View Job In Three Dimensions
View job in three dimensions
There are three ways to view every job. First, there is your perceived job - what you think you are doing. Second, there is your ideal job - what you ought to be doing. And third, there is your actual job - what you are doing. Examining your job from all three perspectives can provide extremely valuable insight for improving your performance. Here is how to do it.
First, write out a list of everything you do in your job. This is like a brief job description. List everything you think of.
Next, you will want to consider the value of each segment. Considering the overall results you are responsible for achieving, what is the importance of each item you have listed? How much does each one contribute to your results? Rank everything on your list from the most important to the least important.
Then, estimate what percentage of your time you think you are spending on every item you have listed. Consider a typical week, month, or whatever time frame is easiest for you. Be sure the total equals 100 percent.
Discrimination Law Against Discrimination Law?!
Very often on our courses, we illustrate the positive and negative pendulum that can hold sway in a diverse society. Positively, you make an improvement for one individual or a group and you secure a spin off benefit for those outside the group. Removing debris from a footpath will make things safer for those with mobility issues but also will enhance the environment and help those carrying shopping or even pushing a pram!
But sometimes, you make an improvement in one area and create tension, resentment, jealousy and at worse a severe backlash. The battle of the sexes, the perceived notion that “they” are getting more benefits than me and impatience with those less able is all part of this potentially poisonous cocktail! But nowhere it seems is this negative backlash more to the fore than between those who hold genuinely religious beliefs and those who wish to be free to live their lives under the law as gay, lesbian or bisexual individuals.
In recent months, there seem to have been an avalanche of claims reaching tribunals reflecting these theological and secular tensions. The overarching lessons emerging from what have been largely employers victories are to be found in common sense key questions:-
“Have you carefully considered the complaint or request in front of you?”
And if you have, has your response been:-
· Reasonable?
· Practical?
· Proportionate?
Viewed against this backcloth, the following recent cases can be seen in real perspective:-
Miss Ladale v Islington Borough Council
The applicant, a devout Christian, was employed as a registrar with the local authority. Her duties included registering marriages. When the Civil Partnership Act 2004 was introduced in December 2005, all registrars were required to carry out civil partnership ceremeonies.These were generally shared out in approximately the same proportion as marriage duties. Miss Ladale refused to carry out these new duties. Initially, she won her claim of direct and indirect discrimination as well as harassment. But an essential part of the Employment Appeal Tribunal ruling which overturned the earlier victory is interesting:-
“ The Council was entitled to decide that Miss Ladale could not pick and choose which duties she would perform depending on her religious views, at least in circumstances where her personal stance involved discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation.”
Gary McFarlane v Relate
Mr McFarlane was employed by Relate as a counsellor. He was trained by them to be a psychosexual therapist and his role in consequence was extended to giving advice on sexual problems encountered by couples. He too was a devout and practicing Christian. When he refused to give advice to same sex couples, he was initially suspended and ultimately dismissed for failing to uphold Relates equal opportunities policies. The tribunal ruled against him, with the telling comments:-
“His dismissal by Relate was a proportionate means of achieving the legitimate aim of maintaining its commitment to providing a service to all sections of the community without any suggestions of discrimination. Relate would have treated any other employee in the same way, who, for reasons unrelated to religion had acted in a way so at odds with its equal opportunity policy.”
Mohammed Ahmed v TESCO
Mr Ahmed, recruited by the supermarket giant, as a forklift truck operator refused to handle alcoholic goods as part of his duties. He is a devout Muslim and as such he said could not handle alcohol. TESCO, who won the case, said that on appointment Mr Ahmed had never raised such objections and was indeed told in his job interview about the wide range of goods that were stored and subsequently sold in their supermarkets, including alcoholic drink.
Motivation Theories- the Foundation to Employee Motivation
In the past, employees
were not given much of a thought, not more than just another input into the production of goods and services. Employee motivation was not the main concern of the managers.
