major development methods. Section
7.3 discusses the
value of building integrated development programs and suggests
ways to do this.
One of the reasons many development programs struggle is that
they focus too
much on individual development methods by themselves and not
enough on
using multiple methods in a coordinated fashion (see the
discussion: “The 360
Survey Fad: A Lesson in Misguided Development”). Section 7.4
reviews seven
critical questions for designing and implementing integrated
development pro-
grams. Section 7.5 describes five levels of development process
maturity and dis-
cusses methods for achieving each level.

Companies often implement development methods like training,
360 sur-
veys, or succession management without fully defining how
these methods
will affect business needs or integrate with other strategic HR
processes.
What often happens in these situations is that a good
development
method fails because it is not targeting learning objectives that
really mat-
ter for the company’s strategy. The 360 survey fad that began in
the late
1990s is an excellent example of this happening on a
widespread basis.
These surveys are assessment measures that ask an employee’s
man-
ager, peers, and direct reports to provide ratings on the
employee’s
9. strengths and weaknesses. These surveys are used to provide
employees
with in-depth feedback to guide self-development. They were
considered
something of a major innovation when they were developed, and
many
HR departments and their consulting partners touted them as a
key tool
for developing employee performance. In a relatively short
amount of
time, 360 surveys were being used across a wide range of
companies.
Problems started to emerge as more and more companies rushed
to take
advantage of these surveys. Although they can be an effective
develop-
ment method in some situations, they do not work equally well
all the time.
And several studies were published showing that they can
actually decrease
performance if they are deployed in the wrong setting or using
the wrong
process.a This awakened people to the fact that 360 surveys
were not the
10. developmental silver bullet that many had hoped they would be.
The lesson to be learned from the 360 survey fad is that no
develop-
ment method is effective all the time. These surveys can be very
effec-
tive in some settings but not in others.
It is costly and potentially detrimental to implement
development
methods that are not well aligned with the company’s business
needs.
Development strategies should never start with the question,
“How can
we use this development method?” They should start with this
question
instead: “What are our business needs, and what learning
objectives
do we need to achieve to address them?” Only after this is
answered
should companies begin to consider what development methods
to use.

7.1 THE BASIC COMPONENTS OF A
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
The discussion in this chapter is built around understanding four
basic compo-
nents of development and how they interrelate: talent
requirements, learning
objectives, development methods, and development programs.
13. • Talent requirements: The term talent requirements is used
to describe things
employees in the workforce must be able to do in the future that
they may not
be able to do now. Most business strategies require employees
to do things in
the future that they have not done in the past such as performing
current tasks
more effectively and building qualifications to take on new
roles and respon-
sibilities. The purpose of development is ultimately to address
talent require-
ments. Talent requirements can be tied to specific operational
needs like “train
sales employees so they can demo the new mobile product
application,” or they
can reflect more general workforce capabilities like “maintain a
steady supply
of internal talent available to staff all of our global leadership
positions.”
• Learning objectives: Learning objectives describe the
attributes employ-
ees must develop to meet talent requirements. They define
specific types of
knowledge, skills, aptitudes, abilities, motives, and interests
that influence
employee performance now and in the future. Development is
used to help
employees achieve learning objectives that support the
company’s talent
requirements. Like talent requirements, learning objectives can
be specific
or more general—for example, “ensure employees know how to
install the
14. mobile product application onto their smart phones” or “educate
leaders on
methods for managing a virtual workforce.” Learning objectives
define what
capabilities employees need to develop. Talent requirements
define why they
need these capabilities.
• Development methods. Development methods are used to
achieve learning
objectives. There are six primary categories of development
methods: suc-
cession management, career planning, training resources, social
learning,
assessment measures, and transition management (see table 7.1).
All develop-
ment methods use a combination of three basic techniques to
build employee
capabilities: giving people roles that expose them to learning
experiences,
creating relationships that help employees learn from others,
and providing
resources that support the learning of new skills, knowledge
acquisition, and
self-insights.

