Job Success Indicator
Most companies have Job Position Descriptions describing the responsibilities and authority of a job supported by a listing of the primary tasks to be performed. What most companies do not have are indicators or standards for assessing how well an individual matches their criteria for success. Without Success Indicators, selection becomes a hit-or-miss proposition. What defines success in a specific job? Can you articulate and identify these criteria? The Job Success Standards Library is a repository of performance indicators for a multiplicity of jobs.
Cleaver International’s Job Success Indicator Library (JSIL) remedies this glaring omission of job success standards. With Job Descriptions and Job Success Standards, jobs and people are effectively linked to company vision and goals. The Cleaver Job Success Indicator Library is the fundamental manager’s tool for shaping jobs and people to company vision and profitability.
“Success is more than a gut feeling” |
A fundamental tenet of the People Development System is the recognition that ongoing effectiveness is an ongoing adjustment process. This is a developmental process. It requires continual reshaping and adjusting of individual performance to changing business conditions. It starts with the hiring decision.
- How well do the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate fit your requirements for success on the job?
- What developmental effort and investment will you have to make to realize the value of your investment in that individual?
- Every hiring decision is an investment requiring constant monitoring and development. How well does each candidate fit your needs and standards for success?
Each decision is your competitive edge, the element that creates a dynamic, desirable work environment.
"Defining Success Standards" is the initial step in accountability. With a clear description of expectations outlining the characteristics being sought, one can objectively identify how well an individual fits the criteria being sought, and can articulate the view to others. This moves selection beyond just a gut feeling.
Job Success Indicator Library Features
The Job Success Indicator Library guides you in the development of success standards for each job. It is your starting point. The Library greatly simplifies the determination of standards. It is a ready-made database of successful job standards developed in business. Using over fifty years feedback from executives and managers with whom we have worked to shape their business success, we have distilled a series of thirteen factors that occur over and over again in everyday industry and business settings. The JSIL makes these standards available to your managers for defining success criteria for jobs.
In our work with thousands of companies over the years, we have isolated ten indicators that go beyond the basic three: Education, Work Experience, and Personal Projection. Depending upon the level of the job position, those items gain or lose relevance. Recognizing this fact the JSIL has been designed so that your managers can add, subtract or substitute success criteria to tailor the indicators to particular job needs.
