Building Habits for Success
The work-place is more than a productive space. It is where most people spend the best and the most time of their lives. Employers must be aware of the fact that this (the work-place) becomes the dominating force that shapes the well-being, success and happiness of employees. It must be done with a good understanding of responsible employment. Click here to read more.
System Tip of the Month
From our client survey, it seems that few clients use the Recruitment Specification function on the system. The Recruitment Specification highlights the most critical habits necessary for success as well as certain habits or a specific attitude that should not be present in candidates applying for a job. Follow these easy steps to generate a Recruitment Specification now.
Step 1: Select the department for which you want to create a Recruitment Specification.
Step 2: Select your 'Shadowmatch / Benchmark'
Step 3: Select 'Shadowmatch Recruitment Specification' in the top menu bar of the Shadow / Benchmark you have selected.
Step 4: Complete the necessary details and the system will compile a Recruitment Specification for you based on the habits of the benchmark compiled for the department.
Under 'Shadowmatch - Reports' on the website you can find an example of a Recruitment Specification, as well as example reports of Shadowmatch and Skillsgrid functionalities.
Client Feature
King Price has done a full system implementation and their Shadowmatch specialist did an analysis of the data to identify trends that might drive high staff turnover, quality (QA) and even absenteeism in the sales department. This trend analysis was discussed by Michelle de Villiers at the King Price Showcase on 23 May 2018 and again on 28 June 2018.
The information session gave a whole new viewpoint of the value of Shadowmatch and how your current Shadowmatch data can help you better understand performance and behavioural culture.
The main discussion points were:
- Behaviour that drives staff turnover
- Recruiting
- On-boarding
- Employee engagement
- Performance trends: quality, multiple benchmarks, absenteeism