performance and the other axis is used to
categorize employees based on three levels of potential.
22. • Development programs. A development program is a
process for leveraging
one or more development methods in combination with other
talent man-
agement activities to achieve learning objectives that address a
specific set
of talent requirements. Companies typically implement
development meth-
ods in combination with other activities to form integrated
development
programs.
An example illustrates how these four components come
together to create
an integrated development process. When a utility company
realized that over
25 percent of its skilled power line workers were eligible for
retirement, it iden-
tified a “talent requirement” to hire and develop internal talent
to fill these roles
within the next five years. To fill these roles, employees had to
achieve the learning
objectives of mastering technical skills needed to work the
lines, as well as gain

experience working on the line in specific types of challenging
environments (e.g.,
during storms or large-scale power outages). The company
designed a develop-
ment program that integrated four development methods:
succession manage-
ment to identify high-potential employees and determine who
could move into
specific roles over the next three to five years, career planning
to help high-poten-
tial employees map out the actions and experiences they needed
to be qualified
for more specialized jobs working on the line, training
resources to teach special-
ized technical skills to high-potential employees so they could
perform critical job
tasks, and social learning to build mentoring relationships
25. between high-potential
employees and highly experienced employees currently working
on the line.
Before you can create an effective development program, you
need to clearly
define the talent requirements the program will address,
determine the learning
objectives the program must support to meet those
requirements, and identify
what development methods make the most sense given the
program’s learning
objectives. Too often companies start with looking at
development methods first
and then try to show how these methods address talent
requirements. This is
akin to picking a solution first and then trying to find a problem
that matches it.
Remember that many business leaders don’t care a lot about
development meth-
ods, but all business leaders care about addressing talent
requirements that have
a direct impact on business performance. Start where their
interest lies.
7.2 THE SIX PRIMARY DEVELOPMENT METHODS
Table 7.1 summarizes the six methods commonly used to
support employee
development: succession management, career planning, training
resources,
social learning, assessment measures, and transition
management. The names
used for these categories highlight what is unique about each
method in terms of
its focus and design.1
28. rv

Commonsense Talent Management256
workforce planning, staffing, and career planning to forecast,
identify, develop,
and place talent in critical positions.
Career planning methods help employees define strategies to
achieve their
career goals. Career planning focuses on acquiring skills and
building compe-
tencies to take on new roles and responsibilities and improve
effectiveness in
current roles. Career planning can be thought of as the flip side
of succession
management. Succession management takes a top-down
organization-based
approach to ensure a supply of talent for future business
demands. In contrast,
career planning uses a bottom-up employee-based approach to
build individual
skills to meet requirements for future jobs or job assignments.
Training resources are structured classes, workshops, webinars,
books, and
other resources used to provide employees with specific
knowledge, skills, and
insights. Training resources are often deployed using learning
management sys-
29. tems (LMS), which are technology platforms that coordinate,
deliver, and man-
age costs associated with providing training resources to a
company’s workforce.
Training resources can be delivered in person, online, or
through books or other
materials. They are typically used to help employees more
effectively perform
their current jobs and achieve their future career goals. Training
resources are also
used to comply with regulations that ensure employees are
qualified to perform
specific tasks or understand key job policies. Training resources
tend to fall into
two categories: formally developed activities created and
delivered by professional
instructional designers and educators, and informally developed
activities built
and delivered by employees themselves (e.g., employee-created
training videos).
Social learning methods create personal relationships that
support employee
development. These methods emphasize development through
social interac-
tion. Social learning methods tend to fall into two categories:
methods focused
on creating one-to-one development, such as mentoring and
coaching relation-
ships, and methods focused on creating learning communities
such as online
groups where employees with common development goals can
share questions,
ideas, and suggestions.
Assessment measures are structured tools used to evaluate
32. Creating the Right Development Experiences 257
• Personality questionnaires, simulation exercises, and other
structured tools
that measure underlying work style, decision-making abilities,
and career
interests
• Tests where employees must answer questions or perform
tasks that demon-
strate proficiency with regard to specific knowledge and skills
Transition management methods focus on helping employees
assimilate
to new jobs and work environments. The methods tend to fall
into two cat-
egories: onboarding programs that help newly hired employees
adjust to their
roles within the organization and role transition programs to
support internal
job transfers within a company, such as moving from an
individual contributor
to a managerial position. Most transition management methods
focus on pro-
viding administrative information that people need to perform
their jobs (e.g.,
instructions on how to fill out expense reports), training on job-
relevant skills
(e.g., product training for new salespeople), and socialization
activities designed
to help people adjust to the company and culture (e.g.,
establishing “new hire
buddies” who help new employees adjust to the organization).
Companies often treat these methods as individual activities
33. rather than differ-
ent parts of a single development program. Similarly, many HR
professionals will
specialize in one or two of these methods without recognizing
how the methods
they support can and should integrate with other methods. The
result is that com-
panies often fail to realize the value that comes from
approaching all six methods
as parts of a single integrated process for developing workforce
capabilities.
7.3 APPROACHING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FROM
AN INTEGRATED PERSPECTIVE
Creating an integrated development program requires aligning
different devel-
opment methods so they support one another in a coherent
fashion. For exam-
ple, succession management methods often use assessment
measures to identify
leadership potential, training resources to develop leadership
skills, and social
learning to establish high-potential mentorships and learning
communities. It
makes sense to think of succession management, assessment
measures, training
resources, and social learning as all being components of a
single development
program. Yet companies do not always think of development
this way.
One of the reasons for poorly integrated development programs
is a ten-
dency for companies to treat the six methods listed in table 7.1
as separate
35. e
Le
ad
er

