Job
Match Meetings TGI
emphasizes quality job matching and results data. This is an invaluable tool for both existing
participants and those new to the Thobe Group survey approach, and ensures
effective job matching, greater understanding of how industry changes affect
your jobs, and eases submission completion. 1993
– 2001: TGI conducted group job match
meetings for each industry group. Post
9/11: Travel and budget restrictions
precluded the group job matching process, so TGI developed an individual teleconference
job matching approach to maintain data integrity. Since valuable relationships are built at the
group meetings we plan to return to that format just as soon as the industry
can support it; in the interim we have conducted the teleconference and on-site
job match meetings to ensure data quality. 2006: We
are currently polling our participants to see if 2006 can be the year we return
to the group job matching process. If
not, we will continue our one-on-one teleconference and on-site job match
meetings. Job
Matching Guidebooks are provided in soft copy with the data submission
questionnaire CD. The Guidebook
contains, for each job family, survey job organization chart with an overview
of each job, and each job’s Job Component Statements© complete with
response choices. This allows you to
provide managers a soft copy of the information to review the specific job
families in their specific department and provide value “front-line” input to
the survey responses. When
line management (with their vast knowledge of the jobs) is involved in the job
match process, the potential for increasing the data/match quality rises
sharply, offers a strong degree of comfort for line managers in the matches,
and underlines the effort HR undertakes to meet their data needs. Over the last 4 years, the percent of our
participants who invite line management to participate in our one-on-one
teleconference and on-site job match meetings has risen to nearly 90%. Participating
in the Job Match Meeting is a condition of participation for the first two
years a company/company representative is in the survey, and every other year
thereafter as long as the same company representative attends. |
