Work Expectations
The Work Expectations Profile - A personal learning guide for increasing commitment and job satisfaction
According to the March 2002 issue of Executive Female and the U.S. Department of Labor, the base cost of replacing a worker is 30% of that person's annual earnings.
Looking more broadly at costs, a recent survey by ISA member firm, DDI, found that Human Resource professionals appraise the cost of a poor hiring decision for highly skilled professional or leadership position to be $107,970.00 based on an annual salary of $48,000.
What does that mean to you and to your clients?
Show them the statistics! Faced with skyrocketing costs for replacing valuable employees, the best investment they can make is to invest in a solid retention strategy using Inscape's Work Expectations Profile as their foundation.
Many times, unhappy employees leave without revealing their work expectations or their disappointment. This engaging learning instrument helps employees understand and manage their work expectations.
Research shows that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated work expectations have better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction than people whose work expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And, companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover.

Small investment; outstanding results!
Work expectations are those things people consider likely to happen in their job situation, either now or in the future. Whether spoken or unspoken, met or unmet, work expectations have a powerful impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and play a key role in driving our attitudes.

Unspoken, unrecognized work expectations in the workplace can lead to job frustration, substandard performance, decreased job commitment, and high turnover. The Work Expectations Profile, a comprehensive employee satisfaction program, provides a tool for employers and employees to establish a process for identifying and managing work expectations.
