“Commitment” and “accountability” are two words that are sure to pique the interest of anyone in human capital management. But when asked, most managers and employees don’t know for what each position is accountable and therefore lack commitment within the team. Lack of commitment can lead to job confusion, dissatisfaction and eventually, disengagement.

Recent studies show the average employee is disengaged for up to two hours per day. Simple math would indicate that a company with 500 employees with an average wage of $25.00 per hour loses $6,000,000.00 per year due to disengagement. No, that is not a typo. It is $6 million per year.

Do you know what disengagement is costing your bottom-line?

Through our network of Value Added Associates, we have benchmarked over 6,800 jobs. When you benchmark the job, the job will identify the personal skills, behaviors and motivators that are required for superior performance in the position. When a person is matched to the job based on these requirements, the person will be engaged, motivated and behaviorally fit for the position.

During our patented benchmarking process, Key Accountabilities will be established prior to a job assessment. Once a new employee is hired, the manager will be able to discuss the Key Accountabilities and ask each employee to commit to them. During performance reviews, managers will be able to refer to the Key Accountabilities and hold each employee accountable.

On-boarding new employees with this information can be your best retention strategy. Please call your Value Added Associate or us at 800-869-6908 to learn more about this process.
