Selection Systems

“You can teach a turkey to climb a tree, but it’s easier to hire a squirrel”

- Lyle Spencer

Problem: Don’t know the applicant’s job performanceSolution: Predict applicant’s job performance

DCF ‘s current selection system

o Is the current method the most effective system for choosing field workers?

Page 6: Proposal Real

Selection Criteria- GMA

Predictive

• Applicants most likely to learn and to perform well on the job

• Predict performance in most jobs 26%

Advantages

• Cost effective

• Not influenced by faking

Disadvantages

GMA Tests1. Single measure tests

2. Tests that measure abilities and GMA

•New hires in 1-5 year range predicts performance well for about first 3 years on the job

Younger and less trained employees more likely to turnover

Is it Necessary???

Page 11: Proposal Real

Selection Methods - Interviews

Applicant learns more about the job and organization develops realistic expectations

Interviewers information on empathy, personal initiative, and applied social skills

UnstructuredNo fixed format or set of questionsSame interviewer often asks different questionsNo fixed procedure for scoring

Structured (best kind)Exact opposite of unstructured interviews Questions determined by job analysisMore valid

Interviews99% of

organizations use some form of

interview

Page 12: Proposal Real

Interviews Cont. Interview Questions

• Candidates asked what they would do in hypothetical situation

• Describe what they did in past jobs as it relates to requirements of the job

• Candidates describe, document, or demonstrate their job knowledge

Probationary Periods

Popular in US Organizations

Good for Unionized Firms

Protect from bad hiring

choices

Workers discharged

typically have no recourse to

union grievance

procedures

Other Advantages

Helps organizations

obtain the kind of workers they

want

Get information not available before hiring

•Workers can be laid off before firms have invested heavily in them

•Probation higher net returns than monitoring workers on intermittent basis

Helps attract applicants with desirable qualities

Page 15: Proposal Real

Recommendations for a New Selection System

• Disparate treatment or impact could occur if more than one

One applicant pool and one selection

system

• Will have relevant job knowledge, skills, and abilities

2 or more years Social Work

Stress

Direct costs- turnover, absenteeism, health care, compensation awards

Job stress estimated to cost the American industry $150 billion dollars annually

Indirect costs- poor morale, job dissatisfaction, poor performance

absenteeism • Up to 60% reduction in 1

year• Decreased job tension and

stress • Many programs

• Increased satisfaction• Many programs

Disadvantages

• Most conducted at secondary and tertiary levels• Insufficient• Complement with

primary level programs• Optional participation

attracts "worried well" versus extremely distressed

Page 20: Proposal Real

Pay Plan Overview Seniority-Based Systems

Turnover of high performers

Protect average and poor performers

Performance must meet only a minimum standard

Merit Plans

Group Incentive Plans

Piece rates, Bonuses, Commissions

Profit sharing, Gain sharing, Bonuses

•Focus on individual’s levels of performance•Added to base salary

•Work group, facility, organization performance•Added to base salary

•Individual’s performance

•Reward not added to the base salary

•Group’s performance

•Not added to the base salary

Variable Pay Plans

•Purpose: Motivate performance Recognize differential employee

contributions

Pay-for-Performance Systems

Page 21: Proposal Real

Variable Pay Plans1. Success rate =

HIGH2. Organizational performance =

INCREASED3. Productivity =

INCREASED5. Costs = LOWER

6. Absenteeism and turnover = LOWER

7. Employee attitudes = MORE

FAVORABLE8. Payouts = LARGER and FREQUENT

1. Poorly designed system = FAILURE2. If the hurdle for

achieving payout is too high =

employee GIVES UP3. If payout

achievement too easy= NO

BEHAVIOR CHANGE4. Employees can neglect aspects of job not covered in performance goals5. Less motivation for employee to change behavior

Advantages

Disadvantages

Page 22: Proposal Real

Merit Pay Plans1. Outstanding

performers= HIGHER PAY LEVEL

2. Works with unionized employees3. Salary growth = CUMULATIVE and

LONG TERM4. Employee job

satisfaction = HIGH5. Perceptions pay

and performance link = HIGH

6. Pay and performance = BETTER LINK

1. Performance appraisal

objectives= LESS SPECIFIC

2. Objectives seen as less doable and not

linked to performance

3. Pay increases smaller and viewed as less meaningful

4. Adding pay increases into base

salaries may weaken the pay for

performance link 5. Intrinsic

motivation = DECREASED

Advantages

Disadvantages

Page 23: Proposal Real

Performance Appraisal

2 main goals:Accurately assess level

of individual’s job performance

Evaluation system to advance operational functions

o 1. All employees evaluatedo 2. All key job-related responsibilities measuredo 3. All measures relate to job performanceo 4. Performance measurement includes only matters

under employee’s controlo 5. Employees give their own performance evaluations 6. Discussion of performance

Between superior and subordinate before

To be successful:

Page 24: Proposal Real

Recommendations for Stress Management and Pay System

• To reduce stress, we recommend that a stress management workshop is offered to employees

• Areas to be covered determined once current employees surveyed concerning what causes them distress

Stress Management

• We recommend that DCF implement a merit pay system because:

• Used for many different groups of employees

• Establish a better link between pay and performance

Pay System

• Develop a performance appraisal system whereby supervisors evaluate employees’ performance to tie in performance with pay

Performance Appraisal
