An employer of choice is an organization that values employee well-being and offers a fulfilling career path, a supportive environment, and a culture that values employee well-being. This approach attracts and retains top talent through a holistic approach to employee satisfaction. Being recognized as an employer of choice has far-reaching implications, as it can lead to higher employee engagement, reduced turnover, and a stronger ability to attract top talent(Freeman, 1984).
Key characteristics of an employer of choice include employee recognition, work-life balance, comprehensive employee benefits package, employee engagement, company culture, job security, and a supportive work environment.
Employee recognition is a comprehensive strategy that includes both formal award systems and informal acknowledgments. Work-life balance is a critical aspect of modern employment, and employers of choice offer flexibility to help employees balance their professional and personal responsibilities effectively(Schmaltz & Tucker-Smith, 2005).
Comprehensive employee benefits package includes wellness programs, mental health support, and perks like gym memberships or childcare assistance. Employee engagement is crucial for a successful business, and a positive, inclusive, and dynamic company culture is essential for employee satisfaction and retention(Podgórska & Pichlak, 2019).
This is about her experience in handling different people and students within the campus.And her job role regarding it. It is a transformational type but also a servant leadership.
Ms Leandra Joseph inspires positive changes in those who follow the course and shows transformational leadership that is generally energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate. Not only are these leaders concerned and involved in the process, but they are also focused on helping every member of the group succeed.

MANAGEMENT FOR PRODUCTIVITY
Productivity management is an organizational framework that enhances productivity by converting inputs like labor and capital into outputs. Managers use goals, incentives, development, and communication strategies to enhance employee performance, maximizing business gains through improved productivity and quality, while poor management can lead to lackluster employee performance. Mistakes can deter progress, but assess whether they were due to carelessness or complex tasks. A reprimand if repeated, but discuss decision-making with team members. Encourage independent work and ask questions for feedback to improve productivity. Create a performance evaluation sheet with points for each factor and assign weights to reflect company objectives. Find each employee's productivity score by applying the weight of each metric. Productivity management involves motivating individuals and teams through goals, incentives, communication, development opportunities, and personalization, often part of a comprehensive talent management program or training(Bardoel et al. 2014).
Reflection
An employer of choice is an organization that prioritizes employee well-being, offering a fulfilling career path, a supportive environment, and a culture that values employee well-being. This approach attracts and retains top talent, leading to higher engagement, reduced turnover, and stronger talent attraction. Key characteristics include employee recognition, work-life balance, comprehensive benefits, employee engagement, company culture, job security, and a supportive work environment. Cash Employers offer high monetary compensation, but often face challenges like long working hours and high pressure. Valued Employers provide other forms of value, such as competitive compensation, work-life balance, growth opportunities, and effective communication. Dream Employers create an environment where employees feel valued and connected, promoting diversity and inclusion. To become an employer of choice, organizations should adopt a strategic approach, focusing on building a positive culture, promoting work-life balance, offering competitive compensation, fostering engagement, and prioritizing effective communication. This leads to increased productivity, reduced costs, and higher per capita income. Productivity measures task efficiency, affecting job performance and company production. It aids in achieving goals and increasing profits for individuals and companies.
Very interesting blog.You have explained Dream employee, Valued employee and cash employee.Which one you prefer ?
ReplyDeleteyes and Quantum field theory, which based quantum electromagnetism, faced a challenge in describing weak interactions due to the lack of mass for weak force carriers like W and Z bosons. The Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism solved this issue by creating a new quantum field called the Higgs field and a special trick called spontaneous symmetry breaking. This breaking occurs when a theory's equations are disrupted in the physical system, allowing the laws of nature to remain unchanged without disrupting the symmetry of physics.
DeleteThis blog discusses Ms. Leandra Joseph's inspirational leadership style, emphasizing her ability to inspire positive changes among students and colleagues. It presents the difference between Cash Employers and Valued Employers using the Higgs Model of Employer of Choice. It highlights how important it is to have a welcoming workplace that values workers' growth, well-being, and diversity so as to bring in and retain top talent.
ReplyDeleteYes and speaking about the theory....The Higgs boson, discovered in 2012, is a particle associated with the Behavioural Excitation-Hysteresis (BEH) mechanism. Its properties are predicted by the theory, providing strong evidence for the BEH mechanism. The discovery confirms the Higgs field and the BEH mechanism, allowing researchers to explore mysteries in particle physics and cosmology. we can compare them practically
DeleteInsightful breakdown of employer types using Higgs model. Dream Employers prioritize value, offering competitive pay, work-life balance, growth opportunities, and a supportive environment. Valuable insights for creating an attractive workplace.
ReplyDeleteThe Higgs boson differs from the Standard Model's simplest version, with theories like Supersymmetry and compositeness suggesting a zoo of new particles. CMS is a general-purpose detector designed to study high-energy particle collisions, aiming to uncover deeper, more fundamental theories beneath the Standard Model. Expected phenomena may be hidden beneath the Model.(Cahn and Dawson 1984)
DeleteGood work, Investing in talent attraction and retention strategies enhances employee satisfaction too.
