MANPOWER PLANNING Company Strategy Job Analysis What staff do we need to do the job? What staff is available within our organization? Is there a match?? What is the impact on Wage and Salary program If not, what type of people do we need, and how should we recruit them? • Performance Appraisal •Company Databanks • Training •Employee Management and Development JOB ANALYSIS Job analysis is a formal and systematic process used for obtaining information about the job. It is an investigation of duties and responsibilities necessary to do a job Determination of tasks which comprise the job and of skills, knowledge, abilities and responsibilities required of the worker for a successful performance and which differentiates one job from all others. Job Description Job Analysis Job Specification USES OF JOB ANALYSIS Planning Recruitment and Selection Training Performance Appraisal Job Design Job Evaluation METHODS OF COLLECTING JOB ANALYSIS DATA Personal Observation Interview of Employee and Supervisors Put the worker at ease Make the purpose of interview clear Phrase question in such a way that the answer will be in YES or NO Summarize the information obtained before closing the interview Panel of Experts Diary Method Questionnaire Method IMPACT OF BEHAVIOURAL FACTORS ON JOB ANALYSIS Exaggerate he Facts Employee Anxieties Resistance to change JOB DESCRIPTION It defines the purpose and scope of a job. Describes what job is all about, what are job content, environment and conditions of employment. Contents: A job description usually covers the following information: Designation Corporate Grade Reporting To Position Reporting to this Position Sample Job Description 1 Sample Job Description 2 Qualifications Experience Job Summary Main Responsibilities PROBLEMS WITH JOB DESCRIPTION It is not easy to reduce all the essential components of the job in the form of a clear and precise document. Job description are sometimes not updated as the job duties change The can limit he scope of activities of the job holder, reducing organizational flexibility. JOB SPECIFICATION Job specification summarizes the characteristics needed for completing a job. It spells out the important attributes of a person in terms of education, experience, skills, knowledge and abilities to perform a particular job. This helps the organization to determine what kind of persons are needed to take up specific jobs. Job specifications can be classified into three categories: Essential Attributes Desirable Attributes Contra-Indicators JOB EVALUATION Job analysis also helps in finding the relative worth of a job based on criteria such as: Degree of difficulty in the work Type of work done by the employee Skills and knowledge needed This, in turn, assists in designing proper wage policies, with internal pay equity between jobs. IMPORTANCE OF MANPOWER PLANNING Talent pool Prepare people for future Smooth transition during expansion Succession Planning Support to overall business strategy PROCESS OF HRP Forecasting the demand for Human Resources • Organisational Decisions • Workforce Factors Supply Forecasting • Internal Labor Supply • External Labour Supply Determining Manpower Gaps and Formulating HR Plans FACTORS OF MANPOWER PLANNING Factors in forecasting Personnel Requirements Projected Turnovers (as a result of resignation and terminations) Quality and Nature of your Employees (in relation to what you see as the changing needs of your organisation) The financial resources available to your organisation TECHNIQUES TO DETERMINE NO. OF RECRUITS Trend Analysis Study of a firm’s past employment needs over a period of years to predict future needs. Ratio Analysis A forecasting technique for determining future needs by using ratios between sales volume and no. of Employee needed. RECRUITMENT FROM EXTERNAL RESOURCES • Recruiting new staff from external sources will be influenced by several factors Macro Economic Conditions of a Nation When the economic conditions are relatively difficult, there will usually be an oversupply, or the no. of applicants will be much higher than the demand. In such a case the company will find it relatively easier to select new employees from the large no of applicants. RECRUITMENT FROM EXTERNAL RESOURCES Availability of When the sector is one that is considered as ‘Rare Manpower Sector’, the company will have more difficulty in in Desired recruiting staff for this sector. Sector Company It will tend to be easier for company to find and recruit the best people if the company has a good Reputation reputation. RECRUITMENT DEFINITION Recruitment is a process of locating and encouraging potential applicants to apply for existing or anticipated job openings. Recruitment aims at Attracting a large no. of qualified applicants who are ready to take up the job if its offered Offering enough information for unqualified persons to self-select themselves out CONSTRAINTS AND CHALLENGES Poor image Unattractive jobs Limited budgetary support Restrictive policies of government Compensation not matching as per the industry standard Economic Environment Social Environment METHODS OF RECRUITMENT Methods of Recruitment METHODS OF RECRUITMENT Internal Method Promotions and Transfers Job Posting Employee Referrals Direct Method Campus Recruitment Indirect Method Advertisement Private Employment Search firms Internet Recruitment EFFECTIVENESS OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS Cost per hire Time-lapse between recruitment and placement ratio Applicant’s performance Turnover SELECTION DEFINITION To select means to choose. Selection is the process of picking individuals who have relevant qualifications to fill jobs in an organization. The basic purpose is to choose the individual who can most successfully perform the job, from the pool of qualified candidates. How well an employee is matched to a job is very important because it directly affects the amount and quality of the employee’s work. SELECTION PROCESS Selection Interview BASIC CONCEPT OF SELECTION TEST The quality of an employee selection test is determined by the three main factors: Criterion Validity: A type of validity based on showing that scores on the test (predictors) are related to the job performance (criterion). Content Validity: Test that contains fair sample of tasks and skills actually needed for the job. Reliability: The consistency of scores obtained by same person when retested with identical or equivalent test. SELECTION TESTING Intelligence Test / Aptitude Test Personality Test Confidence, Emotional balance, behavioral pattern, interpersonal skills, motivation level etc. Simulation tests Assessment Centre Interview TYPES OF INTERVIEW Several types of interviews are commonly used depending on the nature and importance of the position to be filled: Non-directive / Unstructured Interview Directive / Structured Interview Situational Interview Behavioural Interview – STAR Technique Stress Interview Panel Interview INTERVIEWING MISTAKES Not asking right question and hence not getting relevant responses Snap Judgments May allow ratings to be influenced by his own likes and dislikes May have forgotten the interview’s content after its conclusion Unduly influenced by person origin, cultural background etc. Halo Affect – Positive Horn Affect – Negative Have been under pressure to hire candidates at short notices INDUCTION MEANING AND OBJECTIVE Meaning: Induction means the task of introducing the new employees to the organization and is policies, procedures and rules. Objective: Remove fears Creates good impression Acts as a valuable source of information INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED Explain about the company Show the department Introduce with the colleagues Introduction with the reporting heads Overview of the Job responsibilities, Seating place and relationship with other job Give the company’s manual to the new recruits Company policies, rules and disciplinary procedure Give the details about pay, benefits, holidays, leave, etc. Idea about work culture Future training opportunities Career Path PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL WHAT IS PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL Performance Appraisal (PA) refers to all those procedures/tools that are used to evaluate employees Personality Performance Potential of employees PA is the method of evaluating the behaviour of the employees in the workplace, normally including both quantitative and qualitative aspect of the job How the employee is performing How the employee can develop others Planning and organising skills Initiative OBJECTIVE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL Provide information about performance ranks Provide a basis for promotion and increments. Enhances employees’ effectiveness by helping to identify their strengths and weaknesses Informs about expected levels of performance Identify Training and Development needs Remove work alienation: Counseling Employees Develop Inter-personal relationship Career planning decisions PROCESS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL Establishing Performance Standards JD Goals SMART Goal Discussion with employees Communic ating Standards Measure Actual Performance Comparing With Standard Providing Feedback METHODS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL Individual Evaluation Method: Confidential report Essay evaluation Critical Incidents Graphic Rating Scale 360 Degree Feedback Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale MBO METHODS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL Multiple Person evaluation Method: Ranking Paired comparison 1. CONFIDENTIAL REPORT Descriptive report Prepared at the end of the year Prepared by the employee’s immediate supervisor The report highlights the strengths and weaknesses of employees Prepared in Government organizations Does not offer any feedback to the employee 2. ESSAY EVALUATION The rater is asked to express the strong as well as weak points of employee’s behavior The rater considers the employee’s : Job knowledge and potential Understanding of company’s programs, policies, objectives etc Relation with co-workers and supervisors Planning, organizing and controlling ability Attitude and perception 2. ESSAY EVALUATION This method has the following limitations: Highly subjective Supervisor may write biased essay Difficult to find effective writers A busy appraiser may write the essay hurriedly without assessing properly the actual performance of the worker If the appraiser takes a long time it becomes uneconomical from the view point of the firm 3. CRITICAL INCIDENT TECHNIQUE Manager prepares lists of statements of very effective and ineffective behavior of an employee These critical incidents represent the outstanding or poor behavior of