What Do They Expect?
Your employees know what you expect from them. Do you know what they expect from you? Do they know what they expect from you? Research has shown that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations have better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover. So how do you help your employees identify and articulate their expectations?
The Work Expectations Profile, an engaging, self-directed learning instrument, can help by pinpointing an individual's expectations in ten work-related areas. The Work Expectations Profile Individual Report then provides a starting point for dialogue between managers and employees about those expectations. The Gap Analysis provides participants with an at-a-glance look at how important each Work Expectation category is to them and to what degree each is being met. This helps them quickly pinpoint which Work Expectations categories need the most attention.
