    Can Autonomy Mastery and Purpose Work in Today’s Business Environment?

    We’ve all been beat over the head for the last 18 months or so with the idea that incentives don’t work.  We’ve watched Wall Street bonuses become the “it girl” for bad incentives.  We’ve read and listened to Dan Pink talk about how incentives are not the best way to drive performance in an organization.  As HR people we get it.  We know a more holistic and enlightened approach is the best way forward. But a thought struck me as I read yet another survey about employee engagement scores dropping and how companies must apply a longer-term focus on employee development and engagement. Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose (AMP) – the Dan Pink solution – can only work if you have a long runway.  In other words… AMP cannot be implemented in a quarter or month or a day.  In order for a company to see any results from a strategy that uses these tools, they need time. And time we don’t have. We don’t have it as an organization.  And we don’t have it as employees. We NEED (Want) It Now The economy has taken a huge financial toll on our employees.  Raises have become scarce and if they are found at all they are in the very low single digits.  All the while, inflation has maintained its speed.  Even with raises, employees have less money for the lifestyle they’ve grown accustomed to.  An article on MarketWatch from August  says:  “Employees will get an average increase of about 2.8% in 2012 on average, up slightly from the 2.6% employers said they plan to shell out this year, according to a survey of 773 U.S. companies by Towers Watson, a consulting firm. Those figures include all types of workers, from executives to clerical workers, exempt and nonexempt, salaried and those paid by the hour.” But the article goes on to say… “The consumer price index for all urban consumers rose 3.6% in the 12 months ending July 2011.” This creates a real problem.  Employees are looking for a better way… a better job… better pay, a better benefits package.  And they are looking to get that in the short term.  They need it in the short term.  Companies are looking for more engagement, innovation and commitment.  And they are looking for that in the short term.  They need it in the short term. Unfortunately, what we all want – can’t be done quickly.  As good, moral corporate people we want to be more sophisticated and run the company based on autonomy, mastery and purpose. And as employees we want to work at a company that gives us those things.  But neither audience wants to wait for them.  The employee needs security and safety.  The company wants confidence the employees will stay long enough so that the AMP approach shows a return.  But it won’t happen. It’s a push. Everyone Blinks When given the opportunity to jump ship to a new company (which always looks better – grass being greener and all) the employee will take that chance.  The devil you know is always scarier than the devil you don’t.  The companies, having little faith their employees will stick around and contribute once given autonomy, mastery and purpose – don’t invest in those elements and end up falling back on the tried and true – reward them now or get them out. My read – in order for companies and employees to really reach their potential and get what they both want, both groups have to have faith in the future. But no one does.  Employees don’t trust the company.  The company doesn’t trust the employee.  Result?  They both retreat and go with the less risky approach.  They hold back, they go for the quick win.  They go for the sure thing that is visible and tangible. For employees, they look for the quick reward –typically the salary increase from a new employer.  For the company – it’s quick rewards and easy interventions– whether incentives for measurable short-term sales increases, cost cutting or impacting some other line item that can be measured in the quarterly reports. Real engagement that drives real company results is a function of trust and time.  Both of which are in short supply for all interested parties. For Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose to work, you need to trust your employees and they need to trust your company. So… my questions:  As employees and organizations, are we in a negative feedback loop?  And if so, what is the way out?  I have some thoughts – but am more interested in yours. Can we actually create the trust needed on both sides in order to leverage the more sustainable motivation and engagement principles or are we doomed to continue short-termism? Editor's Note -  Paul Hebert is the Managing Director for  i2i  (an influence consultancy), the brain behind  Incentive Intelligence  and a recognized authority on incentives and performance motivation. Want to know what's going to motivate your people to perform at their best and impact the bottom line? Want to know whether your service award program really means anything at all? And are there psychological principles that drive your employees' behavior? Paul's your guy… unless you fervently bow down to Maslow.

