How to Analyze Results Items

  • Group a set of results, rather than

evaluating each graph separately

  • Identify gaps (results not provided) from:

‒ Criteria ‒ Key factors ‒ Key processes you noted in categories 1-6

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Analyze Results that Are Provided:

  • Levels

– Validity or meaningful scale

  • Trends *

– Rate of improvement or sustainability

  • Comparisons

– Appropriateness; benchmarks

  • Integration

– Importance, harmonization, segmentation

* Note: Unfavorable trends may be explained in the narrative

What is your WORKFORCE profile . . . employee groups and SEGMENTS? . . . What are the KEY drivers that engage them. . .? What are your organization’s special health and safety requirements?

5.1b(1) – Workforce Climate

HOW do you ensure workplace health, security, and accessibility for the

WORKFORCE? What are your PERFORMANCE MEASURES and improvement GOALS

for your workplace environmental factors? . . .

7.3a(2) – Workforce Results (Climate)

What are your RESULTS for KEY MEASURES or INDICATORS of your WORKFORCE climate, including those for WORKFORCE health, security, accessibility, and services and benefits, as appropriate? . . .

5.1b(1) LOTS systematically assesses workplace environmental factors to ensure and improve workforce health by using a comprehensive wellness

  • program. Components of this comprehensive wellness program include

exceptional health insurance packages, $20/month reimbursement towards wellness-related expenses, no-cost wellness screenings (Figure 7.3-5) and flu shots, 24/7 access to an employee assistance program, and

  • ther health opportunities. Workplace environmental differences are not

pertinent for these benefits; these programs encourage employees to become more proactive in improving their overall health. … Security … Accessibility A sample listing of performance measures for workforce health, security, and workplace accessibility can be found in Workplace Environment (Figure 5.1-5) and Workforce Preparedness (Figure 7.3-6). These performance measures are designed to provide a work environment conducive to supporting the LOTS workforce to accomplish the mission.

What Should I Synthesize?

Strength and OFI observations for:

– Performance Levels (Le) – Trends (T) – Use of Comparisons, performance to benchmarks (C) – Alignment or Integration with organizational needs and process categories (I)

Gaps

– When a key Criteria question is not addressed – When something the applicant has identified as important is not addressed (KF) – When an expected result is not presented

Remember…

  • It is your job to select the MOST insightful

6–10 pieces of information . . .

  • Not all Criteria questions are equally

important to every applicant!

18

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Results Comment Tips

  • Group the graphs (in some meaningful way) and

summarize your analysis

  • Relate results to the applicant’s:

– Key factors – Strategies – Processes/results described elsewhere

  • BUT . . . comment on the results, not the process of
  • btaining the results

19

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Results Comment Tips

  • Comparisons – comment on:

– Performance relative to comparisons – Appropriateness of comparisons – The fact that comparisons are not provided

  • Use comparative terms that are clear:

– Trends are favorable/unfavorable, beneficial/adverse – Results have improved/declined – Performance is better/worse

  • Comment on segmentation

– Performance of specific segments – The fact segmented data are not provided in key areas

20

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Sample Consensus Results Strength

7.3a(3) Comment: LOTS demonstrates consistent levels, trends, and comparisons for its employee engagement results. For employee connection to mission (Figure 7.3-11), which measures staff members' understanding of how their individual positions contribute to the mission, results are at 100%, which exceed the Excel Employee Engagement benchmark. In addition, overall workforce engagement levels are consistent with the benchmark results from 2016 to 2018. Results in this area reinforce the organization's core competency of a mission-driven workforce that is highly motivated and engaged in saving lives. Rationale: [AY] They address the multiple level questions but do not meet all

  • f the multiple level questions related to Diversity of the Workforce,

segments or groups. See OFI in this item related to what is missing. Le, T, I identified in a favorable manner

21

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Sample Consensus Results OFI

7.3a(3) Comment: The workforce-focused performance results given are not segmented by the groups noted in Figure P.1-4. For example, workforce engagement results are not segmented by department, gender, tenure, or job type. Segmentation of results such as overall job satisfaction (Figure 7.3-14) and retention (Figure 7.3-13) may enable LOTS to monitor differences among these groups and make improvements to support its strategic advantage of a supportive culture and address the challenge of retention. Rationale: Supported by ST, CJ, and AY. This is directly related to the I

  • f the Basic level question.

22

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Goals vs. Projections

GOALS

“Hoped for” performance In general, we do NOT evaluate performance against goals:

  • We don’t know how the

applicant sets goals

  • Do they set low goals or

stretch goals?

