3 Hiring and Training Multi-Dimensional Staff Julene Franki Executive Director, American Law Institute American Bar Association (ALI-ABA) Getting the right people on your staff is more critical than ever for a successful organization. Jim Collins, author of the bestseller Good To Great calls it getting the right people on the bus. Finding staff with the technological skills, emotional intelligence, work ethic and creativity needed to do the people-centric business of CLE is difficult. Motivating, training, energizing and keeping them interested once you hire them is a challenge that is faced by the smallest business and Fortune 500 companies. Looking at the concepts that are being used by large companies to grow and keep good staff is a good idea. Many of these ideas are being used by the large law firms that CLE faculty and authors work in. If we take some of these ideas and work them into living strategic plans we ensure that our governing boards agree with the use of resources to enrich our staff. We also need to identify staff members who will ensure that our goals are carried out into the day-to-day functions of hiring, training and evaluating staff. Finally, understand what your compensation strategy is, especially if you are counting on the non-monetary aspects to win the day in recruiting talent. Talent Management Talent Management is a concept that began to develop in the 1990s and is now used in many firms, especially law firms, where it is tied to the development of competencies. Other concepts associated with talent management are performance management, succession planning, systems integration and leadership development. The term war for talent is a common one that we read about in the literature related to these concepts. A book that I picked up a few years ago is the Talent Management Handbook, Creating Organizational Excellence by Identifying, Developing and Promoting Your Best People edited by Lance and Dorothy Berger. In summary, they identify three strategies for managing human resources: 1) identifying, selecting and keeping the very top 3-5% of your staff; 2) finding, developing and positioning highly qualified backups for key positions; and 3) allocating resources to employees based on their actual/or potential contribution to organizational excellence. These strategies involve tools for identifying the core competencies of organizations, identifying staff performance criteria related to these competencies and analyzing, evaluating, hiring and promoting all employees based on these tools. There is software that can be purchased to support this process. Very few, if any, CLE organizations have the resources to embark on this process fully. Good managers have long instinctively done these things in some form or another. No matter how well you think that you are doing in developing your staff, working toward a systematic approach will go a long way to ensuring that the organization stays on track.
4 Strategic Plan Even if your organization is a small one or a department in a larger organization it is a good idea to have a strategic plan. ACLEA has presented a number of sessions on strategic planning that can assist in devising a strategic plan. The best strategic plans are put together with staff and key board members or other stakeholders so that staff and volunteer leaders are aligned on what is important and where to expend resources. Staff is the largest share of the expense budget and most valuable resource of most organizations. Because of this it deserves a prominent place in the strategic plan. It is here that the plan for managing this resource and the action items associated with it should be set out. Of the eight strategic priorities of ALI-ABA, two are included in the staff and board working group Strengthen Staff and Maximize Potential. (Attachment A) Coming up with core values was the first step. Although values and competencies are not the same thing, our values statement represents characteristics we want to foster as an organization. In order to get all levels of staff involved we, unlike many organizations, got a first draft from a staff committee drawn from all levels of the organization. It was then reviewed and revised by the staff and board members who are part of the working group. Some of the values were easy ones for us, but others difficult to come to a consensus about. Getting the core values into job descriptions is a way of making sure that you are hiring or promoting individuals with characteristics that advance the organization s overall goals. Another way of getting these values into the DNA of the organization is to include them in the evaluations of all staff (Attachment B) Included in the strategic plan are our training goals, including cross-training. This ensures that training opportunities will not be forgotten in the budgeting process and sets out that technology training, which supports many of our core values is specifically identified and set as a goal. We utilize online training program resources as well as inperson training suited to staff needs. We also conduct in-house training. One of the most difficult parts of implementing new software, whether developed by staff programmers or purchased, is getting staff fully trained. Yet if staff isn t properly trained, the money expended on these technological resources is wasted. We also enshrine in the strategic plan the goal of being open to and encouraging staff involvement in the change process. Without this sort of structure it is difficult to stay focused on getting the right people with the right characteristics in all parts of the organization. Even with a plan it is a challenge not to get lost in the weeds of individual jobs instead of looking for staff members who have multi-dimensional talents and characteristics. 2
