As a leader, you know your company. You know the nitty-gritty on how to do what you do. You want to boost your company and thrive and survive in today’s environment; you continually see challenges, but sometimes it seems all you can do is put out the latest fire rather than deal with achieving your long-term goals, visions, and plans. Hence, how can you best deal with the requirements of one of your most important components—your employees—the people you have hired to do what needs to be done to succeed and realize your visions of success? Just as you need to handle your financial and intellectual capital, you need to control your human capital.

For instance, an Electronics Manufacturing Systems business—selling and servicing equipment used in the manufacturing of electronic equipment and components—experienced above-average market turnover in its sales and service staff and difficulty attracting replacements. The senior management team, inclusive of the HR business partner, diagnosed the problem as having two root problems. The problems stemmed from inequitable compensation, below-market pay practices, and the performance management process. These lead to paying inequities and poor morale. A new compensation idea was developed with a Total Compensation Focus. Recruitments were market priced, new job grades and salary ranges were incorporated, and all jobs were placed in grades based on their contribution and market price. Incentive compensation was included based on market analysis, for entry-level and lower-paid jobs virtually, all compensation as a base salary. Professional, sales jobs, managerial included variable compensation based on organization and individual results. Managers were instructed in performance management and appraisal, including building SMART objectives and evaluating results. The plan was well-received by managers and employees. Compensation inequities were significantly reduced in the first year, and multi-year action plans were in place for all others. Turnover was reduced by one-third. A review of performance appraisals showed improvements in the quality of the documentation and the distribution of ratings. Merit increases were linked to performance appraisal results and the merit increase in the budget. The improved business performance resulted in the incentive compensation providing solid recognition of business and individual results.
