Tasks:
1. Choose a job within your environment and interview at least 3 people on that job to create a Job Requirement Matrix and a Job Rewards Matrix. (Please consult the text book for Job requirement and the job rewards matrix)
2. Create a realistic job preview for the potential applicants for this job using the Job Requirement Matrix and Job Rewards Matrix developed in task 1.
Realistic Job Previews
Definition: provide both positive and potentially negative information to job candidates.
Rather than trying to sell the job and company by presenting the job opportunity in the most positive light, realistic job previews strive to present an honest and accurate picture.
The goal is not to deter candidates by focusing on factors that might be perceived negatively, but to provide objective information that job candidates can use to self-assess their fit with the job and organization.
Job Rewards Analysis
• Job rewards analysis: identifies the intrinsic and extrinsic rewards of a job
- Analyzes the intrinsic rewards that are non-monetary and derived from the work itself and the firm's culture
• Including the satisfaction of meeting personal goals, continuous learning, and doing meaningful work.
- Analyzes the extrinsic rewards that have monetary value of a job.
• Include base pay, bonuses, and benefits.
• The combination of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards are a job's total rewards
• Employee value proposition (EVP): the intrinsic and extrinsic rewards an employee receives by working for a particular employer in return for their job performance
• Communicating your EVP:
- First determine exactly what attracts job candidates, and why employees enjoy their work.
- Then craft a message to clearly state what makes your company the obvious choice over the competition.
