CORE Workforce Performance System

The Challenge
Increased global competition, greater expectations from customers and shareholders, and the faster pace of today’s business world, place higher demands on managers and employees. This often translates to higher stress levels in the workplace, reduced productivity, high turnover and absenteeism, and relationships that are adversely affected throughout the organization. These internal factors then negatively impact external relationships including customer and vendor relations, which in turn negatively impact revenue generation and profits.

There is a real need for systems and measures that work in concert to create and maintain optimal performance at every level. Multiple factors must be orchestrated and integrated. Among these are:

Being certain the right people are in the right jobs to minimize training and supervision requirements
Identifying and developing the key attributes of top performers in current employees
Taking specific measures to increase overall employee productivity
Identifying and eliminating employees who lack the skills or initiative to contribute to the organization
Investing in ongoing development of employees
Ensuring employee readiness and ability to adapt to changing business requirements
Thinking more strategically about workforce development
Developing predictable and consistent measures to convey and administer consequences and rewards
Investing in solutions that continue to drive performance

Objectives

The CORE Workforce Performance System supports organizations in achieving their objectives of rapidly aligning, developing, motivating, and rewarding exceptional workforces. This is achieved through the delivery of a world-class integrated system that drives workforce performance, organizational alignment, and bottom-line business results.

Rapid Results – Round the Clock Application

The CORE Workforce Performance System has distinct capabilities that allow our clients to meet their immediate and on-going workforce evaluation and development needs to create and sustain a high performing workforce in record time.

Once organizational alignment is achieved, the CORE Workforce Performance System incorporates a patented system, the CORE Multidimensional Awareness Profile (CORE MAP). CORE MAP is a fully integrated, easy to use online program that is available anywhere in the world, around the clock, seven days a week. It is one of the most powerful and effective systems on the planet for identifying specific performance factors.

CORE MAP provides an in-depth appraisal of factors that cannot be seen on the surface or measured with ordinary assessment methods. This system takes the guesswork out of selection, placement and promotion decisions to ensure that the best candidate for the job is the one selected every time. And CORE MAP cannot be skewed without detection so you can be sure that the overall picture tells the real story.

Detects Core Competencies and Effectiveness Levels

What most employee development systems lack is the ability to determine with accuracy the degree to which essential core competencies are developed or are lacking in job candidates. The CORE Workforce Performance System supports role-based competency models that can be fully integrated into the hiring, placement, development and performance appraisal processes, allowing managers to place, train and objectively evaluate employees on their competency levels, suggest areas for growth or arrange training that will ensure the employee’s most rapid development.

The CORE Workforce Performance System measures each of the competencies most essential to exceptional workplace performance, including emotional intelligence (EI or EQ), ability to cope effectively under stress, general attitude toward other people, systems, processes and procedures, and how effectively traits essential to particular job functions are developed and utilized. The ability to measure and monitor the development of competencies results in improved outcomes and defines clear paths for the development of required competencies. This leads to greater organizational effectiveness, productivity and profits.

An Exceptional Management and Training System

The CORE Workforce Performance System provides managers with a clear picture of employee capabilities and training needs to enable them to create dynamic, focused and effective development plans that can be monitored and adjusted on a continuous basis. Specific training programs can be implemented in-house or through one of the CORE Workforce Performance System’s certified trainers. Certified coaches and consultants are also available where one-on-one interventions are more appropriate. The results are improved employee performance in current job roles and the ability to pinpoint areas where development of critical skills for future career path progression can be most effectively applied.

CORE Multidimensional 360°System

The CORE Multidimensional 360° System can be used in conjunction with the CORE Workforce Performance System or as a stand alone tool to provide feedback on employee performance, skills, attitudes and interactions from multiple perspectives. This facilitates balanced and meaningful insights into employee performance from every pertinent angle resulting in a greater awareness of competency gaps and development needs. Armed with this information leaders can make more informed decisions concerning manager and team development, goal alignment, performance-based compensation programs and adjustments, and improved ability to motivate, reward, develop, promote and retain talent.

CORE Clarity Employee Survey

The CORE Clarity Employee Survey provides management with actionable feedback that helps them identify perception vs. the reality and better understand the issues that matter most to employees. This gives employees a safe, anonymous, user-friendly forum for expressing their points of view resulting in increased employee engagement, while also providing management with key data points to consider in formulating new processes and strategies.

CORE Workplace Performance Model Analysis and Reporting

CORE Workplace Performance Model Analysis and Reporting provides feedback to leaders on the effectiveness of the current business model in creating an environment conducive to optimal employee performance. Strengths to build upon and any weaknesses or gaps in the current system are analyzed to provide insight and give leaders the data required for making informed strategic performance management decisions.

CORE Talent Development and Succession Planning

CORE Talent Development and Succession Planning helps companies assess talent inventories, perform modeling scenarios, and develop focused, targeted career paths and development plans for all employees. This is achieved through the establishment of performance benchmarks for key positions throughout the organization, analysis of subtle, but important performance factors and the development of specific training, coaching or systematic processes to ensure optimal development and readiness of employee talent.

Hard Numbers

Investing in your people isn’t just a good idea, it is good business. Studies abound on the benefits and savings in both time and money. A recent in-depth study conducted by Jim Collins and a team of researchers, and published in his book Good to Great, provides ample data on the bottom-line benefits of hiring the right people, properly placing them and continually investing in the development of current employees. Having the right people in the right positions is listed as the number one factor in every one of the companies Collins listed among the great. These companies earned an average of 6.9 times the market average and as much as 17 times that of comparable companies.(Good to Great, p 3) Research conducted by Daniel Goleman and his team found that well developed people can increase output in an organization by as much 300% (Working with Emotional Intelligence, p 35).