PROJECTIONS

“Expected” performance Examine relevance:

  • Do projections make sense?
  • Are they related to the

strategic plan?

23

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Scoring Results Items

  • 1. Consider your 6-10 comments paying special

attention to Le-T-C-I and B/O/M

  • 2. Determine the scoring range that “best fits”

the item

  • 3. Score the item

24

slide-25
SLIDE 25

25

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Scoring Example – Item 7.3

Overall scoring range: 30-45% Item score: 45% Rationale: Two strengths and five OFIs, no double strengths or OFIs. One strength is very specific and the other strength addresses the multiple level questions without meeting all of them. OFIs are across the board from basic to multiple level questions. Levels: 50-65% with good organizational performance levels reported responsive to the overall questions. Trends: 50- 65% with beneficial trends evident in areas important to the organization’s mission Comparisons: 50-65% Some current performance levels have been evaluated against relevant comparisons which show good relative

  • performance. Integration: 10-25% Results are reported for a few areas of

importance to the accomplishment of the organizations mission. Little

  • segmentation. The missing measures, lack of segmentation and OFIs related

to 7.3-1 are a barrier to the 50-65% range.

Topics for Consensus Meeting

  • Changes to the language of a comment that affect:

– The meaning of the comment – The A-D-L-I or Le-T-C-I assessment factors that pertain – Basic/Overall/Multiple level of a comment – Distribution of strengths and OFIs at B/O/M – The score – Key themes

  • Comments that are not “key” or Criteria-based
  • If a “key” area to address is missed
  • Conflicts between strengths & OFIs, or comments in different

categories

  • Potential site visit issues

42

slide-43
SLIDE 43

NOT Topics for Consensus Meeting

  • Anything that does not alter the meaning of a comment or the

score

  • Grammatical errors

– Typos – Misspellings – Word format changes – Extra words or words left out – Sentences or clauses that are redundant – Substituting acronyms for entity names, and the reverse – Separating the clauses of a lengthy sentence to make shorter sentences.

Tips for Consensus Meeting

  • Be prepared
  • Don’t be defensive – check your ego at the door!
  • Begin with an ice breaker
  • Set ground rules

– Does silence mean agreement?

  • Use a round robin approach to be sure everyone’s

voice is heard

  • Only discuss areas of disagreement

KEY THEMES

“If you just focus on the smallest details, you never get the big picture right.” Leroy Hood

slide-47
SLIDE 47

Key Theme Overview

  • Executive summary of feedback report for applicant’s senior

leaders

  • Strategic in nature
  • Summarize the most vital issues for the organization as a

whole – e.g., what must the organization do to become/remain competitive and ensure long term sustainability?

  • Typically prepared by team leader or scorebook editor with

support from team members

  • Used by examiners and judges to get overview of applicant

maturity

47

slide-48
SLIDE 48

What Is a Key Theme?

  • A synthesis of multiple comments

– Don’t just cut and paste

  • A perception or observation that:

– Recurs and is expanded upon throughout the scorebook – Is common (cross-cutting) to more than one item/category – Is of high value or significance to the applicant – May address a core value of the Criteria – Is traceable to individual item comments

+ + +

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Key Themes Reflect

  • a. The most important strengths or outstanding practices (of

potential value to other organizations) found in processes

  • b. The most significant opportunities, concerns, or

vulnerabilities found in processes c. The most significant strengths (related to data, comparisons, and integration) found in results

  • d. The most significant opportunities, vulnerabilities, and/ or

gaps (related to data, comparisons, and integration) found in results

50

slide-51
SLIDE 51

Sample Key Theme (a)

LOTS has implemented multiple approaches that demonstrate that it values its employees, strengthening the organization’s core competency of a mission-driven workforce. Beginning at the top, the leadership team models ethical behavior and uses multiple touchpoints to communicate with the workforce. Workforce members’ engagement in the success of the organization is supported through the cascading of strategic goals and by addressing their needs via various benefit-plan options and promoting a safe operating environment. Additionally, LOTS has designed the Learning and Development System to improve workforce learning and then uses multidisciplinary meetings and Rounding for Outcomes to capture and disseminate valuable workforce knowledge. All of these workforce-focused approaches highlight the philosophy “We take care of ‘Our People’ so they can take care of others.”