the employees The manager periodically records critical incidents of employee’s behavior 3. CRITICAL INCIDENT TECHNIQUE Limitation of this technique are: Negative incidents may be more noticeable than positive incidents. Supervisors have a tendency to unload a series of complaints about incidents. Results in very close supervision which may not be liked by the employee. The recording of incidents may be a chore for the manager concerned who may be too busy or forget to do it. 4. GRAPHIC RATING SCALE This is the oldest and most widely method used for performance appraisal. The appraiser has to rate the appraisee in different parameter on a scale of 5. Job Knowledge as a parameter might be rated 1 (poorly informed about work duties) to 5 (has complete mastery of all phases of the job). Graphic Rating Scale Employee Name................... Job title ................. Department ......................... Rate ............... Data .................................. Quantity of work: Volume of work under normal working conditions Quality of work: Neatness, thoroughness and accuracy of work Knowledge of job A clear understanding of the factors connected with the job Attitude: Exhibits enthusiasm And cooperativeness on the job Unsatisfactory Fair Satisfact (1) (2) ory (3) Good Out (4) Stand in g (5) BEHAVIOURALLY ANCHORED RATING SCALE (BARS) Combination of Rating Scale and Critical Incidents Techniques of employees performance evaluation. The critical incidents serve as anchor statements on a scale of ratings. Rating forms usually contains six to eight specifically defined performance dimensions. HOW TO CONSTRUCT (BARS) Emphasis is pinpointed on pooling the thinking of people who will use the scales as both evaluators and evaluees. Step I: Collect ‘Critical Incidents’ from Job Holders & Supervisors. Step II: Identify performance dimensions – Technical competence, Relationship with customers, relationship with peers, meeting day to day deadline etc. HOW TO CONSTRUCT (BARS) Step III: Reclassification of Incidents: Another group of participants are asked to retranslate the critical incidents Step IV: Assigning scale values to the incidents. Mean and standard deviation are calculated for the scale value assigned to each incident. Step V: Producing final instrument. Each incident is positioned on the scale according to its mean value. ADVANTAGES & LIMITATIONS OF BARS Increased acceptance by supervisors and superiors Job specific Identifies observable and measurable behaviour Reliable and valid method Lack of ‘result orientation’ Time consuming and expensive to create BARS Several appraisal forms for different types of Job 5. 360 DEGREE FEEDBACK 360 Degree Feedback is a multi - rater feedback system where an individual is assessed by a number of assessors including his boss, subordinates, colleagues, internal customers and external customers. WHAT IS 360 DF? Feedback collected from Internal Customers Peers External Customers “Boss” Self Team Members 6. MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES (MBO) MBO emphasizes to set specific, measurable goals with each employee and then periodically discuss the employees’ progress towards these goals. The technique emphasises on setting goals collectively by superior and subordinates. MBO focuses attention on what must be accomplished (goals) rather than how it is to be accomplished. It is a kind of goal setting and appraisal program. STEPS INVOLVED IN MBO Set Organisational goals Set Departmental goals Discuss Departmental goals Define expected results Performance Reviews Provide feedback RANKING METHOD Ranking of an employee in a work group is done against that of another employee. Employees are ranked according to their relative levels of job performance In practice, its is very difficult to compare individuals possessing varied behavioural traits. It does not tell how much better / worse an employee is when compared to another employee. No systematic procedure for ranking individuals in the organisation PAIRED COMPARISON METHOD Each worker is compared with all the other employees in the group. The comparison is done for every trait. Cant be applicable when the group is large. As compared to A A B C D E + _ + _ + _ + + _ B _ C + _ D _ + _ E _ _ + _ + PROVIDING FEEDBACK Adequate Preparation Describe Behavior Acts, Not attitude Listen to recipient Data based feedback Suggestive Reinforcement Continuous Proper Timing Help the appraisee PROBLEMS WITH PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL Judgement Errors Primacy Effect Halo Effect Horn Effect Leniency Central Tendency Recency Effect Poor appraisal forms Lack of Rater preparedness EMPLOYEE TYPE Low potential – Low Performance Low potential – High Performance Low performance – High Potential High performance – High potential TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT TRAINING Any attempt to change an employees’ current and future performance by changing his knowledge, skills and attitude can be termed as training IMPORTANCE & NEED OF TRAINING Aids in new entrants attaining role clarity To bridge gap between skills requirement and skills availability Promotions Improves quality and productivity Meet organizational objectives Improves organizational climate To support personal growth and development THEN WHY IS TRAINING OFTEN NEGLECTED? Training time Not knowing exactly what you want your people to do and