| Few people like complicated
documents, and few managers have time to draw up or refer to different documents
for different purposes, such as recruitment, induction, training etc.
The idea of the Core Activity Statement is that you have ONE DOCUMENT to suit all of your needs
RECRUITMENT … the C.A.S. describes EXACTLY WHAT the job is, and what you are looking for. It helps when briefing agencies, and saves valuable thinking time when placing advertisements ( which are far more likely to attract the right candidate when they are well worded …) The C.A.S. is a tool you can use to draw up your interview questions. When making your decision you will have a standard document to refer to, thus avoiding claims of unfair selection. INDUCTION … few candidates will have all the skills and knowledge required to carry out their new role. The C.A.S. will help you to plan an effective induction programme. LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT … planning their development is key to retaining your employees, but without correct needs analysis you are likely to waste time and money training staff in the wrong things. By using the C.A.S. you will remain focused on exactly what the person needs to learn. PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT … the C.A.S. is a tool to use throughout the year to help the manager, together with the job holder, remain focused on the important aspects of the job. This in turn will make an formal annual appraisal process simpler and more effective. CAREER PATHS AND SUCCESSION PLANNING … this clear documentation allows employees seeking promotion to understand what they need to possess in order to progress. |
