The struggle to feel valued is one of the most insidious and least acknowledged issues in organizations.

RETHINKING EMPLOYEE EVALUATION

Something you produce—a service, physical product, event, document, or other countable output—that is proven to influence Relevant Business Results.
Part of the Meaningful Competence® Toolkit
What Employee Value Looks Like
If you're going to measure Value-Added Outputs, you'll need to understand how they represent value.

Here's how to get the most out of the Value-Added Output. Get them right, and watch value get created.

The Fast Food Drive-Thru Clerk
Maybe you think it's enough to have someone work their scheduled hours. But what if you can agree on a Value-Added Output that brings your team more value and engages the clerk?
-
The Account Executive
If you want account executives to help each other, they need to see the value in doing so. That means they need to realize more value by working with others than by just maximizing their personal commissions.
Let's Talk e-VALUE-ation
I'm interested in improving employee evaluation. That's why I've created The Meaningful Competence® Toolkit. It's time for a new focus on e-VALUE-ation.
I would like your feedback about Value-Added Outputs, and will gladly identify a Value-Added Output for one of your toughest jobs to obtain that feedback.

The stories:
- No one will tell me what it takes to break into management.
- Do leaders actually know how much can be expected of us?
- I really liked the company, but I never knew if they really liked me. So I left.
- These new employees just don't seem to know that business runs on creating value for the company.
The results:
- 19% of employees say they're engaged.
- 1/3 of employees are the working dead.
- Half of your employees are looking for that next job.
- Employees are revolting against surveillance management.
The proposal:
Let's rethink employee evaluation. Let's implement e-VALUE-ation.
Untapped Value: The Power of Meaningful Competence provides you with the tools and strategy to continuously identify, agree on, create, and communicate employee value.
-
As an individual contributor, you deserve to be recognized and respected for the value you bring.
-
As a supervisor, you benefit from using the toolkit to gain agreement on what value looks like and to obtain feedback concerning each employee's created value, without having to constantly observe each employee.
-
As the executive, you can enjoy a culture in which employees know their value and know they will increase their value by working in your company.
