Yields™ FAQs

Risk mitigation in our workforce is our big topic at the moment. How does Yields serve this need?

One of three central priorities of Yields and WRYM is addressing “risks” in each work role (the other two being “outcomes” and “resources”). Risks must be carefully assessed and addressed in each work role. Yields offers a wide range of assistance with each. Few things help reduce a work role’s risk more than disciplined knowledge management and continuous improvement, both of which are integral in the professional practice of WRYM with the Yields tool set.

What issues, if any, can we anticipate from our workplace’s organized labor leadership?

Where applicable, there is nothing inherent about Yields that should threaten, conflict with or pose issues with well-informed and constructively-intentioned labor unions. Quite the opposite, Yields may offer both organized labor leadership and the organization’s management with a fresh and more effective paradigm of cooperation, results and progress shared for the benefit of the organization and the applicable workers. Yields addresses today’s organizational, workplace and work realities with significant efficacy for the potential benefit of all players. Yields offers a variety of means for purging of zero-sum or destructive antagonistic points of view, and in its place, the insertion of prospective success models based upon collaborative work role designs.

Do I understand correctly that if I am not satisfied I can return this product for a full refund, even if I have opened it and used it?

That is correct. We desire you to be totally satisfied with your purchase and we certainly do not wish for you to have to keep it for any reason should you not absolutely appreciate its value to you and your organization. Your only responsibilities in such unforeseen circumstances would be the return shipping of all components and not to use or apply any component, applicable content or software afterwards without a license to do so.

Are there certification programs available?

Yes, WRYM certification is available, and the certification process includes Yields. Certification is important wherever the professional practice and deployment quality of WRYM is deemed critical within the workplace and to an organization’s best future.

Yields sounds too good to be true. Are you guilty of hyperbole?

That is not our intent, though we are unquestionably enthusiastic about the merit and significant returns on the investmest related to the use of Yields within the practice of WRYM. This is a product that "truly keeps on giving" as it is adopted and applied throughout a lifespan of work role relations, ...from design to recruiting to management to transitions (all within vital process of continuous improvement and knowledge). We certainly desire for you to experience its wide spectrum of rewards and are eager to support you in doing so.

Every 6 months we seem to keep suffering from the same problems despite progressive management development programs. Can Yields shed some light on what is going on with this?

This is a common occurrence in many workplaces. Yields can help you find the reasons for this, plus offer a more informed and creative path to solutions that become lasting remedies. Remember, Yields gives the means of discovery of the underlying causes as well as methods for solutions. It is up to you with the usage of Yields to pursue accurate information, have the courage to make the right decisions and to validate that the solutions are indeed what you seek.

We have some great company-wide initiatives underway, but there's always a department or group where nothing seems to work. Can Yields help?

Yes it can, but it may take more than just Yields. Yields is a very potent addition to any workplace, but it is not in itself, omnipotent.

Can Yields assist in the design of upper-level management and executive roles, such as usage by our board of directors?

Yes. Yields usage and value is applicable to any work role in an organization’s hierarchy or by any user that is trying to achieve greater results from any work role thereof.

Is my understanding correct that Yields can help me develop and produce instructional guidance for both managers and workers, as well as for recruiters and candidates, all related to any given work role that I choose?

That is a correct understanding. In many cases work roles (and workers within) generate sub-optimal organizational results due to weak, incorrect, incomplete or missing information. There is often missed opportunities in how the information is shared between one or more of these constituents that you mention. Yields addresses much of this widespread need within organizations.

Yields enables thorough assessment, consideration, design and composition of accurate, instructive information that each constituent requires in the optimal execution, engagement, responsiveness and accountabilities related to the work role. Beyond this, Yields also includes a platform of continuous improvement, knowledge management and validating measurement design regarding the many forms of multi-faceted information that is published to the work role's many important audiences.

Ultimately the mind is the source of maximum performance (as well as the majority of performance dysfunctions) from any worker, manager and recruiter, as well as responsiveness from the most desirable candidates. It behooves any organization to extend significant attention and care in "informing the minds" that create the organization's destiny. WRYM and its Yields suite of tools and instruction encourages and equips any organization to achieve mastery in the feeding and nurturing of the minds of its workforce ...diligently and constantly.

Points of views regarding the work to be done or the workplace ecosystem should not be left to chance, fate, extraneous (sometimes toxic) external and internal influences, assumptions, word-of-mouth grapevines and so forth as often is the case. The creation and dissemination of high-quality information about all relevant contexts of a work role, when presented in an effective manner to a well-chosen, well-utilized audience, should inevitably and predictably lead you to the “yields” you seek.
