利用ONA分析管理者如何影响员工体验管理者影响80%的员工体验。组织网络分析能告诉我们如何影响的吗?
员工体验是当前人力资源领域的一个热门话题,其因素是需要找到新的、更好的方法来提高雇主的品牌和敬业度。毫无疑问,员工体验最重要的因素之一是个人与直接管理者的关系。然而,但是这方面的体验很少被给予他应得的关注。
最基本的是,如果你想改善你的员工体验,从管理者开始!
The bottom line is that if you want to improve your employee experience, start with managers!
管理者对员工的工作经历和日常工作生活有着巨大的影响。有大量的证据支持这一观点。从管理者敬业度对员工敬业度的显著影响,到人们不会离开公司而是离开管理者这观点的研究。最基本的一层是,如果你想改善你的员工体验,从管理者开始!
组织网络分析如何提供帮助?
然而,在过去10年里,我们如何衡量这种影响以及如何指导管理者改善团队层面的互动,都没有太大的进展。大多数组织仍然依赖于不频繁且常常很肤浅的调查,只有一两个管理者注意到相关的问题。当然,这些信息对于识别重大问题非常有用,但这种不常见的性质和肤浅的洞察力意味着通常只在事情已经相对糟糕的时候才采取行动。
基于IT元数据的组织网络分析(ONA)等被动分析技术允许我们以新的、有趣的方式实时深入了解管理人员-报告关系的本质。
下面是一些我们如何使用ONA帮助组织度量和提高管理技能的例子。
管理者是如何管理的呢?
通过使用ONA,我们可以更好地理解管理者们是如何与他们的团队合作的,以及有多少监督和互动可以带来更好的结果。这是通过分析用于沟通、会议、编写文档、项目管理、版本代码等的数字工具中的团队级协作来实现的。该分析通常着眼于管理者与其团队之间的交流的数量、频率和类型,并输出相对管理者接近度的得分。该分数反映了管理者们是全身心投入到日常工作中,还是更加超脱。将其与长期调查结果或人员流失结果联系起来。
用于检测管理器邻近性的网络分析示例。比较两种极端情况下高度独立和控制管理者。
管理者的响应呢?
ONA可以提供一个洞察力,让我们了解管理者对团队的要求是多少的专注或有反应的。这是通过查看团队发送给管理者的消息与他们的响应的比例来实现的。例如,5:1的比例表示管理者只对团队成员每5次沟通尝试中的1次做出回应。
一对一
通过分析日历数据,我们可以确定哪些管理者定期与他们的团队进行一对一的计划,哪些没有。此外,还可以确定这些会议被移动、取消或其他会议被安排在这些会议之上的频率。通过观察员工NPS的结果,我们发现,在定期进行一对一的团队中,个人更有可能高度投入/满意。Spotify的Katarina Berg最近在接受David Green采访时证实了这一发现。我们现在正与多个组织合作进行实验,通过提醒和相关内容自动推动管理者跳过一对一。参见下面的一个简单示例。
有一个例子,是在说服管理者和他们的团队成员定期安排一对一的会谈。
管理者对工作与生活平衡的影响
管理人员会对个人的工作生活平衡产生重大影响。通过分析信息,人们可以了解管理者是否在促进健康平衡还是在侵占个人时间。此分析通常会查看管理者是否在几小时后回复员工电子邮件,在晚上安排会议,或邀请团队成员在周末加班。
包容
管理者对团队的包容程度有重要影响。通过特定的方式组织工作和协作,管理者可以将某些个人纳入或系统地排除在信息和增长机会之外。通过分析项目工作中包含的层次,沟通和对领导的访问,ONA可以洞察管理者在这种动态中所扮演的角色。这些信息可以让管理者意识到他们对包容性的影响,并指导他们创建包容性的团队环境。
管理者授权
你的管理者有多大的权力,会显著影响他们的效率。没有权力的管理者很可能缺乏有效的领导团队所需的信心和资源。通过对管理者进行网络的分析,我们可以深入了解不同的管理者拥有的权力有多大。这种分析通常着眼于管理者关系网的规模、广度和资历。管理人员在做决定的时候是否有机会接触领导层?他们能接触到重要的组织信息吗?ONA可以帮助回答这些问题并指导干预措施,从而在团队级别上增强领导能力。
结论
很明显,管理者是员工体验的关键驱动力,人力资源团队应该花更多的精力来理解经理和员工之间的关系。网络分析提供了一组强大的新工具来帮助组织分析这些关键关系。量化这些关系将使组织更好地理解所涉及的关键动态,并有助于为管理者提供有针对性的培训,以提高相关技能。

People Analytics
Capital One的People Analytics 负责人谈这两年人力资本分析工作的教训编者注:Capital One 的Guru Sethupathy 是Head of People Strategy & Analytics 。他谈了谈过去两年的教训。跟大家分享!
