Operational Excellence
• Firms uniqueness or competitive advantage is tied to cost
• Offer products ‘our way’ to customers at a price lower than competitors
• Example: McDonalds, Federal Express Jio and other fast food chains
WALMART:
❖ ‘Everyday Low Prices’ – ELP, consistently pricing products lower than rivals
❖ Made customers addicted to lower prices along a large range of assorted products
❖ Innovative supply chain management with its fleet drivers using the most efficient
routes and reducing empty miles considerably
❖ Using Barcodes and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for effective
9 low cost
inventory management
Operational Excellence
• Firms following an Operational Excellence Strategy need work force:

Product &/or Service Leadership
Innovation is the key
Apple, 3M, Intel, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Nike – the ‘new way
SONY:
❖ ‘To do what others do not do’ – 1st CD player, 1st portable cassette player, 1st
Walkman
❖ ‘Mavica’, digital camera by Sony, 1997, had 50% higher sales than Kodak and Casio
for its ease of use
❖ Sony’s Virtual Reality PlayStation, 2016 focused on video games,11camera sensors and
entertainment over TV and smartphones

Customer Intimicay
Customer Value & Relationship is the key driver
HOME DEPOT:
Focuses on the customer’s lifetime value and not on the value of a single transaction,
building customer loyalty in the long run
Clerks at Home Depot spend as much time as needed by a customer to get the right
product to fix his/her home repair problem
Strategy is not built around selling products but providing all the necessary
information and service
• Customer intimacy value proposition offers unique solutions customised for the clients

New Role of HR: Two dimensions—Dave Ulrich
Long Term
Short Term 18
ASSESSING HR COMPETENCIES
• HR’s employee advocacy role with focus on serving the workforce, growth and
retention of critical workforce
• The focus of the HR function should correlate with the firms lifecycle and
strategic choice
19
Competencies of the HR workforce are their strengths and weakness in the specific areas of
expected HR performance
1. Administration Expertise:- HR function can be conceived as having a process and tactical focus
on administrative efficiency on delivery of HR transactions
Example: LinkedIN, motto ‘Wok hard play hard’, hosts team musical parties to reward employees for
their hard work, ‘InDay’ once a month where employees set aside regular work and work on new
ideas/areas, Employee turnover less than 8% and promotions over 17%
II. Employee Champion/ Relations:- Its an operational focus on serving the workforce and also
the growth and retention of critical components of workforce
Example: Johnson and Johnson – ‘SUMMIT’, an integrated platform for self-enrollment in training
and learning; ‘MyDevelopment’, global personal development platform with 3 Es – Education,
Exposure, Experience; career conversations with managers throughout 20the year, encourage
employees to build development plans
III. Strategy Execution:- HR better enables the firm to execute its strategy by aligning
Business practices with business strategy
IV. Change Agency/Workforce:- HR should not focus on only one area or role but also keep a
tap on cultural change and help the workforce to adapt to the coming changes (Unilever
example)
Example: Microsoft’s Chief People Officer, Kathleen Hogan, has offered flexibility as to ‘work
site’ (home or office) and work hours (start/end times, full-time/part-time)
21
to its employees in
the backdrop of the pandemic and also offers guidance to all its employees and managers in
case need be
FOR INSTANCE
• Firms pursuing a product or service leadership strategy would most likely want
HR focused on populating the firm with the very best R&D or technical in order
to distinguish itself from its competitors
22
ASSESSING HR SYSTEMS
• Three ways of assessing HR Systems:
Alignment
Operational Excellence
Product Leadership
Customer Intimacy
Integration
Differentiation
23
Integration
24
• Firms business strategy, communication about business strategy, strategic
directions and design of the work all needs to be integrated
• Huselid’s survey of some 1000 firms indicate that alignment and integration
of firm’s HR plays a critical role in firm success and operational efficiency
• Substantial changes in market value occurs based on the extent to which the
HR system are aligned and integrated
25
Differentiation
• Contract Service: Readily available human capital with little strategic leverage
This work is far from core in delivering firms value proposition
and is candidate for out sourcing
27
LINKING TO THE BUSINESS SCORECARD
• Studies like the Gallup survey and Sears’ survey have established a
relationship between workforce behavior, operational success, customer
success and financial success

