Opis

It's hard to tell if today's competitive job market is more unsettling for employees seeking job security, or companies trying to retain loyal workers. This book provides fresh insights on what makes employees valuable to the organization and how companies can keep productive employees on the job. Employees should learn how to increase their personal marketability by developing specific skills, knowledge, and attitudes; and managers and coaches should find the tools and resources to make employees more valuable to the organization. Even policymakers and human resource professionals can drive change and business improvement through the application of competency modeling processes.

Recenzje

"I surprising have found that 'The Value-Added Employee' book has many roles in our organization. First, we use the three competency areas (people, business and self-management) to structure our managers' and employees' professional development. The model and the competencies give the managers and employees a common language to formulate development plans. Second, we give managers a copy of the book to help themselves and their employees understand all the aspects of work competencies and professional development. They both learn together and have a quick reference guide. Then, we also use the book as a 'bible' when we are conducting career planning sessions with employees. In addition, I feel the book can be used as individual self-help guide to career planning. This is definitely one of my favorite tools I use in my organization development role here at Rexall Sundown." - Carlin Murray, Manager, Corporate Learning & Development, Rexall Sundown, Inc., Boca Raton, FL