However, as the time passed by the ‘Hawthorne Experiment’ a research conducted by Elton Mayo in 1924, basically changed the way of thinking about the employees. the study of Elton Mayo pointed out the fact that money does not motivate employees to use their full potential, but instead it is the employee attitudes that keeps them going and linked with behaviour. As a result, this gave rise to what is known as the Human Relations approach to management which lead the managers to focus mainly on the needs of employees and thus finding ways to motivate them.
Even though the managers began to concentrate on motivating employees thereafter, this was not an easy task to do, as understanding the employees and motivating them needed careful consideration. If not so ever, then the time and money spent on motivating employees may be of no use to the organization or the employee, if the employees were motivated the wrong way.As a result, to understand the whole concept of motivation and help the managers carry out the strategy, it is important to look into the theories of motivation, which developed soon after the study of the Hawthorne Experiment.
The motivation theories developed, as a result of the researches carried out by the theorists focusing understanding what motivated employees and how they were motivated. Hence so, let us have a closer look at four of the good motivational theories that explains what motivates employees, in order to understand and do the best possible way to motivate them.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs Theory
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory is one of the important theories that provide an insight to understand what basically motivates employees and how it should be done if the employees are to be motivated. Maslow identified five levels of needs. They are,
Self Actualization ( level 5 - highest level)
Esteem ( level 4 )
Social belonging & love needs ( level 3)
safety ( level 2 )
Physiology ( level 1 - lowest level)
These five levels of needs have to be satisfied if the employees are to be motivated. In other words, it is said that motivation is thus driven by the existence of these unsatisfied needs. Maslow pointed out the fact that, in order to motivate the employees, first of all the lower level of needs have to be met before the next higher level of needs. What he meant by this was that only once the lower level of needs have been satisfied the employee will be motivated to satisfy the next higher level of needs. For example, an is at the lowest level of the hierarchy will only be motivated by a good pay well enough to afford his basic needs rather than safety of his work area and stability of the job etc. As a result, the hierarchy of needs theory highlights the fact that employees do differ from each other, and if they are to be motivated it is thus vital to look into their needs first and then come up with the suitable motivation techniques effectively.
The Importance Of Human Resources Management (Hrm) In Modern Organizations
Organizational Psychology holds that successful organizations do not owe their success solely to market realities and sustainable competitive advantages. Actually, there is a lot more. Successful companies are those that consider their human capital as their most important asset. Facts and figures are the quantitative elements of successful management, yet the qualitative, i.e. the cognitive aspects, are those that actually make or break an organization.
Human Resources Management (HRM) is the strategic management of the employees, who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the strategic objectives of the organization. Assuming that the employees of an organization are individuals with own mental maps and perceptions, own goals and own personalities and as such they cannot be perceived as a whole, HRM holds that the organization should be able to employ both individual and group psychology in order to commit employees to the achievement of organizational goals.
Aiming to enable the organization to achieve its strategic goals by attracting, retaining and developing employees, HRM functions as the link between the organization and the employees. A company should first become aware of the needs of its employees, and at a later stage, understand and evaluate these needs in order to make its employees perceive their job as a part of their personal life, and not as a routine obligation. To that end, HRM is very crucial for the whole function of an organization because it assists the organization to create loyal employees, who are ready to offer their best.
Business Birthday Cards Say More Than Just Happy Birthday
Business Birthday Cards offer great opportunities to send best wishes to those you do business with inside and outside the company. Although some may argue they would rather not acknowledge their birthday, most secretly look forward to the smiles and Happy Birthday greetings they receive on their special day. Here are a number of ways a business will benefit by sending business birthday cards.
1. Loyalty. Business associates, employees and customers will feel they are special when your business takes the time and effort to remember them on their big day. They will know that they matter and will feel they are part of the business family. That small special effort is certain to reap rewards with strengthened loyalty to the company.
