The New Economy
The economy today is certainly
different than it was before because of many different things,
such as technology, globalization, emerging requirements that did
not exist before, as well as the fact that anybody can be in the
market today from anywhere in the world. It is a different market
than it was. In addition, the speed of connectivity has also
certainly changed the market place.
The Challenge: Keeping Pace with
Change in the New Economy
During the past decade, we have
witnessed rapid and constant change of the nature of professional
and business activities in the marketplace. This transformation
has been fueled in large part by the rapid proliferation of new
technologies, particularly efficient microelectronics and
telecommunications technologies, in all sectors of the economy.
This has resulted in ever-increasing demand for improved
performance, cost effectiveness and efficiency from businesses
around the world.
Expectations
People have changed because of
changing conditions.
We can see it in customer
requirements; customer service demands are now much higher than
they have ever been. Customer expectations are higher because
customers see that it is possible for a well-functioning company
to serve them better than it could in the past when it did not
have the technology behind it.
Human Capital
The human being put the intelligence
into the initial programs to advance the technology. It was not
the computer that did it. The fundamental is that it is always
human activity that drives everything. Machines do not drive
anything except in the direction of which people push them.
High Performers
Organizations that manage their
human capital with systematic and appropriate evaluation methods
are proven to be better long-term performers.
The high performing organizations
have a culture that allows an environment of learning, sharing and
active communication, connecting as human beings, giving space to
people to think and rewarding them for their performance.
The Future
People through knowledge are clearly
the critical factors of the future. It is not land, capital and
equipment any longer. It is people and knowledge/information that
is the driver. If the right people are in place, they will pick
the right kind of hard assets that are needed for success.
Enabling People to Improve
Performance
People are your most valuable
resource. Your ability to manage your human resources is pivotal
to your organization’s success.
In today’s knowledge-driven world of
competition where constant knowledge development and life-long
learning are a norm, advanced level of achievement by your staff
is necessary. This is the only sure path to success for any
business in our merit-based environment. The guarantee of future
success in any field of endeavor very much depends on the ability
to deliver quality output and consistently maintain the right
level of productivity. To this end JOR offers the
Professional Performance Program. JOR
remains unsurpassed in its ability to provide the solutions that
maximize employee effectiveness. JOR’s service
portfolio includes all occupations and industrial classifications.
Performance & Potential
In order to improve the performance
and productivity of your staff, understanding and utilization of
their full potential is necessary. JOR will make
this happen through the Professional Performance Program
for each of your staff members.
Total Capabilities
The Professional
Development Process
within the program will identify the full potential for each staff
member enrolled in the program for effective utilization. The
full potential is identified in two streams:
-
Standard Capabilities include the
generally accepted and recognized capabilities such as
qualifications/education, acquired skills/abilities and work
experience from around the world
-
Ultimate
Capabilities are composed of
hidden potential, inner strength and personal qualities
The
standard capabilities in conjunction with the
ultimate capabilities make up the total capabilities
or full potential. The standard capabilities
are twenty-five percent and the ultimate capabilities
are the rest of the seventy-five percent.
JOR
is fully convinced that in all successful outcomes, individuals
are found to have drawn more from their ultimate
capabilities than from their standard capabilities.
Numerous studies have been conducted over the past several years
under JOR’s auspices to determine the requisites for
permanent business success in the global marketplace. Education,
acquired skills/abilities and experience make up only 25% of
requisites and are not sufficient to guarantee success. JOR
has evidenced the fact that the other 75% of requisites for
success are comprised of one’s hidden potential, inner strength
and personal qualities. JOR has also found that
these 75% of the requisites for success remain untapped and
under-utilized by most people.
Performance Measurement &
Management
It is vital that all the
capabilities are determined and measured. JOR will
ensure that the full potential is well managed. The PCT
Professional Recognition Program will attest and provide
the necessary confirmation for all the ultimate capabilities
identified.
This way all the different
components that make up the total capabilities are
effectively utilized, which has been found to be mutually
beneficial.
JOR’s Standards of
Satisfactory Employment
To this day satisfactory
employment remains inconsistently defined around the
world. JOR’s professional definition of
satisfactory employment is a job that makes full use of
one’s full potential. Full potential or total capabilities
include both standard capabilities and
ultimate capabilities.
The Professional Development
Process within the Professional Performance Program
minutely analyzes each component of the total
capabilities. This leads to maximize the
utilization of one’s total capabilities for the
benefit of the business.
JOR’s Standards of
Satisfactory Employment are attained
in a three-step process
-
satisfying
and fulfilling activities
-
recognition
and progression at work
-
on-the-job
financial rewards
Effective Utilization of Human
Capital
People policies are increasingly
taking center stage in the economy today because they contribute
directly and indirectly to organizations’ ability to achieve its
over all goals. They can affect organizations’ value in many
different ways.
Businesses with good people policies
sustain superior performance – they integrate people policies
within their business strategy.
It is extremely important for any
organization to ensure that all their personnel remain constantly
satisfied. Their perceptions, attitudes and behaviors can
significantly influence the organizations’ performance. The
yardstick to measure the level of satisfaction is an on-going
challenge. JOR has successfully identified a very
practical methodology which is proven to provide
definitive results.
The process engages the imagination
and passions of the employees so that their motivation comes from
within. We will understand who your employees really are – what
their interests and skillets are – and then match them up with
work that will challenge them.
Recognition and Rewards
The three-step process is
facilitated in the Professional Performance Program
under JOR’s Standards of Satisfactory Employment as
referenced above. The program allows the identification of
suitable duties and responsibilities with necessary revisions to
the pertinent job descriptions for the participating staff
members. The resulting satisfaction and fulfillment will allow
them to perform at their best. Consistent improved performance by
them will then impact the business output positively allowing
appropriate recognition. In turn the staff members shall
justifiably receive financial and other deserving rewards.
Security
It is important for your staff to be
secured and have a worthwhile career. Over time the
Professional Performance Program will allow your staff to
enjoy:
Assessment Results Report
This extensive computer-generated
report is presented to you after the completion of the
Assessment Process and the Occupational & Business
Verification Process for each of your participating staff
members.
In order to establish attainable
goals for their continuous long-term success, appropriate planning
is extremely important.
We will collect the necessary
information from you. This information is analyzed and processed
by JOR, which is then presented in the
Assessment Results Report. The report is
the pivotal point in the entire process and its presentation marks
a new beginning. It will become the road map to success for the
participating staff and the business operations.
Professional Market Orientation
Personalized guidance and directions
are provided in the Assessment Results Reports for
each participant. Professional Market Orientation
involves thorough and complete preparation, which may take
approximately eighty hours of the participants’ time. The
preparation can be handled after work hours over a period of time.
All the input is not required at the same time. This preparation
does not entail training. It is absolutely customized, based on each
participant’s total capabilities as identified through the
assessment and the occupational and business verification processes.
Professional Market Orientation may include business
and other visitations, specialized reading, review of audio/visual
material and presentation of written reports.
This logical approach allows the
participants to remain updated about their lines of businesses
and/or professions on a continuing basis. This is very important in
today’s rapidly changing environment, becoming outdated means losing
markets.
The impact of the Professional
Market Orientation is immediate and the continuing updating
leads to permanent success for the participants within their
endeavors. Unfortunately there are no short cuts to permanent
success. Access to relevant and accurate information on an on-going
basis has been proven to be one of the most important prerequisites
to success. JOR will lay the path for your staff to
obtain it through the Professional Market Orientation.
