15 REF: page 16-2 Understanding 3 To be successful, high-performance work systems rely upon a culture that promotes egalitarianism REF: page The principle of shared information is part of the implementation of a command and control organizational system REF: page Today, organizations are relying more on the expertise and initiative of employees REF: page 16-5 Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd 15

16 6 Employees who are given timely information about business plans, performance, and strategies, are more likely to make good suggestions for improving business REF: page When employees have input into decision making, they are more likely to feel committed to new courses of action REF: page Employee development goes hand-in-hand with information sharing in high-performance work systems REF: page Connecting rewards to organizational performance generally ensures fairness, and tends to focus on the employees of the organization REF: page The number of jobs requiring little knowledge and skill is declining, while the number of jobs requiring greater knowledge and skill is growing rapidly REF: page To encourage employees to pursue job outcomes that are in alignment with the organization s goals, managers should be sure to link rewards to performance REF: page Egalitarian work environments strive to clarify and strengthen status and power differences in order to increase collaboration and teamwork REF: page Redesigning workflow around key business processes results in a focus on employee tasks and tends to detract from teamwork REF: page 16-6 page 16-7 Application 14 Selection of employees with greater than average talent is a key component of high-performance work systems because selection errors can result in poor performance and undesirable outcomes later REF: page Most high-performance work systems focus their training efforts on ensuring that employees have the skills necessary to assume a greater degree of responsibility REF: page Training in high-performance work systems focuses on arranging workflow and business processes 16 Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd

18 18 REF: page OBJ: 3 Application Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd

19 28 External fit occurs when all of the elements of the work system complement and reinforce one another REF: page OBJ: 3 29 Efforts to achieve external fit help focus the design of high-performance work systems on strategic drivers REF: page OBJ: 3 30 Once properly designed, implementation of high-performance work systems typically encounters few difficulties REF: page page Most employees welcome change efforts REF: page To successfully implement high-performance work systems, managers should emphasize the strategic importance of the change effort REF: page page Application 33 One of the best ways to communicate the business needs to employees is to show them the gap between today s current performance and capabilities and where the organization needs to be in the future to be successful REF: page Providing an inadequate communication system is the most common mistake that companies make during implementation of high-performance work systems REF: page To support the principle of sharing information, it is critical that managers encourage open dialogue and communication at all levels of the organization REF: page Involving union members only after the design process and implementation plan has been completed helps build a bridge toward employee buy-in REF: page Formal commitments between management and unions to jointly implement high-performance work systems serve to institutionalize the relationship so that it keeps going even if key champions leave REF: page Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd 19

20 38 In implementing high-performance work systems, successful companies rely on incremental changes to let employees get up to speed REF: page page The top-down approach to work system implementation ensures employee acceptance and commitment REF: page HR managers typically own responsibility for the implementation of high-performance work systems REF: page HR managers can be invaluable partners to line managers during change efforts REF: page High-performance work systems need to be periodically evaluated in terms of organizational priorities and initiatives REF: page Even if employees are underutilized, organizations can still operate at full performance REF: page Application 44 Skills, knowledge, and abilities that are not equally available to all organizations are known as rare REF: page Employee skills, knowledge, and abilities that are not equally available to all organizations are difficult to imitate REF: page High-performance work systems are relatively easy to copy by competitors REF: page Application 47 The use of high-performance work systems is typically valuable only to larger organizations REF: page OBJ: 6 48 The philosophies, principles, and techniques that underlie high-performance work systems are also applicable to small and medium-sized organizations REF: page OBJ: 6 49 Small-sized employers often have difficulty implementing high-performance work systems 20 Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd

21 REF: page OBJ: 6 ESSAY 1 What are the fundamental principles of high-performance work systems? ANS: There are four fundamental principles that support high-performance work systems First, the principle of shared information suggests that in today s rapidly changing environment, because organizations must rely on the expertise and initiative of employees, it is imperative that these employees are provided with timely and accurate information about business performance, plans, and strategies Second, the principle of knowledge development underscores the notion that because the nature of competition continues to change, employees knowledge and skills must also change As a result, employees need to learn continuously to support the organization s needs Third, the principle of performance-reward linkages suggests that aligning employee intentions and behaviours with the needs of the firm can help ensure that employees engage in activities that are mutually beneficial to themselves and the organization Fourth, the principle of egalitarianism supports the need to break down status and power barriers with high-performance work systems By decreasing these barriers, employees can become more involved in their work, and organizational performance is improved while the quality of work life is simultaneously increased REF: page 16-2 page 16-6 BLM: Analyze 2 Describe how the components of the work system fit together and support strategy ANS: The individual pieces of high-performance work systems are important only in terms of how they help the entire system function There are essentially two types of fit that must be achieved to reach synergistic results First, managers must ensure that internal fit is achieved This occurs when all the internal elements of the work system (ie, selection, training, compensation, and performance evaluation practices) complement and reinforce one another For example, if a new compensation system elicits and reinforces behaviours that are directly opposed to the goals emphasized in the performance evaluation system, the two components would be working at cross-purposes In addition to internal fit, external fit is critical as well External fit is achieved when the highperformance work systems support the organization s goals and strategies To reach this fit, managers must analyze the competitive challenges, organizational values, and concerns of employees to develop a statement of the strategies pursued by the organization Once these strategies are determined, the practices that will support these goals are identified and implemented For example, organizations focusing on cost containment may choose to rely on training practices that increase employee efficiency REF: page page Copyright 2011 by Nelson Education Ltd 21 OBJ: 3 BLM: Analyze