Birthday Cards
2. Networking. Have a greeting card circulated within the company and signed before presenting or sending it to that special birthday girl or guy. By planning ahead all will know when that special day comes which will afford everyone the opportunity to say “Happy Birthday” to those they may not normally converse with during their normal daily routine. This type of networking is great for building team unity and business relationships.
Handling Layoffs
Should Layoffs Be Your First Choice?
Other types of cost savings can offset the gains received from downsizing. There may be opportunities that emerge to expand your market, shore up your position in your market, or move into a new market even during a downturn. In this way, the gains can be felt without the pain; because we shouldn’t kid ourselves – personnel cutbacks are painful. Studies show that it is the most stressful action that managers have to take as part of their job description.
Avoid the Need for a Layoff
Determining the dollar spend that has to be cut in the organization is the first step. A re-look at the strategy has to be the next step. Questions need to be asked, like: Have all possible future scenarios been explored? Are the strategic goals the right ones for the envisioned future? Has the budget been proportioned in alignment with the strategy? Where in the organization have results not been forthcoming, and why? Are there unexplored external opportunities to analyze and pursue? Has the current and potential customer interface been fully explored? Could there be new markets for the business?
What is the Best Online Testing Tool for Employers and Recruiters
It is a known fact that any useful HR department or employment agency have tools to test a person’s skill set. This could be a practical skill, technical skill or behavioral skill. However, has time changes, a flexible HR department or employment selection agency, will need to move forward with more powerful technologies that help them further in their area of expertise, candidate selection! In the early 90’s online filtering was not really appreciable and the technologies employed were generally a database full of resumes from which to select people for possible interview.
Late in the 90’s LMS (Learning Management Systems) broke like wildfire and many corporate firms started to see the logic in a organized approach to employee training, recruitment and retention.
As the 90’s went by and the Internet started to reach a larger audience, many of the firms being reviewed were formed to try and offer solutions to firms from an outsourced net solution. These firms continue to improve products with technology and these firms reviewed are no different. However here is our review of their current state of play and how you could benefit from reading the review and finding which one suits your corporate or small business environment.
What Kind of Man is Barack Obama?
It has been decided at last: Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States but what sort of leader will he be? The campaign, carefully and brilliantly orchestrated as it was, really only provided a few clues. Intriguingly, and unusually for a practising politician, he has already written several books about himself. By analysing these in-depth we have been able to produce a psychological profile of the President Elect.
Taking his strengths first, it is clear that he is analytical but can also judge mood and atmosphere. Using all of this, he is able to see the bigger picture which may pass others by.
When interacting with others, Obama is able to empathise. When dealing with his employees, in particular his Cabinet, you can expect to see someone who will empower others to work hard, whilst expecting them to deliver results. All of this helps build confidence, loyalty and trust.
Recruiting Staff in a Labour Short Market
The Challenge
Everyone in business is dealing with the ongoing challenge of recruiting staff with Australia close to full employment. We are currently in an economy that has arguably full employment, low inflation, still modest interest rates (certainly historically), a resources boom, bullish stock market and record property values. It’s a seller’s market and candidates know their bargaining power and are exercising it.
So what can you do to give yourself a better chance to recruit talented staff?
Have your business ready to recruit. It is imperative that you detail your business’ recruitment process. How many interviews will you have with each prospective candidate? Where will you hold interviews? What are your interview questions? Who will attend? How long do interviews run for? Who will conduct reference checking? What needs to happen to reach a hiring decision? What are the steps you take to communicate with candidates you wish to offer a position? How do you deal with unsuccessful candidates? Be prepared for hard searching questions from candidates and deal with them constructively. Your recruitment process is critical to creating an objective systemised process for recruiting staff and no doubt influences a candidate’s decision to join you.
Document a personnel system. A personnel system typically includes a documented personnel diagram, job descriptions, standard employment agreements, standard letters/emails, induction checklist and employment policies.