    The FOT Interview: RIM/Blackberry’s Kat Drum

    FOT founder Kris Dunn recently sat down with Kat Drum , Head of Global Employment Brand and Social Media Strategies at Research In Motion , which most of you know as “RIM”, the maker of the Blackberry. We wanted to do this interview because in connecting with Kat, we were intrigued by the passion Kat has for RIM, especially in the face of all the media focus on the RIM product line, the attack on RIM market share by the iPhone and Android product line and all the naysayers who claim no corporate drones will be holstering a Blackberry in two years due to the aforementioned competitive forces.  Additionally, it's always interesting to see kids with blackberry's and wonder what's up with that. We didn't have to ask Kat to defend the brand.  She did that from the jump, which made us believe in RIM.  Passionate employees and leaders within a company have a way of doing that.  Let's roll the tape : 1. Kat Drum, aka “KD”.  Why is it that all the great ones have the initials “KD” (Kevin Durant, Kelly Dingee, and of course… um… Kris Dunn)?  Even better Kris, why do two cool people change the traditional spelling of their name and use a K vs C?  2. How has all the press about RIM impacted you on the recruiting trail?  What are candidates saying?  What are candidates asking in regarding to the ongoing business prospects of the company? The press immensely impacts candidate's confidence in Research In Motion as employer of choice.  Candidates want to know what we’re doing next to be innovative and stay competitive. Quite frankly, there is a lot that Research in Motion is doing great. We shipped 10.6 million BlackBerry devices in Q2 FY12. Service revenue surpassed $1 billion for the first time in Research In Motion’s history reflecting the over 40% growth in our subscriber base over the past year.  The company is going through a transition but is still providing our 70 million customers globally and recently launched 7 new products in 36 days. BB7 marks our largest and most successful global launch of BlackBerry smartphones in our history. We are continuing to innovate with BBX as our future OS and for app non-believers over 1 billion apps downloaded to date and over 4 million daily downloads. There is a huge story to share.  We tell our candidates, if you want to help build and shape the future of the global smartphone industry, Research In Motion is where you need to be. Research In Motion is here to stay this is a young and changing market and there is tremendous opportunity in it. 3. You’re so well regarded in the recruiting industry that everyone assumes if you wanted to flee RIM based on the recent press, you could do that at the drop of a hat.  But when we finally had the chance to talk, I was awestruck regarding how personally you take your role at RIM and how much “fight” instead of “flight” instinct you have.  What’s up with that?  Why are you so ready to lay it on the line for RIM?  Kris, for those that know me, I’m a loyal and dedicated being, I seize opportunities and I don’t go home without a fight, Go Big or Go Home is a favorite mantra of mine. I love working at Research In Motion.  I work with some of the nicest, collaborative and smartest people in the world. Research In Motion knows what true collaboration means. No ego. No hidden agendas. Have an idea? Implement it. Not many companies can stand behind that.  Maybe it’s the fact that I grew up close to the Canadian border that my values match those of Research In Motion. Whatever the reason, it works for me and I think Research In Motion’s company culture is one of North America’s best kept secrets.  I get the privilege of building a world-class employment branding program and sharing that secret with the world.  4. You keep mentioning a new term that I like a lot – “Candidate Confidence”.  What does that mean and what considerations do companies have to make to grow “candidate confidence” over time?  What special considerations and action do struggling companies have to take to combat neutral or negative candidate confidence? I’ve been in the employment branding space for over 12 years.  So much time is spent on maximizing the hot new channels. First it was the print movement to job boards in the 90s, the continued social media movement and now recruiting in the mobile space. Everyone wants to make the most of the upcoming new channels.  What people don’t spend enough time is nailing the right message for candidates to believe in a company. I’ve been through 5 layoffs in 4 years during my time in Seattle.  I started thinking differently about the power of employment branding when Starbucks reputation took a hit and Starbucks gossip blog was killing it even more, the stock was down to $8.00 a share. Every company has ups and downs.  The fun part of a true employment branding professional is to turn around a company’s’ image to candidates through global PR initiatives.  Rebuild candidate confidence first. Then play with the new shiny objects in our space. 5. What’s interesting to you in the recruiting and employment branding world these days?   What’s played out?  What’s the recruiting brand equivalent of a pair of stone-washed jeans from the 80’s?   Segmented messaging is important to me.  Targeted value propositions to candidates. People have different motivations to work for a company. There is no one size fits all message anymore. I personally think Facebook recruitment is played out. Richard Cho of Facebook recently shared with an audience at Mrec2011 that more people are accessing Facebook via their smartphone versus a desktop, which to me, means candidates aren’t seeing your ads and they aren’t wasting their time on a company’s Facebook page. They are in and out to check out photos and correspond with their friends, not to find a job.  I also think mobile apps are where it’s at.  Apps are stickier than a mobile web experience and can provide job updates at a candidate's fingertips. Fast, targeted and convenient.  Of course, what better comparison to the 80’s than a huge Sunday print ad.  Editor's note – The chart below is the global downloads split of the new RIM app JobsInMotion , which underscores the global diversity of RIM, and some of the mobile themes Kat refers to in #5. Thanks to Kat for her time and to RIM for allowing a internal leader to speak openly and honestly.  We'll be watching the smartphone/device wars and as a result of hearing from Kat, rooting for RIM more than we were before.