在过去的两年里,这是一段令人难以置信的旅程,随着我们团队的规模和影响的增长,我们已经学到了一些关于我们进步的重要经验教训。这些包括:
洞察力不足 ; 将洞察力转化为行动至关重要
投资数据质量 ; 没有高质量的数据,我们议程的所有其他方面都毫无意义
投资了解业务 ; 它使您能够提出更好的问题,提出更有针对性的建议,并在人力资源和业务中建立您的可信度和影响力
员工对他们的数据很慷慨 ; 认真思考数据隐私和道德规范并培养护栏。我们还应该奖励员工,帮助他们发展自己的事业,改善经验和福祉
在不使用机器学习的情况下可以提供很多价值。如果您决定使用机器学习,请仔细考虑并放置护栏。如果机器学习出错,它很快就会破坏价值
区分相关性与因果关系很重要。有时前者足够,有时后者是必要的; 我们的工作中有很多令人困惑的因素
讲故事很重要,是推动影响力,行动和影响力的真正差异化因素
没有测量>测量不好 ; 投资改善测量,但也愿意承认并非所有事情都能得到足够的衡量
要客观,清楚地了解客户是谁 ; 它们可以变化,并且具有清晰度将导致更好的设计产品,项目和影响
附录英文:
Insights are insufficient; converting insights to action is of utmost importance
Invest in data quality; without high quality data, all other aspects of our agenda are meaningless
Invest in learning about the business; it enables you to ask better questions, make more targeted recommendations and build your credibility and influence both within HR and the business
Associates are generous with their data; think seriously about data privacy and ethics and develop guardrails. We should also reward employees with insights that help them develop their careers as well as improve experience and wellbeing
A lot of value can be delivered without using machine learning. If you do decide to use machine learning, do so thoughtfully and place guardrails. If machine learning goes awry, it can quickly destroy value
Differentiating correlation from causation is important. Sometimes the former is sufficient, sometimes the latter is necessary; there are a lot of confounding factors in our work
Storytelling is important and a real differentiator for driving influence, action and impact
No measurement > bad measurement; invest in improving measurement but also be willing to acknowledge that not everything can be measured well enough
Be thoughtful and clear about who your customers are; they can vary and having that clarity will lead to better designed products, projects, and impact
英文阅读:PEOPLE ANALYTICS UNCOVER THE OPTIMAL SPAN OF CONTROL英文阅读,HRTechChina每周会选取一篇HR科技专业方向的英文原版文章供大家学习。
The HR-functions of more and more companies have started a journey to establish and use people analytics – as a response to make HR more data-driven and in an effort to combine HR-activities and decisions closer to the top and bottom line.
People analytics is many different things and can do many different things. I will just address one of the many areas where HR-analyses can move the company from one level to the next.
SPAN OF CONTROL
Imagine a company that wants to reduce the number of managers because they want a more flat and hence, agile company structure. At the same time, they want to cut costs by saving on wages to a list of managers.
In other words, the company wants to change span of control, i.e. how many employees the managers supervise.
It can surely be a reasonable decision to work with span of control. But does the intervention also have negative consequences that the company should be aware of?
Here, HR-facts can provide insights so that top-management can make a more intelligent decision on a much better foundation.
RESEARCH THE CONSEQUENCES UP FRONT
The most obvious consequence you do not need analysis to see is that the remaining managers will have more employees to supervise.
But it is less obvious how it will affect the employees’ well-being and productivity and hence, the top line and bottom line of the company.
At Ennova, we have done a number of analyses of span of control across more than 12,000 teams all over the world. A couple of the overall conclusions are:
The more employees a manager supervises, the lower the assessment - particularly immediate manager and top management
The larger team size, the lower engagement and lower willingness to recommend the workplace to others (eNPS)
Span of Control
UNCOVER THE MORE COMPLEX LINKS
However, when we study the numbers a little closer it is much more differentiated.
Some specific types of managers are able to handle a large span of control. For example, in several companies we have seen that managers in units close to the customers can easily supervise more than 15 employees, yet still receive a good score from the employees, and still have a high level of engagement in the team.
On the contrary, some groups of employees, e.g. talents, thrive better in teams with a lower span of control. Among other things, the explanation for this is that this type of employees requires more one-on-one feedback and a closer focus to support the development. This sets a natural limit for the number of employees the manager can handle.
A third example that makes everything even more complex is that companies have different capabilities to handle span of control.
Some companies are capable of having larger teams. The managers there are simply better equipped to handle the challenges that inevitably will occur with more employees on the team.
THERE IS A STRONG BUSINESS CASE FOR SPAN OF CONTROL ANALYSES
Hence, analyzing the specific conditions in your company will produce an invaluable insight into the consequences of employee engagement. And the engagement is a critical factor for both top line and bottom line.
From a number of global analyses we know that engagement is closely related to the risk of voluntary resignations. The lower the engagement in a team, the bigger the risk that your employees resign.
This will naturally affect the company’s top line and bottom line - particularly if key employees and talents resign. Recruitment and onboarding of new employees require a lot of resources. At the same time, there is often a void and deliveries are running at a lower level until the new employee has been fully integrated.
Therefore, span of control analyses are also justified from a people analytics perspective, where the premise is the combination with business outcome.
EVERY ORGANIZATION NEEDS ITS OWN ANALYSIS
Hence, the conclusion is that there is not one optimum span of control. The context is absolutely critical for the number of employees a manager can reasonably handle.
For example, whether the manager is extrovert or introvert has an impact. As mentioned, teams with a lot of talents require a lower span of control. Whether the team consists of employees with high seniority and employees who are more or less “self-managing” also has significance.
Hence, all companies would benefit from conducting span of control analyses. The context in which managers operate is unique and specific. Hence, it is necessary to examine how you can optimize span of control across your particular organization.
