...6-03-06 and 317.1.6-08-10 The manufacturing plant currently does not have a sound system of performance evaluation. The current system addresses the friendliness of the employee, the orderliness of the employee’s workspace, and the attitude of the employee towards others. The current performance evaluation does not address the needs of the employee by properly preparing the employee for the goals of the company. The employee has not been given or been informed of the standards of the company. Standards or goals, when issued upfront, enhance performance, motivate, and in turn serve as a basis to evaluate after a set period of time. Performance standards should be set for all bottom-line practices including quantity, quality, time used, and cost. An effective performance evaluation system is based on accurate performance standards that are easily defined, measured, and standardized for all employees. Behavioral evaluations are based on observable aspects of performance while trait evaluation involves personal judgment regarding characteristics of an employee related to performance. Some examples of trait appraisals would be initiative, leadership, and attitude. Behavioral evaluation is based on whether or not an employee is actively aware and proactive in developing procedures to improve the organization. It is also necessary to evaluate the specific job related criteria needed to perform the activity. In this case, the engineer is described as a bright and detail...

...JOB EVALUATION: PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The purpose of this document is to lay down the guidelines, processes and procedures to be followed during job evaluations sessions. An attempt has been made not to re-design the job evaluation system (Peromnes System) currently applied by the University of South Africa, but to explain how the system works in a more understandable manner. General job evaluation concepts will be explained over and above the Peromnes concepts. This document should not be treated as a manual but merely as a guide to the job evaluation process and will be subject to review from time to time. 1.2. 1.3. 1.4. 2. OBJECTIVES/PURPOSES OF JOB EVALUATION 2.1 Primary Aim Job evaluation determines (measures) the “intrinsic” worth of jobs, based on systematic assessment of the degree of complexity of job content and requirements, and to do this independently of any pre-conceived standards of remuneration and without regard to the qualities and performance of the actual incumbents who perform the jobs. 2.2. Secondary Aim 2.1.1. Job evaluation relates jobs to each other in terms of their intrinsic worth, and hence to determine relative complexities of different jobs and a rational job structure within an organisation. Job evaluation provides a rational basis for equitable remuneration (pay and benefits) within an organisation, so that defensible rates of remuneration may be assigned to jobs themselves and to the individuals who perform...

...Job evaluation is defined as a systematic process of determining the relative worth of jobs in relation to other job in order to establish which jobs should be paid more than others within an organization (Snell & Bohlander, 2010). The goal of job evaluation is to achieve internal equity during the salary system formation. In other word, job evaluation means the process of objectively determining the relative worth of jobs within an organization. It involves a systematic study and analysis of job duties and requirements. The evaluation is based on a number of compensable factors. Job evaluation can measure the value of all jobs within an organization and produces a rank order ranging from entry level positions to the most senior positions within an organization. It provides a framework to administer pay. The purpose of job evaluation is to helps established internal equity between various jobs in which wage paid is equal to the value of the job. When establishing the worth of a position, issues of internal equity are considered. Internal equity is defined as fairness in the relationship of a job’s salary range when compared with the salary ranges of similar jobs within the organization. The salary range for a job is considered internally equitable if the salary is commensurate with responsibility level of the position.

... | Employee compensation and benefits are critical factors in the new hire acceptance process and in employee retention. Firms must develop and offer exceptional compensation and benefit programs to attract and retain the best and most talented employees while making them feel proud, valued, and as appreciated members of the organization. An organization’s fundamental purpose and objective of compensation is to provide appropriate and equitable rewards to employees at a level that matches their skills, abilities, and contributions to the organization (DeNisi, Angelo S., Griffin, Ricky W. 2008, p. 284, para.1). Compensation is the human resource management function that deals with every type of reward that individuals receive in return for performing work – including financial and nonfinancial rewards. Financial rewards include direct payments (e.g. salary) plus indirect payments in the form of employee benefits. Nonfinancial rewards include everything in a work environment that enhances a worker’s sense of self-respect and esteem by others (Cascio, 2006, p.418, para. 1). Direct compensation is an employee’s base wage; it can be an annual salary, an hourly wage, or any performance-based pay that an employee receives, such as profit-sharing bonuses, or stock options (Fogleman, 2004). There are many ways to classify benefits, but the United States Chamber of Commerce’s classification scheme uses three...

...HRM department to understand this as a mixture of different methods should be made in use and in practice. This will allow them to reward them for maximum results and gain the most possible. Lastly, once a suitable reward system has been put in place then they need to understand how to check if their rewards are achieving what they want – hardworking employees. Sometimes employees will fall easy so managers need to know different ways they can monitor so they can understand what their reward system is producing. LO3 – Understand how to reward employees 3.1 – Motivational theories There are motivational theories out there that consider many approaches. A classic theory states that motivation is related to need. It classifies different types of needs into groups; then puts them in a pyramid structure. In terms of reward this means that people will have to be rewarded with whatever satisfies their needs. Many times this can refer to giving more importance or authority to employees; allowing them to feel empowered, important and wanted. These are examples of cheap rewards. Herzberg also looked at factors. He concluded that there are basic needs which every employee needs them there are motivational factors. These are not rewards but rather motivations for example recognition of effort or achievements. They are not financial rewards, so they are very preferable for businesses to choose. If employees receive these rewards then they will not look so much into financial rewards. Article...

Personality testing refers to those techniques that are used accurately and consistently to measure personality. 2. Humans are precious asset for any organization. Recruitment and selection is costly effort in terms of money and time. Personality of employees effects their roles and responsibilities in the organization. The personality pattern has great influence on their work attitude. Evaluations of personality provide a measure of how an individual works with his colleagues, how he approaches towards tasks and change, how he communicates and how he deals with pressures. Differences between people in their behavior and mental approach make them more or less effective in different jobs. For instance, an outgoing person will tend to be more successful in a job that requires frequent interaction with other people. On the other hand, a less outgoing person tends to be more successful in a job that primarily involves independent work. Almost, all organization uses personality evaluations to match an individual’s skills to the job requirements or to find an organization fit person. Such evaluations identified...