    15 things about the Australian labour market you probably didn’t know: 2011 Update

    Video Branding Spotlight: "Leap Year" by Hiscox Insurance…

    When it comes to employment branding, video is one of the smartest plays you can make related to content to push out to perspective candidates.  Writing is hard – so a corporate blog can often go dark after about 20 well-intentioned posts. Nothing kills your brand worse than an abandoned blog (Look Sarah, their last post was in March!  Are you sure they're still hiring?  Are they in business?) Video has it's own challenges – namely that a lot of people don't want to be on camera – but it's easier than writing for most.  Get a cheap camera and start having people talk about what they do – the production values you want are up to you, but the driving force with video should be to show real people (hopefully the cool ones) doing work and riffing on working at your company. There's also a master series type of feel that's available for companies with a lot of budget for video – how about a comedy/drama series that's related to life at your company?  The fact that I tell you “drama series” tells you the end product would be fictional, but the production values would be high and the product would really distinguish your brand from competitors. An example – albeit on the vendor side – comes from Hiscox Insurance, which recently launched a cool video series called “Leap Year” , which tracks five former corporate types through their initial foray into the entrepreneurial world, complete with all the sex, lies and videotape you would expect from a fictional series. This isn't a paid post – I got pitched by a PR person (like I do 50 times a week) and started watching the series and couldn't stop.  Take a look at the first episode below, click here for the site and subsequent episodes , then let your imagination run wild from a employment branding perspective.  How could you leverage this type of stuff if you had 50K to create a series? Interview with the exec in charge of the series (Kevin Kerridge) follows after the embedded video (email subscribers click through for video)… Editor’s Note –  Kevin Kerridge is the Director for  Small Business Insurance  at Hiscox USA. By day, Kevin spends his time making sure entrepreneurs are protected from the risks associated with owning a small business, such as those highlighted in Leap Year .  By night, he searches the parks of New York City for any legitimate rugby competition, but the US is as far behind on this as they are on selling insurance direct to small businesses.  He  previously led Hiscox’s small business insurance business in the UK, which covered 38,000 small businesses in 2010.  Here's my quick Q&A with him on the Leap Year series: 1. Why a web comedy video series as part of your marketing mix?  What led you to pulling the trigger on the production of this? Kevin: We developed Leap Year to speak to small business startups and entrepreneurs in an entertaining manner and establish Hiscox as a trusted voice in the small business discussion in the US.  A web series is a way for us to get our brand out there in an entertaining way and start a relationship and conversation with our current and potential customers.  My team was tasked with coming up with a new and exciting way to speak to our audiences, alongside our other marketing activities, and Leap Year has more than delivered on what we were looking for. Insurance is often seen as dull, gray, and out-of-touch – and we hope small businesses welcome a brand with color, personality and a new way of approaching things. 2.  Who's targeted by the web video series?  Why do you think this medium works for that target? Our small business insurance product is targeted at small businesses (Less than 10 employees) and solo entrepreneurs. I think small business owners and entrepreneurs will relate to the challenges the 5 main characters go through in starting up their own businesses, as well as the how great it felt to land their first client and build their own businesses from the ground up.  In addition, highlighting risk in a way that is engaging and entertaining – with educational content around the edges for those that want it rather than it being the equivalent of an insurance training video – is much more palatable and dare I say fun for small businesses to digest. 3.  Our blog is focused on the world of HR and recruiting.  Based on your knowledge of that sector, do you think a series like this could work for a company trying to ramp up their employment brand?  HR Consultants are one of the key professions Hiscox serves.  The objective of the web series is to create an ongoing conversation that will generate a longer lasting connection and brand understanding than other marketing activities.  This can work for employment brands as well, as long as the series itself is engaging and resonates with their target audience. 4.   What's the biggest lesson you learned regarding something to be avoided as you bring marketing like this to market?  What would you do differently as a result of that learning? With a web series there are a lot of moving parts and things can move very quickly compared to traditional advertising, online and offline.  You aren’t making a direct sales pitch, but you want to be sure people increase their understanding and appreciation of your brand after watching the series.  We’re only halfway through Leap Year right now, so it’s too soon to say exactly what I’d change if we were starting over again, but I think one of the most important things to manage is creating the proper balance between entertaining content and making sure your brand and message aren’t lost in the mix. 5. Who's your favorite character in this series and why?  That’s like asking me who’s my favorite child. An impossible one to answer! I have a soft spot for them all because each is different and interesting – with their own strengths, weaknesses, vulnerabilities, passions and annoyances. I hope any small business owner watching the series can relate to the different traits in each and see some of them in themselves or other entrepreneurs they know.

    Guess which state has added the most jobs in Australia?