how Short-term worker Costs Employee turnover TRAINING CYCLE Training Need Assessment Evaluation Implementation TRAINING NEED ASSESSMENT Organisational Analysis Analysis of Organization's Objectives Resources utilization analysis Environmental Scanning Organisational Climate analysis Task or Role Analysis Performance Standards The task they have to discharge Person Analysis IMPLEMENTATION Selecting the Trainees Selecting the Trainer Selecting the Venue Developing Training Program Required arrangements before the training session EVALUATION Levels of evaluation How did participants react? What did participants learn? How did participants’ behaviour change? What organisational goals were affected? Cost Benefit Analysis MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WHAT IS MDP & NEED FOR MDP Is the process of a conscious and systematic improvement of managerial effectiveness within the organisation, to achieve organizational goals and strategies Need for MDP: Skills of executives may become redundant without training and development Change in business environment Conglomeration and integration Interpersonal skills MDP PROCESS output Desired output generated yes No action to Be taken Design an apt Management devt team No Management skill Only need improvement Problem exists how to overcome the problem? Either Or all Both managerial Skills and organizational Which of the two Can be improved Elements need easily improvement Either managerial skill or organizational elements need improvement Organizational elements only need improvement Restructure organization elements NEED ANALYSIS What type of managers are needed today ? What type of managers will we need tomorrow ? Insight may be drawn from Organisation structure Business strategy Collect information like: education, experience, training, special knowledge, skills, and personal traits required for each job CURRENT APPRAISAL Current profiles based on: education, experience, training, special knowledge, skills, and personal traits… Competency Mapping ??? COMPETENCY MAPPING MATRIX Position Competency Personal Competency A B C D E F Strengths Development Areas EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION MOTIVATION Motivation refers to set of forces that cause people to behave in certain ways Performance of an individual depends on his or her ability backed by Motivation Performance = f (ability X motivation) It is essential to offer highly motivated employees to the organisation It’s a tough challenge because there is no ‘one fit’ approach to motivation To which stimulus employee respond, how they respond and what behavioural outcomes do hey exhibit is difficult to say. MOTIVATION FRAMEWORK Identifies Need Searches for ways to satisfy the need Reassess Needs Deficiencies Employee Engages in Goal Directed Behaviour Receives Rewards or Punishment Performs MOTIVATIONAL THEORIES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Maslow’s Theory of Motivation Two factor Theory by Fredrick Herzberg ERG Theory by Alderfer Achievement Motivation Theory by David C. McClelland Expectancy Theory by Vroom Equity Theory by Adams Content Theories Process Theories 2. TWO FACTOR THEORY Proposed by psychologist Fredrick Herzberg. Survey of factors affecting work motivation Survey of 200 accountant and engineers Respondents were asked essentially two questions When did you feel particularly good about your job When did you feel exceptionally bad about your job FINDINGS Hygiene Factors No Dissatisfaction Dissatisfaction Motivators Satisfaction No Satisfaction Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction are not opposite poles of one dimensions, they are separate dimensions. Satisfaction is affected by Motivators and dissatisfaction by Hygiene Factors To achieve motivation, managers should cope with both satisfiers and dissatisfiers. HYGIENE FACTORS AND MOTIVATORS Company Policy and Administration Hygiene Factors Security Status Achievement Recognition Work Itself Responsibility Growth Advancements Salary Motivators Working Conditions 3. ERG THEORY Developed by Alderfer The E, R and G theory stand for Existence, Relatedness and Growth – the three sets of needs. Needs stated by Alderfer are same as Maslow’s Need and are important determinants of Human Behavior However, the ERG theory differs from the Maslow’s theory in three respects: Only three needs Maslow’s theory follows a rigid step like progression whereas ERG theory hypothesises that more than one need may be operative at the same time. Maslow had stated that a person will stay at a certain level until that need is satisfied whereas ERG theory states that when a higher level need is frustrating, the individual’s desire to increase the lower level needs increases. 4. ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION THEORY Developed by David McClelland According to this theory the needs that motivate human behavior are – Power, Affiliation and Achievement This theory envisages that each person has a need for all the three, but differ in degree to which various needs motivate their behavior. Need for Achievement Derive satisfaction from reaching their goals High achievers prefer immediate feedback on their performance Generally undertake task of moderate difficulty They dislike tasks with high risks because they get no achievement satisfaction from accidental successes They dislike easy tasks because there is no challenge to their skills 4. ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION THEORY Need for Power Derive satisfaction from the ability to control others Actual achievement of goals are less important than the means by which goals are achieved Organisations that fosters power motive tend to attract individuals with a high need for power Need for Affiliation Derive satisfaction from social and interpersonal activities There is a need to form strong interpersonal ties and to ‘get close’ to people psychologically If asked to choose between working at a task with those who are technically competent and those who are their friends, high need for affiliation individuals will choose their friends MATCHING CONTENT THEORIES Need Hierarchy Self Actualisation ERG Theory Growth Self Esteem Two – Factor Theory Achievement Motivation Model Motivators • Advancement • Growth • Achievement Need for Achievement Need for Power Affiliation Relatedness Security Existence Psychological Hygiene • Job Security • Salary • Working Conditions Need for Affiliation 5. EXPECTANCY THEORY Pioneered by Victor H. Vroom Four important variables of Expectancy Theory are: First and Second Level of Outcomes Expectancy Instrumentality Valence First and Second Level of Outcomes Performance achieved as a result of efforts is first level outcome Performance may be reflected through high productivity, quality of work etc. Second level outcomes are the rewards that the first level outcome is likely to produce. They include pay raise, promotion, peer acceptance and job security 5. EXPECTANCY THEORY CONTD… Expectancy Instrumentality The belief that particular level of effort will be followed by particular level of performance is called expectancy Effort to Performance (E P) This is the perception by an individual that first level outcomes are associated with second level outcomes Performance to Outcome (P O) Valence Valence is an individual’s preference for a second level outcome. Desired outcomes have positive valence Avoided outcomes have negative valence Outcomes have 0 valence when an individual is indifferent about receiving it 5. EXPECTANCY THEORY CONTD… According to Expectancy theory Motivation is: Expectancy X Instrumentality X Valence If anyone of these variable is low, motivation is likely to be low Managers try to ensure that employees’ levels of expectancy, instrumentality and Valence are high so that they will be highly motivated APPLICATION OF EXPECTANCY THEORY Variable Objective Application Expectancies To increase the belief that employees are capable of performing the job successfully Select people with required skills and knowledge To increase the belief that good performance will result in valued outcomes Measure Job performance accurately Instrumentality Provide Training and clarify Job requirements Provide performance counseling Clearly explain the outcomes that will result from successful performance APPLICATION OF EXPECTANCY THEORY Variable Valence of Outcomes Objective Application To increase the Distribute rewards that employee expected value of value outcomes resulting from desired performance 6. EQUITY THEORY Person compares their outcome/input ratio with others outcome/input ratio. Inputs refers to the characteristics which individual bring with them to the job Outcomes refers to what person gets from job in terms of pay, promotions benefits and so on. Inequity is defined as the perception that persons’ outcome/input ratio is not equal to others outcome/input ratio Negative Inequity Positive Inequity COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT COMPONENTS OF REMUNERATION Components of Remuneration are: Salary Incentives Fringe benefits Perquisites INCENTIVE PAYMENTS Incentives are variable rewards granted to employees according to variations in their performance. Importance Greater Output Reduced supervision High Efficiency High Motivation Disadvantages Deteriorated Quality Jealousy feeling Unwanted Stock TYPES OF INCENTIVE SCHEMES Individual Incentive Schemes Group Incentive Schemes Company – Wide Incentive Plans BENEFITS AND SERVICES Employee Benefits and Services include any benefit that the employee receives in addition to direct remuneration. These benefits can be in terms of Fringe Benefits or Perquisites Fringe benefits include such benefits which are provided to the employees either having long-term impact like provident fund, gratuity, pension; or occurrence of certain events like medical benefits, accident relief, health and life insurance; or facilitation in performance of job like uniforms, Canteens, recreation, etc. Administered for a group mostly BENEFITS AND SERVICES These are normally provided to managerial personnel either to facilitate their job performance or to retain them in the organization. Such perquisites include company car, club membership, free residential accommodation, paid holiday trips, stock options, etc. Administered individually mostly FACTORS INFLUENCING REMUNERATION Internal factors Business Strategy Employee Job Evaluation and Performance Appraisal External factors Labour Market Cost of Living Economy Legislation IMPORTANCE Image Building Ensure Equity Institutional effectiveness Attract talent Motivate & Retain Staff Effective Compensation Employee Management Legal Compliance Administrati vely Efficient Reward Valued Behavior CHALLENGES OF REMUNERATION Monetary Vs.
