INSKILLINCO AND JOB ENRICHMENT
InskillinCo’s holistic, innovative approach to sustaining competitive edge is developing and utilizing the staff’s talents. Providing the following incentives and initiatives helps the company achieve monetary and cultural growth:
Demonstrating a strong commitment to diversity and training
Providing employees with stock options
Giving employees a sense of pride and ownership in the company
Developing growth and training program to enhance employee satisfaction and award achievement
InskillinCo values diversity and encourages inclusion throughout the 200 countries in which the company operates. The corporate culture is focused on sustaining fundamental growth for the present and the future of the company. Enabling employees to think and freely improve upon processes, take responsibility for their actions, and accept failure is part of the learning process.
InskillinCo strives to retain employee talent and make the corporation a place for individuals to grow personally, professionally, and diversely. Because of the company’s ongoing commitment to educating and cross-training staff, employee resistance to change is limited. Once hired, InskillinCo employees undergo training in each area of the organization, thus becoming well-rounded and knowledgeable on both multicultural and multinational levels.
However, one of the most interesting ways by which InskillinCo’s tries to maintain its competitive edge is that employees are given the opportunity to constantly redesign their own jobs. Job design involves envisioning and defining specification of work systems related to a particular job. Usually by the time a company has finished the process of designing a job, some aspect of that job has changed, making the job description invalid and written. Use of education and cross -training ensures that the employee is always up to speed when it comes to job performance, while at the same time enriching and enlarging the job experience.
The company, therefore, strongly emphasizes periodic examination of whether they should revise or modify existing jobs. When an organization is trying to improve quality and efficiency, a review of work units and processes may require a fresh look at how jobs are redesigned.
