Can team results be improved by job profiles? Yes, they can! In our transition and improvement programmes, job profiles are the translation of organizational objectives into personal goals, in which relevant competencies are translated into concrete results and desired behaviour. An accurate message clears the way for more precise management and creates room for development – just the thing that can take an organization to the next level.
Result-oriented job profiles are key in our project for one of the major cities in the Dutch Randstad region aimed at improving the management of their professional pool of programme and project managers. These organizational wizards carry large-scale projects that may involve integral policy development, sizeable budgets and numerous stakeholders. But what exactly is expected of them? It’s our job to make this clear and strengthen the group, which is why we evaluated the job profiles together with these managers in a series of inspirational sessions. The result: individual targets and competencies translated into results and behaviours and a clear outlook on career paths. Points of development have been defined, and the enthusiastic managers are set to go. A satisfied municipality sees its pool of programme and project managers fast approaching the desired levels.
Performance management
Clearly detailed documents such as these smoothen the communication between management and employees, as they make clear what is expected from employees, along with their possibilities for growth and improvement. Result-oriented job profiles combined with regular target, performance and appraisal interviews and clearly defined development and career paths form a coherent system that underlies our powerful performance management programme. Together with our clients we build effective collaborative organizations with better team performance and lower costs.
Development tool
Employees are able to take charge of their own personal and professional growth with H&C’s Spiegelapp (mirroring app). This app is a tailored 360° feedback tool that is fully integrated with an organization’s performance management cycle. It is also an effective e-learning environment. With online functionality such as 360° feedback, a development assessment that serves as a baseline measurement, e-coaching, chatting and an interview diary, the app enables employees to take charge of their own development. The easy-to-use app can be personalized with pictures, videos and personal slogans. This makes the app a successful development tool and an important starting point for performance and appraisal interviews with their managers. With Spiegelapp we further improve the effectiveness of performance management.
Effective assessments
Assessments are the other ace up our sleeve in the identification of employees’ competencies, talents and opportunities for growth. The insight gained helps organizations to put the right people in the right positions. Assessments are an important colour on our palette of training, coaching and talent management that helps teams to focus on effective collaboration and organizations to become more effective.
