The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between perceptions of performance appraisal fairness and employee engagement in the business organization context. In this rapid-cycle economy, business leaders know that having a high-performing workforce is essential for growth and survival. They recognize that a highly engaged workforce can increase inno¬vation, productivity, and bottom-line performance, while reducing costs related to hiring and retention in highly competitive talent markets. The work climate and job characteristics have a differential effect on employee engagement. Both job and organization resources (performance feedback, autonomy, development opportunities, task variety, welfare, and support from line manager, colleagues and senior management) are linked to positive employee engagement of all...

...The Time for Employee Recognition and Rewards Programs Is Now Thesis: Employee Recognition and Rewards Programs Can Generate Significant Revenue and Profits Introduction In today’s economy, many companies are dealing with a workforce that has been – or very soon will be – reduced to core essentials. The competitive marketplace, on the other hand, cannot be put on hold until the economy improves. Attracting and retaining the very best talent is a key element to stability at any time, but it is especially so during a recession. Successful companies know that they must have the entire team fully engaged in the success of “their” company during challenging times. This is important to success not only during the recovery, but also well beyond. A lack of engagement, according to recent research, can lead to an overall reduction of 10 percent in our GNP, not to mention its effects on the corporate bottom line. Creating a climate of appreciation, where efforts are recognized and potentially rewarded, can go a long way toward strengthening the process of engagement and improving the outlook for the company as a whole. Further complicating the recession economy is the shrinking talent pool. As baby boomers retire (or hope to soon), so-called baby busters and millennials are taking over leadership roles throughout corporate America. A shortage of talented workers worldwide is inevitable in the coming years. Global recruitment will see an increase in diversity – in age, experience, language...

...Employee engagement From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Employee engagement, also called worker engagement, is a business management concept. An "engaged employee" is one who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about their work, and thus will act in a way that furthers their organization's interests. According to Scarlett Surveys, "Employee Engagement is a measurable degree of an employee's positive or negative emotional attachment to their job, colleagues and organization that profoundly influences their willingness to learn and perform at work". Thus engagement is distinctively different from employee satisfaction, motivation and organisational culture. Origins Employee Engagement is the extent to which employee commitment, both emotional and intellectual, exists relative to accomplishing the work, mission, and vision of the organisation. Engagement can be seen as a heightened level of ownership where each employee wants to do whatever they can for the benefit of their internal and external customers, and for the success of the organization as a whole. Employee engagement was described in the academic literature by Schmidt et al. (1993). A modernised version of job satisfaction, Schmidt et al.'s influential definition of engagement was "an employee's involvement with, commitment to, and satisfaction with work. Employee engagement is a part of employee retention." This integrates the classic constructs of job satisfaction (Smith et al., 1969)...

...provide quality care. At Sharp Health Care, they believe in open communication among the staff, which can be argued to be a weak approach. It can also be argued that Sharp Healthcare can be rewarding their staff so that they can improve their performance further. Overall, Sharp approach to motivate its staff is a great innovation and it will be great if it is replicated in other health care organizations as well. KEY FACTORS IN SHARP’S SUCCESSFUL APPROACH TO MOTIVATION The key factors in Sharp’s successful approach to motivation involve the focus on purpose, worthwhile work, and making a difference; quality, service and people as some of its pillars of excellence; model behaviors and scripts; re-recruitment policy. We will discuss each factor and analyze their role in the overall approach to motivation. FOCUS ON PURPOSE, WORTHWHILE WORK AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE The focus on purpose, worthwhile work, and making a difference has led to increased employee, physician, and patient satisfaction, enhanced loyalty, and improved outcomes. This is evidenced by the fact that in 2007 Sharp HealthCare won the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Author Quint Studer, CEO of Studer Group, argues in his book, Hardwiring Excellence, that employee excellence and motivation is derived in great part from purpose, worthwhile work and making a difference (Studer, 2014). When people know their work has purpose and they are repeatedly reminded of that, they become much more motivated in...

...Employee motivation Importance of employee motivation How Employee motivation contributes to productivity How employee motivation contributes to Job satisfaction Best Practices Importance of Employee Motivation For a long time, employees where considered in companies as just an input in the production; but in order for a human being to perform in effective levels it is important for the employee to be motivated. Motivating employees was an important topic as far back as 1789. Samuel Slater, a pioneer who introduced textile manufacturing to America, was concerned about creating a work setting where it was comfortable for workers to do their jobs. (Gibson, 2012, P.125). Motivation is the way business and personal goals are achieved. Motivation is important for any organization, doesn’t matter if the organization is team based or if the employees work independently. The mission and vision of the organization must be aligned with the individuals that work within, this is of high significance for creating a high level of motivation that can lead to higher productivity, financial gain and work quality. The final outcome of any activity within the organization will be outlined by the level of motivation of the employees, without motivation, all capabilities and experiences ere futile. Motivation is what moves productivity, similar to gasoline to an engine, if the engine does not have any fuel, it will not run. It is very common to see how the human resources department...