What is Job Analysis ?
Defined as: “The procedure for determining the duties and skill requirements of a
job and the kind of person who should be hired for it.” (Dessler, 2016).
It entails gathering the following information:
➢ Duties & responsibilities
➢ Methods to carry out the job
➢ Techniques, systems & procedures
➢ Relationship that must exist between the job-holder, his superior,
subordinates and Colleagues.
➢ Employee requirements

JOB DESIGN
Goals of Job Design
To meet the organisational requirements such
as higher productivity, operational efficiency,
quality of service etc.
To satisfy the needs of the individual
employees.
To integrate the individual’s need with the
organisational requirement.
Approaches to Job Design
1. ENGINEERING APPROACH
Repetition
Mechanical pacing
No end product
Little social interaction
2. Human Relations Approach
• Recognised the need to design the jobs
which are interesting & rewarding.
• According to Herzberg, job designer has
to introduce hygienic factors adequately
to reduce dissatisfaction & build
motivating factors.
• Emphasis on job enrichment; meeting the
psychological needs of the emp. in
designing jobs.

Performance Appraisal
Programs
• Performance Appraisal
➢ Evaluating an employee’s current and/or past
performance relative to his or her performance
standards. A process, typically performed
annually by a supervisor for a subordinate,
designed to help employees understand their
roles, objectives, expectations, and
performance success.
• Performance management
➢ The process employers use to make sure employees
are working toward organizational goals.The process
of creating a work environment in which people can
perform to the best of their abilities.

Sources of Performance Appraisal
• Manager and/or Supervisor
➢ Appraisal done by an employee’s manager and
reviewed by a manager one level higher.
• Self-Appraisal
➢ Appraisal done by the employee being evaluated,
generally on an appraisal form completed by the
employee prior to the performance interview.
• Subordinate Appraisal
➢ Appraisal of a superior by an employee, which is
more appropriate for developmental than for
administrative purposes.
Sources of Performance Appraisal
• Peer Appraisal
➢ Appraisal by fellow employees, compiled into a
single profile for use in an interview conducted by
the employee’s manager.
➢ Why peer appraisals are not used very often:
1. Peer ratings are simply a popularity contest.
2. Managers are reluctant to give up control over the
appraisal process.
3. Those receiving low ratings might retaliate against
their peers.
4. Peers rely on stereotypes in ratings.
Sources of Performance Appraisal
• Team Appraisal recognizes team accomplishment
rather than individual performance
• Customer Appraisal
➢ A performance appraisal that, seeks evaluation from
both external and internal customers
Fig
• PROS
➢ The system is more comprehensive in that responses are
gathered from multiple perspectives.
➢ Quality of information is better. (Quality of respondents is more
important than quantity.)
➢ It emphasizes both internal/external customers and teams.
➢ It may lessen bias/prejudice since feedback comes from more
people, not one individual.
➢ Feedback from peers and others may increase employee self-
development.
Figure 8–5 Pros and Cons of 360-Degree Appraisal (cont’d)
• CONS
➢ The system is complex in combining all the responses.
➢ Feedback can be intimidating and cause resentment if employee
feels the respondents have ―gangedup.
➢ There may be conflicting opinions, though they may all be
accurate from the respective standpoints.
➢ The system requires training to work effectively.
➢ Employees may collude or ―game the system by giving invalid
evaluations to one another.
➢ Appraisers may not be accountable if their evaluations are
anonymous.
360-Degree Performance Appraisal
System Integrity Safeguards
• Assure anonymity.
• Make respondents accountable.
• Prevent –ganging up of the system.
• Use statistical procedures.
• Identify and quantify biases.

Individuals form a ratio of their inputs to outcomes in their job and then compare the
value of that ratio with the value of the ratio for other individuals in similar jobs.

Different Job Evaluation Systems:
SCOPE OF COMPARISON
Job Classification system: A system of job evaluation in which jobs are classified and grouped
according to a series of predetermined wage grades.
Successive grades require increasing amounts of job responsibility, skill, knowledge, ability, or other
factors selected to compare jobs.
Point System: A quantitative job evaluation procedure that determines the relative value of a job
by the total points assigned to it.
Permits jobs to be evaluated quantitatively on the basis of factors or elements—compensable factors—
that constitute the job.
Point Manual: A handbook that contains a description of the compensable factors and the degrees to
which these factors may exist within the jobs.
Factor Comparison System: A job evaluation system that permits the evaluation process to be
accomplished on a factor-by-factor basis by developing a factor comparison scale.
163
The compensable factors of a job evaluated are compared against the compensable factors of key jobs
within the organization that serve as the job evaluation scale.