5 Our working groups (board and staff) meet at least once or twice a year to review and tweak this plan so that it is a living document and the changes are reported out at board meetings. Future changes that have been discussed for this working group include the development of organizational and individual staff competencies and performance measures based on those competencies. Meaningfully tying the strategic plan to staff performance measures is a challenge for all organizations, but getting them into an evolving document will be one step toward making them a reality. Human Resources Support Making the goal of staff development part of the organization s strategic plan helps get leadership, both volunteer and staff, on board and on the same page. Making it part of board committees and board meetings keeps it on the front burner. But, how do you carry it out day-to-day? If you are in a stand alone organization and have an HR Director, this is easier, especially if you have a talented and energetic professional involved as ALI-ABA does. The HR Director ideally will work closely with the executive team to help execute the goals of the strategic plan that relate to hiring, training and supporting staff. Our HR Director is the staff coordinator who works with the board chair of the working group that deals with these issues. She is very much involved with the creation of the action items and of making sure that they get implemented. The HR professional can get the core values and other strategic goals incorporated into job descriptions, interviews, orientations, and evaluations which are the daily stuff of that department. They will help you get core values posters created and placed around the organization. They can help you look for opportunities for cross-training and creating cross-departmental projects that will help you get to a staff that has multiple dimensions, is flexible and can be deployed to different parts of the organization as needed. I am sure that many CLE organizations either don t have an HR department or are part of a larger organization which has an HR department that has its own agenda. As department head you should be in tune with the goals of the larger organization; however, you can put your own stamp on your employee development even if HR doesn t report to you. Some Directors of CLE are the best people to implement employee development. Some interview everyone hired in the organization, do all the evaluations, and are engaged in the day-to-day management of all the staff. It could be that there is someone on your staff, maybe your assistant or another individual who could serve as your department or organization s staff go-to person. You can task that person with the job and it might be done even better than you would do it. Someone should make sure that all job descriptions, interview questions, evaluation forms and orientation documentation are reviewed to include reference to the values and goals of the organization. Compensation: 3
6 How important is salary in compensation? The role of money in retaining and attracting employees is the subject of controversy. Some say that the pay needs only to be fair and competitive. A key issue for CLE providers is that they will likely lose a salary competition if that is the potential employee s main concern. Many are not-for-profit organizations without the ability to compete against for-profit companies in the monetary aspects of compensation. Others are part of larger organizations which dictate the perimeters of pay they can offer potential or current employees. There are many other things that CLE organizations may be able to offer that others may not: 1) Work environment: Encourage esprit de corps wherever you can. Build teams that are energized and feel they contribute to the successes in the organization. A sense of humor is a critical part of an attractive work place. Praise and encouragement are should be part of every manager s toolkit. 2) Mission: Don t overlook the intangible benefits of working in a business that has an educational mission that contributes to the ultimate goal of justice. People leave the for-profit world all the time to be a part of something more meaningful. 3) Challenges: The CLE business is one filled with many exciting challenges and opportunities to develop skills for those who want to be a part of the changing world of technology, law, communication, marketing, and managing volunteers. 4) Opportunities for control : Many people are looking for places where they can exercise some form of control over the decisions that impact their work, their environment, and the direction of the organization. Look for ways to give people the opportunity to be part of creating and running programs, developing marketing, giving input to and design of products, websites, and other major projects. The product will be better and the people will have greater buy-in. 5) Flexible schedules: If your organization can give people flex time and telecommuting opportunities this can be a plus. 6) Whether or not you are a not-for-profit, can you offer less stress than the large for-profit sector? Can you be more family friendly, and emphasize a family-type environment? 7) Benefits: Compare the benefits offered by your company with those offered by other businesses. Your vacation time, sick leave, health care, retirement plans may be better than small businesses you are competing with. Understand that benefits are a factor. Know all the non-monetary reasons someone would work for your company and try to develop others. Summary Clearly understanding the characteristics of employees, and indeed, of the organization you want to foster will help you to make this part of your strategy to hire, promote and retain individuals with those qualities. Evaluate all HR tools, such as job descriptions, evaluations, interview questions, and orientation documentation to make sure that these 4
7 characteristics are wound throughout. Make training part of your strategy and budget. And have a strategy for compensation. Ultimately, hiring and training a multi-dimensional staff will come down to planning and working through your plan. If you are not the right person to do it, get some help. Your staff is your organization s most important resource and they are worth the time you put into them. 5