...Reward and Recognition Blue Group Liz Crane Mark Glover Annice Lappin Tim Rowler Adele Vesty The Strategic Human Resource Management strategy that we will be focussing on for this presentation is ‘Reward and Recognition’. The award winning organisation that we have researched is Schweppes Australia, winner of the 2014 Australian HR award for the Best Reward and Recognition strategy, sponsored by Solterbeck. The format of our presentation will be to: 1. define the key terms, 2. present the research and literature focussing on both corporate and not for profit organisations 3. outline the award, 4. compare and contrast the award with the research of best practice of reward and recognition. 5. conclude with the benefits and limitations and alternatives of this Strategic Human Resource Management practice. Definition For the purposes of this presentation we have used the MIT Human Resources Division definition being, “The purpose of an employee recognition program is to recognize and reward work and behaviors that support/further the mission, goals, values and initiatives (of the organisation).” While Liz Prudden of San Diego State University separates this into two main categories, “The two types of reward and recognition are easily distinguishable: Monetary, receiving dollar incentives for performance and Non Monetary (NMR), various forms of "soft" recognition. Formal and Spontaneous are additional distinctions of Reward and Recognition” ...

The right and adequate combination of immaterial and material rewards can boost up an employees work motivation and enhance their commitment to the company. The aim of this documentation is to investigate and analyze how well a reward system helps generate employee motivation. More specifically it aims, to conclude that a financial reward is not an effective implementation to increasing employee motivation 1.2 Background A well designed and functional reward system is an efficient way to increase employee work motivation.

...most out of their money. So it„s essential that employees are motivated to provide the highest levels of service that will set the company apart. Whilst it may be tempting for employers to make a quick saving by cutting the incentives budget, it‟s also a false economy. It‟s important to remember that organisations with effective incentive schemes and high employee engagement consistently and significantly outperform their competitors. Unfortunately over two-thirds of employers report that low staff morale is currently an issue and almost three-quarters realise that they face the problem of re-engaging staff in the organisation.1 Going forward, employers are recognising that employee commitment will be vital if a company‟s performance is to be sustained. A recent survey found that 64% of employers intend to increase their focus on the motivational value of reward programmes over the next 2-3 years.2 It‟s commonly agreed that incentives have a positive and lasting effect on behaviour. One study reported that 75% of employers accept that incentives raise morale,3 whilst another found that 75% consider rewards for individual performance to be important to their staff. 4 So although employers see incentives as being desirable, they may be fearful that adopting an incentive scheme will be expensive. This is a common misconception; in reality even a minimal budget can produce a significant return on investment when the...

...a plan is just a wish”. Today’s presentation summarizes Health System’s plan for implementing a formal performance appraisal system for each employee, both individually and as part of a team, as well as outlines our strategy for implementing an organization-wide succession plan to fully maximize our use of human resources. As you were briefed at the last Board Meeting, our most recent employee survey revealed that many of our employees reported not receiving regular performance evaluations and expressed concerns about a perceived lack of a formal evaluation system, as well as no structured approach for assessing team performance. This feedback was troubling in many regards, as this translates into lower-than-expected employee satisfaction scores across the organization, and human resource metrics such as these are indicative of an organization’s health and viability. As emphasized in a recent business article, “Employee engagement is quickly becoming a critical success factor for competitive advantage” (Maximizing Human Capital, 2012). Human resources is also referred to as human capital and is the “collective knowledge, skills and abilities of people that contribute to organizational success”, which can be leveraged to promote value and optimize company performance (Lockwood, 2006). Measurement of human capital is a measure of effective human resource management, and a recent national survey revealed that 84% of companies anticipate increasing the use of human capital...

...Employee Engagement The idea of employee engagement is relatively new to researchers and the explanation of this construct is fairly inconsistent. Definitions of engagement vary based on the study performed and the proposed factors affecting engagement differ from one article to the next. While the theories of this construct may be blurred, many companies are beginning to see the clear picture – an engaged employee is a valuable, productive asset that can help the organization achieve its goals. This paper defines employee engagement as described in three articles and compares the results of these studies to provide recommendations on how organizations can develop an engaged workforce. Article 1 – Impact of HR Practices on Employee Engagement Defined in the first article, employee engagement is the extent to which an employee’s intellectual & emotional commitment help an organization achieve its desired results. It is the motivation and emotional connection an employee has to his or her job. The authors of this study further comment that employee engagement is the “blistering issue of modern business environment” (Sardar, Rehman, Yousaf, Aijaz 2011). The authors recognize that there are multiple definitions and factors of employee engagement. However, there is an overarching theme that organizations expect their employees to be dedicated to and have a positive attitude toward their work. Additionally, employees should take it upon themselves to further their own knowledge...
