In turn, these direct hiring, learning, development, career pathing, and on-boarding strategies; these strategies create loyalty, production, profitability, efficiency, retention.
What is Position Profiling? A tool for ensuring that people skills and abilities align with operational needs Provides a framework for developing position descriptions Supports management performance Establishes bona fides of job requirements Note: All the core competencies are job related. The methodology used in this presentation complies with Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures & Equal Employer Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (APA, 2002) and Use of Personnel Selection Procedures (SIOP, 2003).
Position Profiling Process A structured process for collecting information about a position, such as duties, responsibilities, necessary skills, outcomes, and work environment using two tools: 1. Qualitative position analysis and, 2. Quantitative position analysis. The resulting Position Profile Report defines the core competency profile, highlighting the core knowledge and skills required to perform the position.
Steps for Profiling Conduct organizational Discovery to orient analysis Gather and review O*NET information Draw on knowledge of subject matter experts (SMEs) One focus group for quantitative critical position analysis (3 hours) One on-line job analysis questionnaire (30 minutes) One on-line psychometric tool (Hogan HPI) Results in Technical position profile report defining the core competencies Core Competency Map
Value of Profiling Provides rationale for talent management program. Provides a road map for selection training and development recognition programs performance development, and succession planning
From Profile to Description Provides the framework for Maintaining critical organizational intelligence, Transferring knowledge to new hires, Directing and defining successful behaviors, and Platform for performance management

Elements of Position Description Purpose of the organizational unit Primary purpose of the position Particulars of position: (location, hours, etc.) Working conditions General areas of responsibility listed Functions to be performed and approximate time allocation (%) Required education and experience (weighted) Required knowledge, skills, and abilities (competencies profile) Reporting structure Success indicators On-boarding Mandatory organizational training for position
Best Practices for Position Description 1. Have clear process in place for new position (request, approval and signoff) 2. A process flow chart for generating or retrieving position descriptions 3. Verify facts for any bona fide occupational requirements prior to attaching prima facie discriminatory criteria to description 4. Conduct Position Profiling (qualitative & quantitative analysis) 5. Set standards for Position Descriptions and provide templates 6. Create SME team (3-5 people) to work collaboratively to complete the position description template for each position 7.

Performance Management Competency-Based Goal-Driven
Performance Goals The competency-based key performance behaviors and indicators support goal-driven performance management. There are three types of goals: Linking Goals Ensure individual goals support organizational goals. This alignment is crucial to ensuring employees and managers are focused on business objectives. Performance Target Goals Measure output against core job functions. This ensures that the goals are appropriate to the competencies identified. Developmental or Career Goals Close performance gaps (for employee to meet organizational goals) Offer growth opportunities (for employee to achieve personal goals)

Sample Schedule HR asks Employee to write goals or self-review. Sends to Manager. The Manager reviews, comments and either accepts the goals or returns it to the Employee for changes. Final work is submitted to HR. If an employee s overall performance rating falls outside of acceptable ranges, the review is routed to HR for review and follow up with the Manager. After each evaluation: HR runs and sends performance reports to all Managers Managers hold performance discussions with direct reports Sequence Performance Phase Length Of Time Time Period Employee Time Allotted Manager Time Allotted 1 Goal Setting 4 weeks Jan. 2 Jan. 31 2 weeks 2 weeks 2 Mid Year Evaluation 4 weeks July 1- July 31 1.5 weeks 2.5 weeks 3 Review Mid Year Scorecard Report Only avail after event closes? 4 Formal Manager-Employee Discussion 5 Training & Development Plans Performance Improvement Plans July 15-July31 N/A As needed As needed As needed As needed 6 Year End Evaluations 6 weeks Dec. 1 Jan. 15 2 weeks 4 weeks 7 Review Year End Scorecard & 9-Box Talent Matrix Reports Only avail after event closes?

Performance Ratings Performance levels can be measured more accurately and objectively with weighted scoring from goal and competency evaluations. Competency Rating Based on scored performance levels using a 5-level scale and weights for each competency type. Section Weights Leadership Skills weight based on Job Profile Role Specific Skills weight based on Job Profile Interpersonal weight based on Job Profile Goal Rating Based on scored performance levels using a 5-level scale and weights for each goal type. Section Weights Performance Target Goals 25% Linking / Organizational Goals 15% Development/Career Goals 10% Employee Overall Rating 22
Performance Scorecards Aggregate evaluation data to allow managers to compare peer-to-peer performance against benchmark norms. Performance Benchmark: Leadership Competencies Interpersonal Competencies Role Specific Competencies Linking Goal #1 Linking Goal #2 BENCHMARK 3.4 3.3 3.6 4 4.5 Employee 1 4 3 3 4.6 4 Employee 2 3 3 3 3 3 Employee 3 2 3 4 5 4 Employee 4 3 3 5 2.3 5 Employee 5 4 3 3 4.6 4 23
Talent Matrix for Succession Planning Aggregated performance scores from Year End Evaluations can generate a Nine-Box Matrix for talent management and succession planning. Nine-Box Grid Performance Potential 24
