WEEK 2 Day 2: Valuing/Integration The best method for hiring and recruitment of several employees would be a job advertisement. It is an announcement of an open job position. It can be printed in a newspaper, journals, magazines, bulletin boards and the most convenient way is thru internet in which many people can see that. The main goal of a job advertisement is to inform potential job candidates about a new opening and attract them to apply. It is written in an engaging tone and it contains information not only about the job position, but also about the company and the benefits that can be offer. Day 3: Application Strengths I'm very creative. I often impress clients with a new perspective on their brands. I communicate well with my clients and team. I have the ability to ask key questions to find just the right marketing angle. I'm completely committed to the success of a client's brand. Weaknesses I have a strong, compulsive need to do things quickly and remove them from my "to do" list, and sometimes the quality of my work suffers as a result. This same need to get things done also causes me stress when I have too many tasks. I get nervous when presenting ideas to clients, and this fear of public speaking often takes the passion out of my presentations. Opportunities One of our major competitors has developed a reputation for treating their smaller clients poorly. I'm attending a major marketing conference next month. This will allow for strategic networking, and also offer some great training seminars. Threats One of my colleagues, is a much stronger speaker than I am, and he's competing with me for the position. Due to recent staff shortages, I'm often overworked, and this negatively impacts my creativity. The current economic climate has resulted in slow growth for the marketing industry. Many firms have laid off staff members, and our company is considering further cutbacks. Post Assessment Workforce planning connects recruiting, hiring, employee development, and talent management by identifying needed skills, assisting recruiters in targeting the right candidates with those skills, and assisting managers in charting internal employee growth pathways. Workforce planning is about more than just hiring new employees; it is also about bridging the gap between what you have and what you need. If done correctly, you can determine who is capable of stepping into new roles with training and development and who may not be able to stay in a job because the required skill set is changing. Workforce planning is concerned with all types of movement—up, down, in, out, and across the organization. WEEK 3 Day 2: Valuing/Integration 1. The ability to endure an unpleasant situation is the most important quality HR managers look for in a candidate. Because turnover can be costly for the company, HR prefers to hire someone who is dedicated and willing to stick around for a long time. Another quality is trustworthiness. This is the most important trait to look for in a candidate. A reliable employee will provide long-term benefits to the organization and is likely to remain with the company for a long time. Companies prefer to hire multi-tasking employees as competition grows across all industries. This quality not only benefits the company but also improves the individual's job profile. Businesses frequently cut costs by hiring fewer employees who can multitask. As a result, being a multi-tasked can help you land that job. Everyone wants an asset in their kitty rather than a liability, so motivated and self-driven individuals are the best bet for any organization. Employees who are naturally ambitious work hard and strive to outperform their own performance at work. Organizations are full of various beings; some are afrai of competition, while others are too relaxed to bother. As a result, a team player's role is critical in maintaining the balance. A person who demonstrates a high level of perseverance and gratitude to work is a good candidate for employment. Finally, maintain a positive attitude. A positive attitude attracts winners, so organizations seek employees with a positive attitude. A person with a positive attitude is more likely to be hired because they can face failure and competition with confidence. 2. Integrity means living in accordance with your deepest values, being honest with everyone, and always keeping your word. Integrity is a highly valued characteristic, particularly among leaders. You are more likely to be considered for important promotions and leadership positions if you live with integrity. Workplace integrity is beneficial not only to businesses, but also to individuals. You will gain respect and trust from your peers and managers if you demonstrate that you are an honest and dependable person, which can also play a significant role in your career growth, progression, and overall success. Day 3: Application For the Salesperson, Screening sales tests are typically divided into sections such as sales skills, personality profile, and aptitude. A questionnaire in which job seekers rate their skills, a sales scenario test, and a test to measure reasoning, analytical skills, language, and basic math may all be included. A sales skill assessment, also known as a sales talent assessment, is a test that determines how well a sales job candidate can complete the tasks assigned to them. Candidates may be required to act out a client phone call, submit a writing sample, conduct client research, and other tasks. For the experienced supervisor, we can use Cognitive Ability test and Work Sample test. These tests are used by employers to predict a candidate's ability to perform various job functions and learn new skills. Cognitive ability tests, also known as General Mental Ability or GMA assessments, can be used to provide a quick assessment of a job candidate's overall reasoning, memory, and perception. Work sample tests require applicants to complete tasks or activities that are similar to those performed by employees on the job. For example, applicants for Administrative Assistant positions may be required to use a word processor to transcribe an internal memo or to accurately file a stack of paperwork. Post – Assessment 1.

Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality. -Ralph Marston You were so determined to walk that your success mechanism went through several iterations: try; error; adjust; error;. success and walk! Your expectations of success influenced what you accomplished even before you could think in words. Day 2: Valuing/Integration Last semester has been challenging but fruitful for me because I have had to work hard so far, but I have made significant progress in my learning and believe I have been successful thus far. In this regard, my failures are as important as, if not more important than, my successes because I have learned more from my failures than from my successes. As a result, the main lesson I have probably learned is that I should not rejoice when I succeed, but rather stay aware and focused on my progress in order to perform well and succeed in my learning. After reviewing my performance throughout the semester, I believe I was quite successful to a large extent. In this regard, it is worth noting that I completed seven essays during the semester, almost all of which were quite successful, as I received grades on the majority of them. I was pleased with my performance, but I am constantly concerned with receiving grades for my work, as this is the only acceptable grade for me. I am a person who is driven by success. By the way, I believe research skills became especially important for me this semester because I conducted research before writing my papers. I noticed that I wasn't particularly enthusiastic about researching topics that I thought I was well-versed in. However, when I began my research, I discovered many important and noteworthy facts that I had never known before. Day 3: Application Marie must provide a fair and balanced assessment of an employee's performance annually, semi- annually, quarterly, depending on her preferences. Analyze the satisfaction levels and the self- perception of productivity of employees from their business. Increase in satisfaction can lead to increase in productivity. Marie must learn to communicate organizational accountability for meeting those goals, track individual and organizational performance results. It involves of planning, coaching and reviews. Marie must provide fair and balanced assessment of employee's performance and business policies. She must provide business mission, vision, goals and objectives for the succession of their business. She also needs to analyze employees satisfaction, for an increase of satisfaction may lead to increase in productivity. Post – Assessment Your criteria for judging employee performance should include quantitative elements such as their goals and target achievement. While much of a performance appraisal is qualitative and subjective, the goals and achievement element is objective and measurable in clear numbers. Employee performance is defined as how an employee fulfills their job duties and executes their required tasks. It refers to the effectiveness, quality, and efficiency of their output. Performance also contributes to our assessment of how valuable an employee is to the organization.
