Employees on its Employee Experience

Big Blue is actively involving its employees in retooling its processes.

By: Andrew R. McIlvaine | March 1, 2018 • 4 min read

Topics: Uncategorized

Earlier this year I posted about how more employers are planning to use HR tech tools to boost their employee experience. Now, in the March/April issue of Harvard Business Review, IBM CHRO Diane Gherson explains in a Q&A how Big Blue is “co-creating the employee experience” with its employees, with the understanding that positive rates of employee engagement translate directly to the company’s bottom line.

“We’ve found that employee engagement explains two-thirds of our client experience scores,” she said. “And if we’re able to increase client satisfaction by five points on an account, we see an extra 20 percent in revenue, on average.”

Gherson and her team have done a lot of work in collaborating with employees to redesign and enhance HR processes, particularly learning and development and performance management. With the former, Gherson said IBM has taken a “Netflix” approach to learning and development, bringing in employees to help create an individually personalized learning platform with different channels, tailored by role, with “intelligent recommendations that are continually updated.” 

Employees are guided in their course selections by a live-chat advisor as well as ratings by coworkers who’ve taken the courses, said Gherson. HR also measures the offerings’ effectiveness via Net Promoter Scores, which she said are more accurate than a previously used five-point satisfaction scale.

As for improving the performance management process, Gherson said IBM disregarded what she said would be a typical approach – conduct some benchmarking, convene a group of experts, come up with a design and pilot it – in favor of working with employees “in a sort of extended hackathon.”

“We used design thinking and came up with something you might describe as a ‘concept car’— something for people to test drive and kick the tires on, instead of just dealing with concepts,” she said.

Gherson said she initially encountered some skepticism from employees after inviting them to participate in the process.

“Some people said ‘This is such a sham—you already know what you want to do,'” she said. “But then we explained that we really wanted to hear from them, and we got them into various discussion forums.”

Ultimately, about 100,000 IBMers participated in the redesign process, Gherson said. Employees even selected a name for the redesigned PM process: Checkpoint. Even now, the company continues to solicit input from employees on how the process can be improved, she said.

The employee response has been overwhelmingly positive, said Gherson. “Their overall message has been ‘This is what we wanted.’ It was cited as the top reason engagement improved.”

“People are getting much more feedback out of this system, in much richer ways,” she said. “And more important, they are not feeling like spectators in our transformation; they are active participants.”

    Daniel Ferreira, 24, is a guy who had to learn to overcome expectations from the day hewas born, without his arms, due to a treatment with thalidomy that his mother had to do during pregnancy. “Some relatives did not bet a chip on me; they saw me as a poor thing,” he says. It turns out that he did not put any brakes on any ambition, he did very well in life and,painting with his feet and mouth, he became a fine artist.
  About the International Day of People with Disabilities, celebrated last Wednesday (3), he says: “Unfortunately, we still need special days toremember minorities, such as blacks,homosexuals and the disabled. Brazil is not prepared in any way to meet the needs of people with disabilities. There is no accessibility. Neither public nor private schools have a structure. We still have a lot to fight for ”.
     The boy speaks properly on the subject, since he had to fight hard to be able to study in a regular public school, from the age of seven. The principal argued that the state institution was not supported to receive a student with a disability. His father, Francisco, was the one who had to build a special desk, without State aid, so that Daniel could write with his feet.

Tex-Mex Cuisine
Tex-Mex is a well-known cuisine in the United States, although many people are not certain what it actually is. One fact that everyone agrees on is that it is a style of cooking from the southern state of Texas. It combines Texan ingredients with Mexican recipes, because the state has a large population from south of the border. The combination makes a tasty, exciting type of home cooking that is popular all over the state.
One of the most popular dishes is the enchilada. It is a type of corn tortilla which contains chicken or melted cheese, with plenty of onions. There are usually some beans or rice with this dish. Some Tex-Mex restaurants serve enchiladas with three sauces in red, white, and green, the colors of the Mexican flag.
Along with enchiladas, which are soft, there are also tacos. These are hard, crispy pieces of corn which are fried in oil. Cooks then stuff them with beef in a rich tomato sauce, as well as onions and cheese. As with many Tex-Mex dishes, there aren’t any rules for eating them, except that it is best to use your hands. They are often messy to eat because they are full of sauce and cheese. You can put almost anything in them, which is why this versatile Mexican dish is now popular all over the US.
Look at the underlined words in the extract below. ‘There are usually some beans or rice with this dish.’ If the extract were written in the negative, which of the following options would be correct?

TEXT 1: How brightly the moon glows is a mystery, but maybe not for long.


    “The lunar dark side may be the moon’s more mysterious face, but there’s something pretty basic scientists still don’t know about the bright side — namely, just how bright it is.

    Current estimates of the moon’s brightness at any given time and vantage point are saddled with at least 5 percent uncertainty. That’s because those estimates are based on measurements from ground-based telescopes that gaze at the moon through the haze of Earth’s atmosphere.

    Now, scientists have sent a telescope beyond the clouds on a high-altitude airplane in hopes of gauging the moon’s glow within about 1 percent or less uncertainty, the National Institute of Standards and Technology reports in a Nov. 19 news release.

    Knowing the exact brightness of Earth’s celestial night-light could increase the reliability of data from Earth-observing satellites that use the moon’s steady glow to check that their sensors are working properly. Those satellites keep tabs on things like weather, crop health and dangerous algal blooms.”
