Could We Amplify the Entire Process behind “Reduction of Force”


Talking recently to a couple of senior management professionals at some renowned organizations, we asked a simple question. How do you decide whom to let go and what human element at core is considered before you make this decision? We know few organizations where a simple KPI to Reduction of Force is based entirely on cost and expenses, but it is not a common factor used everywhere and not proactively.

Other factors that are common-performance issues, res killing, inability to train or being trained and not being able to find out a “perfect world” or blended role, take the toll when the bell rings and there is a quick turnaround of apologies and blurred faces all around. In most cases, it makes it more difficult for the one lay out because it is hard to swallow the justification provided for this decision and HR needs to elevate its emotional power to convince that the decision was appropriate. There are cases where HR is not even involved in such decisions. Honestly, in this write up, we are not at all factoring ethics and other behaviors which indeed take the utmost importance while taking this decision provided there has been misconduct.

 
emotional intelligence
Human potential and performance are exclusive and the perfect blend to quantify it makes it more elite and “one of its kind”. There is a big gap though which depends on what and who we are comparing; directly people or indirectly, their skills. For example, according to our research, Leadership has 4 key styles which as applied can change the entire dimensions of performance and decide the overall organization effectiveness.

Now, let us flip the equation. How about, we could forget the above factors and bring in a unique KPI driven, culture-bound and more EQ focused system that could streamline this process more effectively and stress on “only” skills. We cannot deny the fact that today human factors and biased decisions play a key role in the reduction of force process (effectiveness) while systems are being masked and framed behind the scenes.

ILUMENOW intends to refine this process and make it highly efficient and even data-driven going forward. Recognizing patterns, deep-dive behavioral analysis, fit v/s misfit alignment and a lot more of similar trends would surely bring a lot of improvement and make the processes holistic and transparent, bringing a lot of ROI back as well. Maybe very soon we won’t even have to hide this from whom we have to or we intend to let go.

Alternatively, ILUMENOW also brings in a unique remuneration (aka motivation) based platform called Renumerize” which benefits both the employer and employee at times where there is no window for pre-evaluations or a proactive feedback. Employees are deemed to be protected from Day 1 and feel secure and confident that the decision would not bring harm while also benefit their families and loved ones.

Let us join hands together to ensure that we try to convert the workplace and the workforce a wonderful place to work and grow, all with the power of emotions, data, and science.

Employee Retention Assessment Models based on EI

A team-based structure is fundamental for the survival of contemporary organizations and empowered employees are the foundation of such a structure. Using EI for learning ways to retain employees is in the best interest of organizations. Employee retention assessment models based on EI will help in simplifying and clarifying thinking patterns as well as in identifying key aspects that are to be taken care of as far as employees are concerned. Moreover, EI based assessment will help managers predict probable consequences of certain actions beforehand. It wouldn’t be wrong to state that EI-based assessment of retention models could be instrumental in development of explicit ideas and structure that could ensure a motivated team and competitive organization. In this regard managers have an important role to play because management’s success relies on the manager’s ability to recruit and retain skilled employees. Managers need special skills to prevent employees from leavin

Leveraging Emotional Intelligence to its Peak, Effectively

Image
Assessing Emotional Intelligence by itself is not as powerful as is when we leverage it and itspower effectively for self and others. “Others” here could be a small group or an entire ecosystem where EI as a whole, a component of EI or EI as a subset of EI could be used or addressed. Emotional Intelligence is all about how we leverage our emotions and try using this effectively but with a positive attitude and with a confidence that it will bring that difference, always. While we have a lot of EI knowledge and trainings out there but truly, it is not what is needed in the first place. What is important is to what makes EI so valuable and how could this be made effective and for whom. While we know that EI is about empathy, social awareness, culture, and self-awareness, we at ILUMENOW believe it to be a lot more than that. Emotions are a key to drive performance and vice versa and based on that foundation, we believe if there is a way to induce this knowledge “asset” to everyo

Implementation of Cloud Solutions Requires the Use of EI

It is a fact that organizations across the globe are depending more and more on technology for conducting their day-to-day operations. It happens because EI enables you to manage emotions and prevent them from overpowering your ability to reason. EI helps you recognize your and others’ emotions correctly and understand the signals sent by the emotional about relationships to become capable of managing emotion s. It is like using your emotions to improve your reasoning power. When switching to cloud solutions or any new technology, this reasoning power comes in handy always as our mind needs to be fully alert to comprehend change but the nervousness to adapt to change prevents us from doing so commendably. On the other hand, using EI, we can learn to use emotions to facilitate change into our lives and workplace. Leveraging EI can be useful for the employees to become capable of controlling the stress caused by the implementation of cloud computing. When employees are stre