.
Commonsense Talent Management258
programs managed by separate groups. For example, training
resources, suc-
cession management, and career planning are often administered
by different
groups within a company. The problem becomes worse when
each group uses
its own set of tools and technology without planning how to
36. share data and
information with the others. Different development groups may
even compete
against one another for resources rather than collaborating to
build integrated
development programs. It sometimes feels as if the only things
integrating dif-
ferent development methods in these companies are the
employees who have
to use them.
One can argue that companies need separate departments for
these meth-
ods since each one requires attending to a variety of unique
details and logis-
tics. This may be true, but these methods are still fundamentally
tied together by
a common focus on building employee capabilities. They work
best when they
are coordinated with each other. The best way to create
integrated development
programs is to treat all development methods as aspects of the
same overall
function. People charged with designing and supporting
different development
methods should be encouraged to work together, leverage
common technologies
and models, and create direct links between each other’s
processes.
It is also common for the six development methods described in
table 7.1
to be deployed as separate activities rather than presenting them
as integrated
programs. Organizations frequently emphasize going live with
individual devel-
37. opment methods in as a short a time as possible rather than
taking time to coor-
dinate multiple development methods into a single program.
Implementing
development methods in isolation can be easier than deploying
an integrated
development program. Although there is value in getting
development meth-
ods up and running quickly, failure to tie development methods
together can
result in a poor use of resources. Even worse, it can lead to
abandoning develop-
ment methods because they cannot be sustained as isolated
activities. The his-
tory of human resources is littered with defunct development
methods that were
launched with great fanfare, only to be dropped because they
were never effec-
tively linked into the broader talent management strategy.
Understanding common threads and interdependencies across
development
methods allows companies to leverage development resources
for multiple pur-
poses and avoid duplication of effort. Creating integrated
development programs
also allows managers and employees to experience development
as a coherent

sequence of steps rather than a disjointed series of events. It
also decreases the
risk of creating development methods that conflict with one
another, such as
encouraging employees to pursue career plans that do not align
with the com-
pany’s succession management needs.
Adopting the following perspectives helps to ensure that
development pro-
grams are designed with integration in mind:
• All development methods should leverage other
development methods.
40. • All development is based on roles, relationships, and
resources, and the
most effective development programs use methods cutting
across these three
areas.
• Development is most effective when it is integrated into
ongoing business
operations.

