Job Link Training | Business Management & Consulting

Traditional management and customer service training are ineffective in building tangible links to on-the-job skills. Performance Path ® has developed Job Link™ to break the mold of the traditional generic employee classroom training concepts.

Job Link™ creates a closed loop between work needs, skill improvement training and supervisory follow up. The employee’s work skills are reviewed and strategic work needs are identified.

Job Link™ training modules are identified from skill clusters that relate to specific work needs. Participants are given self-assessment to further define and identify their capability level, and these areas are specifically targeted during training.

Job Link™ training creates a tangible link between specific on-the-job skills, job-linked training, and on-the-job performance.

Immediately upon return to work, each participant’s supervisor receives a copy of the employee’s performance improvement targets and together they review and select one or two high priority targets to implement, and a review date is set.

The supervisor uses an Incentive Cache™ to reinforce performance improvement and the supervisor may use an Incentive Cache™ to strengthen the transfer of new or improved skills demonstrated on-the-job.

Employee Performance Incentive Cache

Incentive Cache ™ enables management to:

• Direct and align employee effort where it is needed most
• Increase skill and initiative
• Ensure accountability
• Drive financial results

It’s not just managers recognizing employee achievements; it is people recognizing people for very specific contributions tied to results.

Different things motivate different people. Motivational profiling allows managers to quickly and effectively identify individual motivational hot buttons for each employee. The result is you get what you reward.

Employees work hardest when their work effort connects to their personal lifestyle wants and needs. Linking strategic objectives and goals with individual work efforts and personalized incentives creates commitment and loyalty.

An incentive survey identifies the types of incentives that reward staff excellence, performance, innovative ideas, and taking on new job responsibilities. Linking incentives with business objectives accelerates business success.

Managers learn to use measurable goals and recognition to expand performance without adding cost.

How Incentive Cache Works | Incentive Cache system

Incentive Cache ™ identifies six strategic categories of motivational incentives.

Incentive Cache ™ motivational profiler pinpoints individual's motivational hot buttons, identifying financial and non-financial incentives that employees are passionate about. Using these motovational hot buttons, managers can drive front-line activities by linking them with performance-based incentives.

A ten year research study by Jackson Organization of healthcare professionals provides indisputable and startling results (below). 26,000 employees from 31 organizations participated in the study which demonstrates the financial payoff between organizations that effectively recognize employees and those that do not.

Non-financial incentives lower cost and increase management’s control over individual performance. Incentive Cache™ gets managers and employees to think like owners.

History - Performance Path | Business Management Consulting

Business performance management (BPM) has made great strides over the last decade. Certainly balanced score cards and dashboards help managers plan, monitor and analyze results. Executives implement performance management to improve execution of strategy, increase efficiency and become more agile competitors.

The oversight … human energy. Human energy is what drives progress. All BPM systems use goal setting and Key performance indicators to measure, monitor and analyze performance. These are lag measures. Relaying on these factors alone is like driving your car by looking in the rear view mirror.

Managers and employees need the information and motivation to drive success. Front line decisions (Lead Measures) drive bottom line results. Goals and objectives (Lag Measures) measure results. Employee motivation affects everything – customer relations, costly errors, and delayed responses.

Performance Path ® was developed over a number of years by psychologist and human behavior analyst Rod Waddell. In an effort to ‘find a better way’ to manage employees and bottom line results, he developed Performance Path ® and Incentive Cache™.

Management Consulting Training | Strategic Mapping

Performance Path ® was developed as a follow-through tool and process to insure a measurable way to not only report on, but to ensure the business objectives are communicated and achieved at every level of the organization.

“It starts with a detailed and measurable Job Description that clearly defines the expectations between employer and employee. Once established, managers can focus on a positive approach to help the employee meet the metrics who are then rewarded with the proper incentive.”

Immediately upon return to work, each participant’s supervisor receives a copy of the employee’s performance improvement targets and together they review and select one or two high priority targets to implement, and a review date is set.

The supervisor uses an Incentive Cache ™ to reinforce performance improvement and the supervisor may use an Incentive Cache ™ to strengthen the transfer of new or improved skills demonstrated on-the-job. Job Link™ training creates a tangible link between specific on-the-job skills, job-linked training, and on-the-job performance.

Are your managers leaving you vulnerable to expensive law suits?

Most managers recognize the importance of employee documentation. However, it usually remains a low priority until something goes horribly wrong. Attorneys have learned to subpoena all documentation for all employees in a department. Frequently this turns up an abundance of documentation on their client and very little if any on other staff members. This information may become evidence of discrimination against their client. “Continuous Documentation”, may be critical to winning a law suit. Our documentation alert system reminds managers when to document on a regular schedule. Managers can set the alerts themselves or HR can set alerts at designated intervals to search for and send reminders to managers who have not recorded any documentation.

Motivation – You Get What You Reward | Employee Motivational Tool

Performance measures alone will not sustain a high performance workforce. Managers must recognize their staff do not work for them, they work for themselves.
