Workforce Quality
i.
Organizational performance management is the process of making
sure that the organisation resources are being properly used to achieve
organisation goals.
ii.
If an employee is affectively committed to their organisation, it means
that they want to stay at their organisation. They typically identify with the
organisational goals, feel that they fit into the organisation and are satisfied
with their work.
iii.
A flexible workforce is one that grows in number to meet needs at any
given time and falls back to a baseline number when the increased size is
no longer necessary. ... For the employer, the major benefit of the flexible
workforce is lower payroll and other employee-related costs.
iv.
Workforce Quality Concepts that include superior technical abilities,
excellent communication, effective interpersonal skills and strong capacity for
self-management. Employees might walk through the door with some of these
characteristics but need strengthening in specific areas.