Figure 7.2 illustrates some ways the six primary development
methods inter-
relate. Every development method provides information or tools
that can be
used to support each of the other five methods. For example,
succession man-
agement influences the kinds of career planning that should be
encouraged
among employees. Employees’ career plans affect the types of
training resources
and social learning the company will want to support. A
company’s training
resources and social learning methods will influence how it
designs and uses
assessment measures. No development method should be
approached in isola-
tion. How you design and use one method should influence and
be influenced
by how you use the other methods.
In addition, do not assume that one type of development method
is inher-
ently more valuable or important than another. The method that
41. is most impor-
tant depends on the circumstance. A company may allocate
more money to
support training resources than to support succession
management, but that
does not mean training is always more critical to business
success than succes-
sion. The value of development methods depends on the talent
requirements
facing the organization.

Designing Recruiting and
Staffing Processes
Running a successful business depends on having the right peo-
ple in the right roles to effectively execute its strategies. The
most important decision a company makes about its employees
is
to hire them. Every other action made about employees is a
direct
result of that initial decision to bring them into the
organization.
Despite the strategic importance of hiring, many companies
have treated
42. recruiting as a largely administrative process.1 Rather than
focusing on the busi-
ness value associated with hiring, recruiters often focus on
increasing the num-
ber of job requisitions processed, with little emphasis on how
the newly hired
people perform after they join the company. As one person put
it, “HR depart-
ments that focus on number of hires instead of quality of hires
might as well
measure effectiveness by the kilos of people they’ve employed.”
Fortunately, the
growing influence of strategic HR is steadily changing the focus
from quantity to
quality of hiring. This is the result of several factors:
• Scarcity of skilled talent. Experienced recruiters know
there is always a lim-
ited supply of qualified high performers available to fill skilled
jobs at the sal-
ary companies want to pay them. This skill shortage is growing
due to the
increasing complexity of jobs, decreasing birth rates in many
countries, and
more intensive competition for talent around the globe.2 Do not
be fooled by
overall unemployment statistics. There may be more people
available in the

job market in general, but that does not mean they are people
who have the
skills and competencies needed to support your company’s
strategies.
• Cost of labor. As the supply of skilled labor decreases, its
cost increases.
Companies cannot afford to make hiring mistakes given how
much it costs to
bring people into the organization. There is also the insidious
problem of hir-
45. ing marginal performers and having them stay. In many
countries, it is both
difficult and costly to fire someone for underperformance.
• Importance of human capital. The past thirty years have
seen a steady shift
from a resource-based to a knowledge- and service-based
economy. In today’s
market, competitive advantage depends less on what companies
own and more
on whom they employ. Your company’s ability to hire skilled,
high-performing
employees simultaneously supports the goals of your business
while depriving
your competitors of the talent they may need to compete against
you.
Recruiting was once seen as a back-office function that was
often outsourced
as a commodity service. It is now becoming a key differentiator
in the emerging
war for talent. Winning this war requires rethinking key
questions around what
makes a good recruiting process.
This chapter is organized into three sections. Section 4.1
discusses fundamen-
tal changes in how companies are thinking about recruiting and
the growing
emphasis on creating more collaborative, quality-focused
recruiting processes
that balance hiring quality with hiring efficiency. Section 4.2
discusses nine key
questions to ask when designing a recruiting process. There is
no one best way to
do recruiting, but the best recruiting processes all address these
46. questions thor-
oughly. Section 4.3 discusses different levels of recruiting
process maturity that
can be used to guide the creation of a long-term road map for
achieving recruit-
ing excellence.
4.1 RECRUITING TO SUPPORT BUSINESS EXECUTION
From a strategic perspective, the goal of recruiting is not simply
to hire people
into the organization. Rather, it is to efficiently place and retain
the right people in
the right roles to effectively support the company’s business
strategies. This
is a significant change from how some recruiting departments
traditionally
viewed their role (see the discussion: “From Processing
Candidates to Hiring
Performers: The Changing Role of Recruiting”). Organizations

recruiting with a strategic mindset are distinguished by the
emphasis they place
on five key topics: quality of hire, quality of sourcing,
networking and relation-
ships, hiring manager involvement, and integrated talent
management.

