Recruitment / Diversity
Posted by: Robin Korogi at 8:50AM EST on May 11, 2008

Organization has a employee recruitment incentive program for hard to fill occupations.

Depending on the occupation, if the employee successfully recruits a candidate and they stay for 6 months, the incentive is paid out.

Next challenge is how to include diversity into this mix ....

In SLC it is a challenge to attract diverse applicants as the population majority is white.

Thinking of adding a category to the already existing recruitment incentive program for those underrepresented categories (i.e. black male, black female, etc).     Thinking of expanding the diversity piece to include ANY position for the diversity part.

Has anyone had any experience using diversity in an employee incentive recruitment program?

Related to Broadbanding pay grades, has anyone ran into problems with this strategy?  I'm curious to know if it is more or less effective when applied to differerent organizational settings.  For example would Broadbanding be used in a new or growth oriented business versus an established one?

I really like the concept of 'Behaviorally anchored Rating Scales' or BARS as it ensures fairness in the evaluation process.  What percentage of health care industry compared to other industries use this model?

Is anyone knowledgeable of the reason or genesis of the statutes providing public employees rights of due process even in an at-will state? Is it related to preventing mass patronage with every changing administration?