    Western Australia gains more than its fair share of publicity whenever skills shortages are mentioned. As I wrote about last week in InSight #190, the WA Employment Minister has been on a jobs road show in Ireland and the UK, heavily promoting the vast numbers of new workers that the WA economy, fuelled by the mining boom, needs.  You would think, given all this publicity, that WA would be

    Don’t Be an HR Stealth Ninja…

    Is that redundant?  Ninjas and stealth are pretty similar no? Ninjas are known for their ability to strike and get out without being seen.  Same with stealth planes, trains and automobiles. The idea behind Ninjas and Stealth tech is they can get the job done without leaving any traces.  No one knows they were there and after they do their job, everyone sits around scratching their heads asking “what just happened?” I wonder sometimes if HR is like Stealth Ninjas? (As opposed to the loud obnoxious Ninjas you hear coming a mile away – throwing beer bottles and singing Irish ditties.)  Let me explain. Don’t Tell Anyone… I once was working with a large client a few years back on employee reward programs.  One day the HR person came to me and asked about a special recognition program for a small group – about 100 people – who had been working on an accounting system overhaul.  Now this was no small overhaul.  We’re talking Oracle, not Quickbooks.  This was a global company with over 20,000 employees.  The system they were installing took over a year to put in place and would save them huge amounts of time and money.  It was a big deal.  Someone close to the project told me they were spending somewhere in the high 9 figures (that’s a number with 8 zeros -yeah – Zuckerburg type zeros.) So the HR person tells me that the implementation staff for the new system had been working 70, 80, heck 100 hours a week for about a year, and they wanted to reward them for the extra effort.  HR wanted to award the people with a travel option – for some around $1,500 in travel, others, who had really been the workhorses of the project, up to $3,000. Easy-peasy I said.  No worries.  I’ll get right on that.  And, I said, “ You might want to consider doing something that they could put in their cubes to commemorate their recognition.  Nothing expensive – just something a bit more permanent.”   I explained to my HR contact, that while the travel award was a great idea – having something that would stay around for a while and remind them of the travel experience after the fact would be nice. And, I suggested, the commemorative item would be viewed by others in the organization, who would then see how the company valued extra effort – and subtly communicate the behaviors the company valued.  A huge win-win. Well, you’da thought I’d killed their cat.  I got a look that not-so-subtly communicated that the idea of a permanent award was the.dumbest idea.ever.  The HR person went on to explain to me in the same voice you use with a three-year old… “We don’t want anyone to know we’re doing this.  We are going to tell the recipients not to talk about it.  They aren't allowed to tell ANYONE.  We don’t want other employees knowing that we did this.  Think about it.  If this got out, everyone would expect to be recognized and get a reward.  Everyone.  I can’t handle that.  I don’t have a way to do that – nor do I have the budget.  We’re just going to keep this very quiet.” Okaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy…. Stealth Recognition coming right up! HR Is About Being Invisible That was when I learned that for most companies, great HR is invisible HR.  In many cases, top brass believes that the HR you never hear about is the HR that is doing their job.  Keeping the masses quiet. Keeping the problems from surfacing.  Keeping the lid on anything that might smell of teen spirit.   HR is the Stealth Ninja.  They come in and do their job and leave and everyone wonders how it got done.  No muss.  No fuss.   And no change. I’m convinced that the HR person in my story would probably have been a better contributor to the organization if they had made this recognition HUGE .  They should have screamed it from the top of the building – and down the tony mahogany hallways.  They should have made sure EVERYONE saw the award.  But they wanted it stealthy, sneaky. HR Should Be Loud and Proud My recommendation – HR should be the loudest department in the building.  HR should be out in front, leading the charge, taking the risks.  HR is the one department in the entire company that represents the people – the employees – the real engine of differentiation.  Each day that HR stays stealthy is another day your people are hidden from the top brass and another day they are NOT seen as valuable. Be noisy.  Be loud.  Be radical.   Don’t be a Stealth Ninja. Editor's Note -  Paul Hebert is the Managing Director for  i2i  (an influence consultancy), the brain behind  Incentive Intelligence  and a recognized authority on incentives and performance motivation. Want to know what's going to motivate your people to perform at their best and impact the bottom line? Want to know whether your service award program really means anything at all? And are there psychological principles that drive your employees behavior? Paul's your guy… unless you fervently bow down to Maslow.

    Weak Employment Growth Should Not Have Surprised | Pink Sheet riot

    If you believe, as I do, that the employment growth of the past year was all due to government stimulus spending and Fed money printing, then you might conclude that jobs will disappear more rapidly than usual in the second half of the year . So while the current numbers were consistent with the recent trend and should not have been surprising, if you look ahead, there's every reason to believe that they will get worse .