The past thirty years have seen significant changes in the field
of
recruiting. Prior to the advent of the Internet, much of what
recruit-
ers did was associated with the basic identification and
processing of
candidates. Recruiting tended to be an administrative function
focused
49. on placing want ads, processing and sorting job applications,
and set-
ting up candidate interviews. Some companies also tasked
recruiters
with handling the paperwork for new employees. The Internet
freed
recruiting departments from much of this administrative burden
and
allowed them to streamline the recruiting function significantly.
But
recruiting still tended to be judged on process metrics such as
time to
fill and number of people hired. Staffing departments were
rarely held
accountable for the performance of new employees. Nor were
they
expected to challenge managers on whether it made more sense
to fill
positions internally or externally.
The growing importance of strategic HR is shifting recruiting
from a
focus on hiring efficiency to a focus on staffing effectiveness.
Recruiting
50. departments are still held accountable for efficiently processing
and
rapidly placing candidates. But the difference between
administra-
tive recruiting departments and strategic ones lies in the ability
to fill
positions with the best-performing candidates at the lowest cost.
This
requires recruiters to collaborate with hiring managers to ensure
they
accurately define job requirements, tapping into the social
networks of
hiring managers and other employees to find the best
candidates, using
rigorous candidate selection methods that validly predict future
job
performance, and extending recruiting beyond the hiring
decision to
accelerate and track job performance after employees have been
hired.

4.1.1 Quality of Hiring Decisions
Even slight improvements in the quality of hiring can have a
massive finan-
cial impact on organizational performance.3 For example, by
changing its hir-
ing methods, a call center company was able to increase
retention of call center
agents by about one week. This may not seem like a lot, but
given the costs of
hiring and the fact that the company hired more than one
thousand agents every
year, this small increase in retention added up to millions of
53. dollars in savings.
Quality of hiring can also make or break companies when it
comes to staffing
critical leadership and technical positions. For example,
consider the financial
benefits associated with hiring the right merchandise buyers in a
retail company
or the costs associated with putting the wrong person in charge
of quality con-
trol in a manufacturing plant.
Strategic HR organizations know the value of the quality of
hiring and con-
stantly emphasize it to line-of-business leaders (see “Getting
Hiring Managers to
Take Recruiting Seriously”). They review every step in the
recruiting process
based on how it will affect the company’s ability to attract and
select the best per-
formers. Recruiters are evaluated not just on time to fill
positions but on the
performance and retention of employees they help bring into
the company. A
quick way to assess whether an organization has a mind-set
based on quality of
hiring is to ask recruiters, “How do you know if you effectively
filled a position?”
A quality-oriented recruiter will focus on measuring how
candidates perform
after they are hired and will not simply review metrics related
to sourcing and
screening candidates.

54. You might think that hiring managers would be obsessive about
hiring
the best employees possible. After all, they are the ones who
directly
benefit or suffer from a good- or bad-quality hiring decision.
However,
this is not always true. Many managers only think about
recruiting
when they have open positions on their teams. And when this
happens,
they often think about filling the position as fast as possible
without
thinking too much about whether the person they are hiring is
truly the
best candidate available. In essence, they view recruiting more