51

slide-52
SLIDE 52

Steps in Developing Key Themes

  • 1. Capture initial impressions on your first read-

through of the application (IR)

  • 2. Use the “key” icon to flag potential key themes

during consensus review

  • 3. Scorebook editor or other team member

develops draft topics for key themes for team review prior to consensus meeting and discussion during consensus meeting

  • 4. TL and scorebook editor finalize key themes after

item comments are finalized (after site visit)

52

slide-53
SLIDE 53

Core Values as Key Themes

  • Core values may become the topic of a key

theme strength:

– Use core values to provide value – as the basis of a strength key theme comment – Do not use core values to assess the applicant – NOT as the basis of an OFI key theme comment

53

slide-54
SLIDE 54

Other Sources of Key Themes

  • Process items

– A-D-L-I evaluation factors – ++ and – comments

  • Results items

– Le-T-C-I evaluation factors – ++ and -- comments

  • Scoring guidelines
  • Scoring band descriptors

Selecting Site Visit Issues

  • Use site visit issues to

– Verify role model strengths and – Clarify OFIs

  • How many site visit issues do I need?

– As a general rule, prepare a site visit issue for each OFI and double strength (++) – Your team leader will assist you in determining the correct number of site visit issues based on

  • the length of the site visit
  • the size of the organization

67

slide-68
SLIDE 68

Sample Site Visit Issues

“Verify LOTS’ use of the Workforce Planning Process (Figure 5.1-1) to address workforce change management.” “Clarify how LOTS ensures its workforce represents the diverse ideas and cultures of its hiring communities.”

Next Steps

  • Once team members have completed the site visit

forms in Scorebook Navigator, the team leader will pull a report including:

– Requested Documents – Potential Interviewees – SVI Questions (Verify/Clarify)

  • Team leader edits and formats this list 10-14 days prior

to the site visit

  • Team members then go back to prepare questions on

the SVI Worksheet (Word)

75

slide-76
SLIDE 76

The Site Visit Issue Worksheet

  • Complete a separate Site Visit Issue (SVI) Worksheet for each

site visit issue identified

– Download template from TNCPE website – Sample SVI for Item 5.1a(2) on pg. 133

  • Complete the entire front page of the worksheet prior to site

visit:

– Site visit issue (verify or clarify statement) – Comment(s) affected (cross-walk to Scorebook Navigator) – Strategy (A-D-L-I or Le-T-C-I questions)

  • You will use the worksheet to conduct your interviews and

take notes on site

76

slide-77
SLIDE 77

What Questions Should I Ask?

  • Use your process evaluation factors (A-D-L-I) to

“move the applicant to the right”

  • If your site visit issue clarifies the applicant’s

approach, be prepared with follow-up questions regarding deployment, learning, and integration.

  • This approach works for results too (Le-T-C-I)

most of the time.

77

slide-78
SLIDE 78

Let’s Review…

  • Complete SVI form in Scorebook Navigator first

– Documents, interviewees – Site Visit Issue only (verify/clarify questions)

  • Then complete a SVI worksheet in Word for each issue
  • The applicant will receive your site visit issues

(verify/clarify statements) and requested documents but not your prepared A-D-L-I questions or strategy

  • Prioritize your SVI worksheets in case you run out of

time

Site Visit Interview Tips

  • If the applicant gives examples or anecdotes, ask a follow up

question

  • At the end of an interview ask “Is there anything else you’d like to

tell us?”

  • Follow process questions with corresponding results questions
  • Use evaluation factors (A-D-L-I and Le-T-C-I) to guide your questions
  • Interview in pairs: one person conducts the interview and the other

takes notes

  • Be committed to be an examiner for the entire

site visit

88

slide-89
SLIDE 89

Ask Open-Ended Questions

Possible Findings

  • Keep OFI, no change
  • Edit OFI – change from approach to deployment. They

demonstrated an approach but workgroups xyz are not using it yet.

  • Change OFI to strength – process is in place, fully

deployed, with cycles of learning.

  • Delete OFI – evidence on site presented to show this

has been addressed.

– Question: Can you identify a new OFI using ADLI, LeTCI, or B/O/M?

  • Don’t forget to save!

Update Comments to Match Findings

  • Some comments will stay the same
  • If you said you were going to edit a comment

(for example, to change from an approach OFI to deployment OFI), make that change

  • Clean up writing/grammar
  • There should be no more “it is not clear”

OFI in the system to say “deleted per site visit”

  • Do NOT delete the entire row
  • The Site Visit Issue findings should explain why

the comment was deleted
