Notas do Editor
- While headlines point to improved economic performance, the impact of HR actions taken during the recession may prove to be challenging to overcome. Employers made deep cuts during the recession which have had a negative impact on employee morale, productivity and engagement. As the economy rebounds and the demand for talent rises, employers will have to proactively re-evaluate their “deal” with employees and create a new deal that will aid in attraction and retention.
- Widespread restructuring and changes to HR programs in response to the recession had a negative impact on employees Declining morale and productivity, and poor perceptions of quality and customer service can have detrimental effects on an organization’s ability to rebound and position itself for improved performance.
- While layoffs were pervasive across industries, many companies took other actions to reduce the number of layoffs. High performing companies were better positioned to weather the downturn and were able to avoid cutting salary, benefits and bonus.
- High performing firms were well positioned to respond to the financial crisis and avoided cutting the core components of salary, benefits and bonus. Salary freezes were reported as the most effective action taken to minimize workforce reductions.
- Layoffs have declined significantly although some employers are still anticipating more layoffs to come
- Planning and preparation prior to the downturn provided high performing companies with tools to aid in effective staffing decisions during the crisis. Performance management is a key decision making tool that allowed high performing companies to segment their population and make informed staffing decisions. Performance management programs are also effective in establishing line of sight for employees, an important factor in employee engagement and critical to business performance recovery.
- When to use When comparing a single percent value change Benefits The callout indicating the amount of change can be directly linked to the bar chart Tips and instructions Because the graphic elements of the callout (the dotted lines and highlight gradient) must be manually adjusted, care must be taken to ensure that alignments are correct. 1. The dotted lines should be perfectly horizontal. Holding down the shift key while adjusting the position of each end of the line will ensure that the line stay horizontal. 2. The dotted lines should extend across the top of each bar. The call out box can be moved to the area you want to call out
- With funding levels down, top performers are not seeing the level of rewards they have in the past Some companies have introduced recognition programs to offset the downward trend in STI awards
- When to use Space is a determining factor: The number of categories, length of category names, and number of variables all have a significant effect on the amount of space needed when using this template. For longer category names consider using a horizontal bar chart (see template 2D) Benefits Provides a strong visual comparison between categories. Drawbacks Limited space for category labels. Tips and instructions Don’t stack category names into more than three lines, or turn labels on their sides to fit them. If category names are too long to fit horizontally consider changing to the vertical template (2D). The call out box can be moved to the column you want to emphasize or provide more information about. The blue highlight bar can be manually adjusted to call attention to specific columns. The blue highlight box should be pushed to the bottom most layer once modifications are complete. ( To do this: right click on the blue bar – select options – send to back. The blue bar should now be behind of the chart. If you want to manipulate the blue bar, follow the same instructions, but send it to the front.)
- Lending to participants and hardship withdrawals have increased for more than a third of the participating organizations
- Employers expect to shift more health care costs to employees as a result of the economic downturn
- When to use The data lacks a clear trend, defeating the purpose of visual representation If one or more variables can be emphasized, consider templates XX that combine charts with tables. Not using a percentile scale Benefits Simple and direct Drawbacks Lacks visual representation, making comparisons between intervals more difficult Tips You can't add a row if you've unlocked the table grouping. You’ll need to regroup the cell first. The call out box can be moved to the column you want to emphasize or provide more information about. The blue highlight bar can be manually adjusted to call attention to specific columns. Use a darker tint of orange in the highlighted column to further emphasize the callout and highlight areas. (To change the color of a column, right click in the column you want to change – select borders and fill – click the fill tab at the top – there will be a colored bar with an arrow button to the right – click on the arrow and it will bring up a color pallet – select your color and click ok. If the dark orange is not in your pallet you can add it by selecting more colors under the color pallet – type in RGB 244, 205,128 and click ok.) The blue highlight box should be pushed to the bottom most layer once modifications are complete. ( To do this: right click on the blue bar – select options – send to back. The blue bar should now be behind of the chart. If you want to manipulate the blue bar, follow the same instructions, but send it to the front.)
- The EVP is an important tool for communicating the employee deal Employees view the array of programs offered by their employers as an articulated deal and they feel the impact of changes made during the recession Employers don’t seem to recognize the explicit power of the rewards package and its impact on employee engagement, productivity and customer satisfaction Employers who do recognize the power of the EVP and work to communicate it and ensure alignment with company actions have an implicit advantage in employee retention and re-engagement
- Engagement is a combination of employee commitment and line of sight. Employee engagement is an important factor in employee retention. The significant decline in engagement, notably for top performers, is a warning sign for attrition risk.
- Top performers no longer earning the same level of rewards for their contribution; the employment deal has clearly changed. As a result, line of sight, a critical indicator of employee engagement, has decreased and organizations are at risk of losing key employees as the economy rebounds
- Overall declines in top performer satisfaction levels across key indicators of the EVP point to a further retention risk for top performing employees.
- Productivity decline may be attributable to employees perceiving reduced resources to do their job well. It may also be due to declining employee engagement, weakened commitment and fewer rewards for performance. Employees whose employers took fewer actions report less of a negative experience – suggesting that these employers may be better positioned to retain employees when the economy recovers
- As a result of widespread restructuring, challenges in attracting and retaining employees are at historically low levels. This poses an opportunity for employers to position themselves to attract critical-skill and top performing talent from other organizations where employee engagement is low. However, it also creates an opportunity for employers to re-engage their top performers so they will stay as the business conditions improve and more opportunities exist in the job market. The historical pattern also reinforces the notion that once the economy does recover, the challenge in attracting critical skill and top performing employees will return
- Challenges in retaining employees are also at historic lows. However, we anticipate this will change when the economy recovers and employees who are less engaged and motivated as a result of significant company cuts begin to seek new opportunities. Companies must proactively look for ways to re-engage and motivate their workforce or risk significant attrition.
- When to use Comparing a set of values. Space is a determining factor: The number of categories, length of category names, and number of variables all have a significant effect on the amount of space needed when using this template. For longer category names consider using a horizontal bar chart (see template 2D) Benefits Provides a strong visual comparison between categories. Good for showing volatility or changes over time. Drawbacks Limited space for category labels. Tips and instructions Don’t stack category names into more than three lines, or turn labels on their sides to fit them. If category names are too long to fit horizontally consider changing to the vertical template (2D). The call out box can be moved to the column you want to emphasize or provide more information about. The blue highlight bar can be manually adjusted to call attention to specific columns. The blue highlight box should be pushed to the bottom most layer once modifications are complete. ( To do this: right click on the blue bar – select options – send to back. The blue bar should now be behind of the chart. If you want to manipulate the blue bar, follow the same instructions, but send it to the front.)
- While employers recognize the post-economic recovery retention risk and are actively communicating, more needs to be done. Re-engaging top performers will mitigate attrition as the economy improves. Reconsider EVP within context of new business environment - Strategic changes to talent and reward programs - Tactical changes to address immediate workforce needs
- The majority of organizations are increasing communication with employees in an effort to keep them engaged. Less than a quarter of employers are using special reward programs to help engage top performers; this reflects a lost opportunity to mitigate attrition risk
- The new business environment requires a review of total reward offerings and the EVP. Reframing the EVP in light of the new environment and communicating the revised EVP to employees will help create a new bond with employees. Realigning the EVP requires vision, diligence in monitoring and commitment to take action Establishing a realigned EVP can position an organization to attract and retain critical-skill and top performers – this in turn will help to position for recovery.
