People Centered Management
[Reference: Bold italic taken from TRAVELERS.COM]
How do the seven people-centered practices of successful companies apply to this organization?
As during discussion of “managing People” in an organization, we learnt that to get results there are some important practices needed for people-centered organizations.
Travelers has been practicing them to achieve their goal and to improve OB.
Careful hiring
Travelers have well defined criteria to hire good talent that provides appropriate fit to the requirement of company. As they claim,
“Though our Talent Acquisition Consultants search our database for appropriate candidates, the only way to ensure that we know of your interest in a particular position is if you apply for it directly.
Our pre-employment screen includes a drug test and background check”
Once one is selected they say,
“Before your start date, complete Section 1 of the electronic I-9 form discussed in the Welcome email sent to you from Travelers. The I-9 form, required by the Federal government, establishes your identity and eligibility to work in the United States. Please bring your proper identification with you on your first day of employment so that this form can be completed. You will also need to bring your signed Principles of Employment, which can be found in the Welcome packet.”
Consider diversity when hiring,
“We hire a diverse workforce to reflect the communities in which we do business.”
Job Security:
At travelers.com, did not find much on job security (as I browsed) However I can say that a company who survived for almost a century must be in good standing for providing job security and would have some procedure and programs for that.
Other than the site (TRAVELERS.COM) when I was trying to find some material on job security I found an interesting survey and would like to share with. Not necessarily every one will agree with. This was made among the travelers employees. See below.