Dismissal
Individual focus
Involuntary termination ‘with cause’ happens if an employer fires an employee for reasons of
performance or misconduct.
Dismissal is the act of removing or terminating the job or employment of an employee
Dismissal is sometimes also termed as firing or sacking of the employee.
182
There are four bases for dismissal: unsatisfactory performance, misconduct, lack of
qualifications for the job, and changed requirements of (or elimination of) the job
184
Maybe done to reduce outgoing money or expenditures or redirect focus for becoming
more financially solvent.
• A worker who has served for at least a year of continuous service cannot be
retrenched unless served a notice three months in advance and prior permission from
the appropriate government. The said application has to be submitted by the
employer along with the reasons for such retrenchment.
• Application is scrutinized giving both the parties a chance to have their say If there’s
no reply from the appropriate government for a period of sixty days from the date of
application, the permission shall be deemed to have been granted. Further, it is to be
noted that the said decision could be reviewed by the said appropriate
government suo-moto or on application from any of the sides.
Layoff (without cause): Involuntary termination is ‘without cause’ because it happens when
an employer lays off an employee, typically due to changing market conditions or business
decisions that require the dismissal of workers
The termination is involuntary and ‘without a cause’ as the employees are dismissed
through no fault of their own and against their will. It is initiated by the employer.
Could be temporary for a specified period
186
CLOSURE
Permanent closing down of a place of employment the employer is constrained to close the
establishment permanently.
Nonetheless, the due procedure has to be complied with when it comes to rolling out a plan of
closure; the said procedure, as set out by the Act, has been detailed below.
Provisions in the Act:
The employer has to necessarily apply at least ninety days in advance to the appropriate government.
A copy of the said application has to be given to the representatives of the workmen as well.
After considering the same, the appropriate government may or may not grant the employer to close
down.
If the government does not respond within sixty days from application, the permission will be
deemed to have been granted.
187
Voluntary retirement system
When
Recession in business
Intense competition
Joint-ventures with foreign collaborations
Takeovers and mergers
Obsolescence of product/technology
The voluntary retirement scheme is used by organisations as a way to cut down the number
of employees and hence the cost, It is also referred to as the golden handshake and is a
cordial way for companies to let go of some of their employees
188
However, in order to make sure that no company misuses it, the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947 mandates
certain stipulations that all organisations must follow under the voluntary retirement scheme
Voluntary retirement is not a kind of forced retirement. It’s totally in the hands of employees to leave the
job or to keep the job
Voluntary retirement scheme is applied to only those employees who have completed 10 years of service or
above the age of 40 years
The person taking voluntary retirement is not allowed to apply in another firm that belongs to the same
industry
The person taking voluntary retirement is offered various benefits by the company like rehabilitation
facilities, counselling, etc
At the time of retirement provident fund and gratuity dues are to be provided to the Employees
Under this scheme, there are many benefits that could also be offered to the Employees like rehabilitation
facilities to staff, advice on managing funds, etc. which will automatically improve their income

Employee/s Specific:
Financial costs - loss of salary, borrowing from friends, relatives etc.
Psychological Stages (D.A.B.D.A): Anxiety stress, lowered self esteem, depression etc.
Denial--“there is some misunderstanding, I think I need to sort it out” etc.
Anger--“Why me? It’s not fair”; “How can this happen to me?”; “Who is to blame?”; “Why would this happen?”
Bargaining--“I’d give anything to be back – work hard, take up the shift that I always avoided or even work under the manager
that I hated.” Or: “If only they’d take me back, I’d promise to stay focused and perform better”
Depression-- “There is no meaning in working hard for organizations like this. There is nothing to look forward to. It’ll be really
tough to find anything. I feel like giving up. What’s the point in putting up a fight? After all, what am I fighting for?”
Acceptance-- “It’s going to be okay.”; “There is no point fighting it anymore. I am done with this organization; I may as well
prepare for something new, possibly better.”
Other employee/s: feeling of guilt, fear, anxiousness, feeling of loss of co-worker/s etc.
191
Understanding the Psychological Process
No short cuts-- better to go through these stages as they are natural emotions experienced
People go through these stages at their own pace, staying at each stage for varying
durations.
Those who stay longer have psychological adjustment problems and typically experience
negative effects of stress.
Another situation ---people might carry anger or depression to their next job causing
problems with productivity, interpersonal relationships and work efficiency on their new
job.