operational inconvenience than as a valuable opportunity to
improve
the quality of the people on their teams. These managers often
resist
investing more time than is absolutely necessary to define job
require-
ments, source and select candidates, and onboard new
employees.
The best way to shift hiring managers’ mind-sets toward
recruiting is
to make sure they are fully aware of the costs and benefits
associated
with hiring decisions. Before beginning the recruiting process,
57. ask man-
agers these questions:
• What is the minimum financial impact this
position will have on
your department and the company overall? The typical
assumption
is that employees will contribute revenue to the company that is
at
least equal to twice their cost in salary and benefits. In other
words,
we pay people with the assumption that the value they provide
to
the company is greater than what we pay them. So how much is
this
position worth? Remember to take into account that we
probably
expect this person to stay in this position for at least a few
years so
his or her annual financial contributions will be multiplied by
his or
her expected tenure.
• What is the maximum financial impact of
this position if we hire a
58. top performer? Studies show that top-performing employees
often
generate three or more times the revenue of average performers.
How much financial value would come from hiring the
absolutely
best candidate into this role?
• What is the cost of poor performance?
People sometimes say
employees are our most valuable assets, but employees who
perform
poorly can be an expensive liability. How much damage could
realis-
tically be caused by making a poor hiring decision?
• Taking all this into account, how much
financial value is associated
with this hiring decision? What is the difference in the
value of
a good decision versus the cost of a poor one? To put this in
per-
spective, think about the last time you invested this much
money
to purchase equipment, acquire materials, or enter into a service
contract agreement with a vendor. How much time did you
61. the quality of
who applies. The field of candidate sourcing has been radically
changed by the
Internet. Companies can now easily and quickly source
candidates from hun-
dreds of online job sites and social networking systems.
Companies with inte-
grated strategic HR technology systems can also source internal
candidates by
scanning databases of current employees. This ready access to
so many candi-
dates is a mixed blessing, however. On the positive side,
companies can find
qualified candidates for jobs regardless of where they are
located around the
globe. On the negative side, companies can be inundated with
thousands of
applications from unqualified candidates.
Sourcing is much less about the number of candidates and much
more about
their quality. Sourcing has become so important that there is
now a specialized field
of recruiting marketing that uses sophisticated web tools to
attract candidates and
rapidly sort through applicants and workforce data to find
sources that yield the
best candidates with the least cost. The specialized technology
and workforce ana-
lytics applications associated with recruiting marketing enable
companies to find,
attract, and engage high-quality candidates with the minimal
investment possible.
4.1.3 Relationships and Networking
Recruiters use a variety of methods for finding job candidates,
62. but often they
find the best-quality candidates through networking.
Networking is particularly
and making the purchasing decision? Doesn’t it make sense to
spend
an equal amount of time on the recruiting process to ensure you
hire the best employee possible?
I have had this sort of discussion with many line-of-business
leaders.
Almost every conversation ended with leaders expressing a
sense of sur-
prise and appreciation about the importance of hiring the best
people
possible. The exceptions were leaders who already understood
that one
of the most important business decisions they ever made was
deciding
who to bring onto their teams. In either case, the result is
greater will-
ingness to collaborate with HR departments to build and deploy
more
effective recruiting processes.

valuable when hiring for positions that require specialized
experience. These
positions tend to be filled by people who have extensive
networks of professional
colleagues. As one recruiter explained, “When hiring for a
skilled position, the
ideal candidate is probably a person whom either the hiring
manager or one of
65. the manager’s colleagues already knows. Hiring managers are
rarely more than
two degrees of separation from the best candidate.”
Networking is effective for several reasons. First, managers and
employees
are likely to recommend better-quality candidates since they
don’t want to work
with people whom they view as incompetent or unmotivated.
Second, the best
candidates tend to be currently employed elsewhere. These so-
called passive
candidates already have jobs and may not take notice of job
postings, but they
may respond to an inquiry about a job opportunity from
someone they know.
A third benefit of networking is that it does not cost a lot of
money, unlike job
postings, which can be associated with hefty fees.
Strategic HR organizations embrace networking for finding and
attracting
the best candidates. They invest in tools to help recruiters build
and maintain
pools of qualified candidates they can leverage for future
hiring. They instruct
recruiters on how to leverage the networks of line-of-business
managers and
employees. They also provide employees with tools and rewards
that encourage
everyone in the organization to play a part in finding high-
quality talent. This
includes making use of internal and external social networking
technology and
sites—for example, providing employees with tools that allow
them to share job
66. openings with people they may know through public social
networking sites
such as Facebook or LinkedIn.
4.1.4 Hiring Manager Involvement
A common problem in recruiting is a tendency for hiring
managers to distance
themselves from the actual recruiting process. Rather than
collaborating with
recruiters, some hiring managers assume they can give the
recruiter a job requi-
sition and that two weeks later they will be presented with the
perfect candidate.
Strategic HR organizations stress the need to keep hiring
managers and other
line employees actively engaged throughout the recruiting
process. They use col-
laboration tools that give managers visibility into the types of
candidates being
sourced and selected. For example, online databases make it
easy for recruiters
to share potential candidates with hiring managers and allow
hiring managers to
make comments and suggestions to the recruiters about
candidate qualifications.