ReplyDeleteYou can also refer to In the Standard Model, the Higgs particle is a massive scalar boson with zero spin, even (positive) parity, no electric charge, and no colour charge that couples to (interacts with) mass.
DeleteWell written Amesha,
ReplyDeleteIt’s a positive discussion on workplace management and HR strategies. The 'Higgs Model: Employer of Choice' was especially interesting. It clearly indicates the types of employers, some of which prioritize employee well-being and value over just monetary compensation. This perspective gives a better idea of what organizations value.
The terms 'Cash Employers' and 'Valued Employers' help us understand what makes employees happy and stay in their jobs. It's not just about how much money they make. Employees also want a work environment that supports their growth, gets them involved, and allows them to balance their work and personal life. It's not just about money, it's about creating a great place to work.
In today's world, companies need to create a work environment where employees feel appreciated, respected, and connected to the company. This approach aligns with the current trend in Human Resource Management (HRM) that focuses on the importance of employee experience and company culture to attract and retain top talent.
The discussion around 'Higgs Model: Employer of Choice' gives a good understanding of HR practices. It shows how important it is for companies to create a positive work environment and take care of their employees' well-being to be successful. This talk is a reminder to companies to not just focus on money but also on things that make their employees happy and committed in the long run.
Yes and also Employer branding involves strategies to shape an organization's reputation, promoting culture, values, growth opportunities, and employee experiences. Effective communication of the employer and employee value proposition establishes a strong brand, leading to higher employee satisfaction, improved retention rates, and industry leadership.

ReplyDeleteA unique approach to take a larger than life role model in Human Resources to convey points in leadership. I read about some new concepts such as "cash employers" - a concept I knew of through practical knowledge but the theory of which I was ignorant of.
Yes and The Higgs field is not considered a force. It cannot accelerate particles, it doesn't transfer energy. However, it interacts universally with all particles (except the massless ones), providing their masses. The Higgs boson is a particle.
DeleteVery nice article. Its very informative. As you explained, The Higgs Model of Employer of Choice focuses on creating workplaces that prioritise employee satisfaction, well-being, and development. It emphasises fostering a positive organisational culture, offering competitive benefits, and providing opportunities for career growth. By becoming an Employer of Choice, companies aim to attract and retain top talent in their industry
ReplyDeleteYes and Organizations can foster employee engagement through open communication, recognition, and a supportive work environment. They can also promote diversity and inclusion through training programs, equitable hiring practices, and a culture that values differences. A healthy work environment ensures physical and mental well-being.
DeleteAbsolutely, Ms. Leandra Joseph's approach to leadership aligns well with the principles of transformational leadership. By inspiring passion and motivation while actively supporting the success of each individual, she creates a positive and empowering environment for her followers.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, the concept of creating an employer of choice, as outlined in the Higgs Model, resonates with the importance of valuing employees and fostering a supportive workplace culture.
Yes and also Strategic HRM is a framework linking people management to long-term business goals, focusing on resourcing issues and HR strategies like reward or performance, integrating them into overall business strategy.
DeleteDear Amesha I do lost in the article i do feel like you want to highlight two areas . One is leaders role . When it comes to leaders section do you think if we can apply servant leadership. when it comes to higs model i believe you have missed to explain two areas benefits of the readers i have mention it below. I do believe Dream Employers have successfully created an environment where employees feel valued, respected, and connected to the organization(Higgs Model of Employee, 2023).
ReplyDeleteEmployers of Churn, characterized by high turnover rates and disengaged employees, often grapple with issues such as poor workplace culture, inadequate compensation, and limited growth opportunities (Smith, 2020). Conversely, Employers of Choice prioritize employee satisfaction, offering competitive compensation packages, fostering positive workplace cultures, and providing ample opportunities for career growth and development (Johnson, 2019).
To explain furthermore Standard Model. The Higgs mechanism was incorporated into modern particle physics by Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam, and is an essential part of the Standard Model. In the Standard Model, at temperatures high enough that electroweak symmetry is unbroken, all elementary particles are massless(Jain et al. 2017).
DeleteClear article on Higgs Model: Employer of Choice. The interview also excellent.
ReplyDeleteThe most important factor is Employers of cash prioritize financial compensation, often leading to long working hours and high-pressure roles. Employers of value focus on job security, professional growth, and a meaningful work environment. Employers of churn prioritize cost-cutting and fail to prioritize employee well-being, resulting in high turnover rates and difficulty attracting top talent. Employers of choice create an environment where employees feel valued, respected, and connected, focusing on competitive compensation, work-life balance, growth opportunities, engagement, communication, diversity, inclusion, flexible work arrangements, and a healthy work environment.
DeleteA really good article. The information elaborated was great and the theoretical explanation regarding employees of cash was very new to myself. I personally feel employees of value are a great asset to the organization. What type of employees do you feel are a great asset to the organization? The benefits of productivity and management of productivity has been well explained emphasizing the importance of those to the organization.
ReplyDeleteThankyou thenukshan! According to the theory, an individual can be productive and motivated to achieve the most they can if they are healthy, safe, secure and in an environment of meaningful people. Therefore, team productivity can increase only when employees of a company are in good health and feel safe and secure.
