The sales division within each company generates the revenue to promote future growth and ultimate success for this venture. Developing the perfect sales team by balancing the requirements of the position with the level of talent each salesperson brings to the team provides a dynamic team geared for a positive outcome.

In addition to candidate review, measurement of the position itself by the human resources division allows for an accurate determination relating to the candidate list. To ensure a positive outcome, this workforce planning system will go into effect immediately. Job analysis Many options are available to analysis what a particular position entails. For example, human resources managers can interview current employees within that position, issuing current employees questionnaires relating to specific job functions, observation of the position, and collecting information on the background of current employees relating to daily tasks, such as statements of duties.

...organizations in the health care industry. As a midlevel sales manager, part of my jobs and responsibilities are to select new members for my sales team and create a development plan to help my team succeed with the company’s new strategy. In other to accomplish these objectives, certain things have to be in their right places. For example, a job analysis has to be conducted, an outline of a workforce planning system has to instituted, and new competent team members have to be selected. A job analysis is a description of work to be done, the skills needed, and the training and experience required for various jobs (Cascio, p. 157). A job description can be referred to as an overall written summary of task requirements, while overall written summary of worker requirements is called job specification. The result of the process of job analysis is a job description and a job specification (Cascio, p.158). In order to effectively conduct a job analysis, I need to identify the analysis method (s) that is appropriate, so as to achieve and attain the Interclean’s short and long term goals. These analysis methods are: Job Performance, Observation, Interviews, Critical Incidents, and Structured Questionnaires. Sound HR management practice dictates that thorough job analysis always is done, for they provide a deeper understanding of the behavioral requirements of jobs. This in turn, creates a solid basis on which to make job-related employment decisions (Cascio, p.159). Since InterClean provides...

...company is changing. InterClean no longer plans to focus only on selling cleaning products, but will now add to its service line the ability to provide full service cleaning solutions for health care facilities. In order to prepare for this new product line it is critical to evaluate the type of employees needed to implement the strategic change. The success of the sales department to sell and retain customer accounts is critical to the new direction of the organization. Therefore, to ensure only the most qualified individuals are placed in these key positions, a formal job analysis was created along with a workforce planning system and a staff selection plan. Each of these will be outlined in this report. The job analysis for the new sales positions focuses specifically on the tasks required to be completed in the position and the characteristics of the employees to be selected. Several methods can be used to order to create a job analysis that will ultimately create a total picture of the demands of the job; Job performance, observation, interview, critical incidents, and structured questionnaires. For this job analysis, observation, interviews, and structured questionnaire methods were used to determine the essential and non-essential functions and tasks needed in for the sales position. The observation method included watching the current sales staff at both InterClean and the former EnviroTech doing the current job. Observations were done both with and without...

By training and developing its staff, discuss how Marks & Spencer is in a position to develop a competitive advantage over its competitors. Introduction A competitive advantage is a superiority that an organization can gain over its competitors by providing the same value at lower prices or charging higher prices for providing greater value through differentiation, Business Dictionary (2015). Grobler et al (2011:9) noted that in the past the focus of Human Resources (HR) was an administrative one (traditional HR) with focus on personnel issues, more recently HR has been recognized as being contributory to the organization’s overall strategy. HR is therefore an integral part of achieving competitive advantage. One such HR practice that enables competitive advantage is in training and development of its staff. Noe et al (2012:98) noted that in the knowledge economy it is the organization’s intangible assets which provide for competitive advantage. A company’s intangible assets comprise human capital, intellectual capital, social capital and customer capital. Training and Development When there are deficiencies in key skills...
