“Our product is steel. Our strength is people.” This slogan has been used by Dofasco Steel Company since 1970. In 2007 the company was named as one of Canada’s top100 employers – the only steelmaker to achieve this honor.

Committed, productive employees are key to organizational success and a healthy balance sheet. The challenge is to develop a system that will recruit, train, and retain satisfied, committed and competent employees.

One solution is Inscape Publishing’s Work Expectations Profile!

This self-directed learning instrument helps your employees understand and manage their work expectations. Research has shown that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations have better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover.

Focus|Reflect|Act delivers memorable learning:

• Focus on their expectations
• Reflect on whether their expectations are met or unmet
• Assist in acting on what they have discovered.

This profile is designed to help individuals uncover and explore their expectations in a variety of employment situations, including:

• Working on a team
• Transitioning to a new position , or experiencing organizational change
• Performance Reviews
• Making the most of of daily routines.

The Work Expectations Profile Individual Report makes it even easier for managers and employees to dialogue about their work expectations. In addition to providing information about high expectations, the online Individual Report includes a “Gap Analysis” that provides participants with an at-a-glance look at how important each Work Expectations category is to them, and to what degree each is being met.

This helps them quickly pinpoint which Work Expectations categories need the most attention.

The Work Expectations Profile can also include a group report. This Report provides a group summary of Gap Analysis information, which supervisors and managers can use to identify likely sources of dissatisfaction within the group. The organization can use the information to better align the organizational culture with the collective expectations of the group. The report is anonymous, so it can be used in a variety of situations without breaching confidentiality.