These tools help managers compare candidates, get a sense of
the quality in the
available talent pool, and exchange thoughts and opinions with
other members
of the recruiting team. This allows managers and recruiters to
jointly deter-
mine if they should expand, reduce, or otherwise redefine the
scope of the job
or candidate search based on the talent available. Emphasis is
also placed on
using interview processes that allow multiple stakeholders to
evaluate candidates
(e.g., allowing coworkers to participate in the interview
process).
Actively involving hiring managers and other employees in the
sourcing and
69. selection process improves the quality of applicants and ensures
that line leader-
ship feels a sense of ownership around the final hiring decision.
Involving multi-
ple employees in the hiring process also helps with bringing
new employees into
the organization because they have already met and established
a connection
with many of their future coworkers. Of course, there is an
efficiency trade-off in
terms of the time required for more people to participate in the
hiring process.
But in general, few hiring decisions should be made by a single
person acting
without involvement from their colleagues.
4.1.5 Integrated Talent Management
Recruiting is something people often think about only when
there is a job
vacancy in their group. Hiring is thus treated as an isolated
event that lives
outside the ongoing talent management process. The most
effective strategic
HR organizations campaign against this limited view of
recruiting. They view
recruiting not just about filling positions but as a key part of a
broader set of
strategic HR processes. It is about creating talent flows within
the organization
through integrating staffing, employee development, succession
management,
and career planning. Recruiting may not be something that’s
done every day, but
it is something that needs to be kept constantly in mind,
especially during times
of large-scale company growth or change.
72. rv

Right People 67
positions should be used to build the capabilities of existing
employees or to
bring in new skills from outside.
• Workforce planning and job design. The best time to
source talent is before
you need it. Recruiters should not passively wait for line
managers to come to
them with open requisitions and then go out looking for
candidates. Strategic
HR organizations create ongoing discussions between recruiters
and line
managers about the company’s business strategies and future
hiring needs
necessary to support them. This includes anticipating the need
to fill potential
vacancies for existing jobs and forecasting the need to staff new
types of jobs
to support ongoing business growth.
The five themes of hiring quality, sourcing quality, relationship
recruiting,
manager involvement, and integrated talent management should
be reinforced
throughout the design of recruiting processes. Keeping these
themes in mind
will decrease the risk of creating recruiting processes that may
73. be efficient but
provide questionable value when it comes to supporting
business execution.
4.2 CRITICAL RECRUITING DESIGN QUESTIONS
There is no one best way to do recruiting. What works
extremely well for a
regional health care organization may be disastrous for a
multinational software
company. The processes that are appropriate for hiring new
college graduates are
much different from those used to hire senior executives. But
companies that have
the most successful recruiting processes typically have one
thing in common: they
have carefully thought through the following recruitment design
questions:
1. What types of jobs are we hiring for?
2. How many people will we need to hire, and when will we
need them?
3. What sort of people do we need to hire? What attributes do
candidates
need to possess to become effective employees?
4. What roles will hiring managers, recruiters, coworkers, and
candidates
play in the hiring process?
5. How will we source candidates?

6. How will we select candidates?
7. How will we get newly hired employees up to full
productivity?
8. How will we retain employees after they are hired?
9. How will we measure recruiting success and improve our
76. processes over time?
The answers to these questions will vary from organization to
organization.
But failure to adequately address any of them will almost
always result in a
flawed recruiting process.
4.2.1 What Types of Jobs Are We Hiring For?
When it comes to recruiting, not all jobs are created equal. The
methods needed
to effectively fill jobs vary widely depending on the job type.
Table 4.1 provides
a description of four broad categories of jobs and discusses how
each one influ-
ences recruiting process design:
• Pivotal jobs are positions where differences in
performance have huge
impacts on business performance. Recruiting for these jobs
places a strong
emphasis on hiring the best candidates possible.
• Critical jobs are crucial for business operations and
require specialized skills
and capabilities. Recruiting for these jobs depends heavily on
having effective
sourcing strategies.
• High-volume jobs are positions where companies hire
hundreds or even
thousands of employees a year. These positions require
automated recruiting
processes that can efficiently source and screen large numbers
of candidates
without overwhelming recruiters or hiring managers.
