Worker Performance
Recommitment and reestablishment of expectations formal documentation of problems and write up
process separation interviews are conducted were necessary a commitment to rules and regulation enforcement.
IKEA Documentation and Write up process
verbal coaching This is to help the employee to improve on what
expectation they are not meeting Formal Letter of Clarity
This document is a permanent record that provides documented proof that a conversation was had about the performance of the individual employee
. This letter is specific to what expectations the employee did not meet and how to fix it.
IKEA Documentation and Write up process cont.
PIP or Performance Improvement Plan It provides the employee with strict feedback and
coaching on what areas of their job are not being met . This is used to reinforce the same topics that were
not improved on after the letter of clarity.
Employee Separation procedures
IKEA has established a separation strategy called the exit interview
These interviews can gather some data on how to improve the overall health of the management team and can lead to some new initiatives in improving employee satisfaction
Rule Enforcement
IKEA strictly adheres to all of the policies in order to make sure that we are providing the best service to our customers and providing the best working conditions for our employees
Most importantly the rules at IKEA are enforced constantly with every employee in the company. IKEA really makes sure that each process is followed to the letter when it comes to termination and documentation as well as company wide policies.
Summary
The new process change is a success for the IKEA customers and IKEA
The new process has affected the company in each division
The process can be implemented into any IKEA store
IKEA will benefit from the process change via higher customer retention numbers and greater employee skill sets and business process knowledge
Conclusion
IKEA management must use the new reporting structure to ensure that the process continues to remain viable and productive to the IKEA bottom line
IKEA management must also enforce all employee rules and training requirements
IKEA management should implement the new process in as many of the IKEA stores as possible Keeping in mind that the process may be a little different
at the other stores The more stores that the new process is used at will
mean the more benefit that IKEA can recieve
