Redefine Your Team, Redefine Your Success
Why do a Benchmark?
The patented Job Analysis process is a foundation for success because it benchmarks a specific job, not the person in the job. To do this, we let the job talk through an interactive process and job assessment. When Job Benchmarking is implemented properly, it will have a direct effect on your business’ bottom line. You’ll not only attract the best candidates, but you’ll save time and money by hiring the right people the first time and reducing the learning curve with new employees who are strategically matched to fit your company.
What is a Benchmark?
A Benchmark is a specialized report that is created to identify the behaviors, motivators and skills required to be successful in the job. Most people match some, but not necessarily all, job requirements. When this happens, we have a gap. The gap is nothing more than an area for development. Our approach makes it easy for both manager and subordinate to discuss and develop a plan for personalized development.
How do we create one?
The job analysis benchmark can be broken into four key phases.
Each phase is contingent on the one prior, and the entire benchmarking process can be duplicated across all positions within the company.
1 SETUP
Identify the Job and “Subject Matter Experts” It is important to understand why the job exists, how success in the job is measured, the history of the position and how it fits the company strategy. The Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are people within the organization that have a direct connection to the job. Their expertise will help you create the job benchmark.
2 KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES
Define, Prioritize and Weigh Key Accountabilities Through discussion, the SMEs will define a comprehensive yet succinct group of 3-5 key accountabilities for the position. These will be ranked by importance and time requirement.
3 ASSESSMENTS
Respond to the Job Assessment and Review the Multiple Respondent Report The SMEs will respond to the Job Assessment keeping the Key Accountabilities in mind. Based on a unique analysis, the Multiple Respondent Report combines the input of all SMEs to create a benchmark for the job.
4 RESULTS
Compare Talent to the Job Benchmark using a Gap Report. A talent assessment on the same scale as the job will identify the characteristics an individual will bring to the job, allowing you to easily determine the best job fit and identify coaching opportunities. Within the framework of a company’s overall selection process, effective hiring decisions can be made and productivity can begin immediately
