performance evaluation

Using your own job (current or past) and briefly discuss how your performance was managed and evaluated.
Working in the Computer field for years. I find my job role seems to become more flexible. Now, I often find myself doing a little bit of everything. Especially when there is an absent employee, and I would take over his/her duties till he/she came back to resume his/her job role. Normally, my job is helping management to oversee this computer store, so as to make sure it is up and running smoothly. Usually, I manage my job with a method to plan for upcoming event early, so the work can be handled more efficiently without being in a hurry. Preparing the needed mentor and consulting for employees when issues occur would help my job performance to be better. Often, when a planned job gets done, we will take a look to see if there are areas that need to be adjusted (Nguyen, 2017). We will also do the evaluation and ask for feedbacks so as to make a progress and to have a better performance next time (Uzialko, 2018). 
Using your experience, consider the three most important job duties and design three (3) objects or measurements using the SMART method. 
 SMART method:
. Specific: Identifying and working on a project specifically
. Measureable: Using data and numbers that is countable
. Achievable: Making a goal to be realistic, achievable and reachable 
. Relevant: Linking the needs of the manager and team to the value of the project
. Time- Bound: Setting a time frame for finishing a project (Parkhill, 2017)
My job duties include: Giving the technical support to the front desk when an issue of invoice issuing occurs; verifying/ correcting both customer and products’ data; making sure work files are recorded and saved. Through SMART method, in our work place, projects can be better done. For instance, we can design our marketing to be more specific, measurable, and attainable. We can design our technical support to be more specific and relevant. We can design our HR policy to a degree that would be more specific in protecting our company from the possible employment lawsuits by designing a way that is more measurable, relevant, and workable (Practically Perfect PA, 2013).
Once you’ve done this, discuss your experience using this method. Did you find it difficult? Why or why not?
My experience of using SMART method: Using SMART method has made our company goals to be more clear and specific. It makes it easier for every employee to carry out our company’s goals. SMART method empowers each of us to become confident in achieving goals. It also assists me to become a better leader/ HR manager. Besides, I would like to become a HR director, who would become one of our company’s top executives. For this specific goal, I am looking forward to learn and gain the necessary knowledge /experiences / certification to be prepared for that job position if there is an opportunity (Parkhill, 2017).

What is Acquire, Build, Contemplate, and Do ?

          According to our reading text Cultural Intelligence for Leaders (2012), to acquire knowledge has to do with the cognition and developing the understanding of the different aspects of culture. It is important that we understand and are able to identify the cultural elements and their relations such as the channels of communication and their impact on behaviors and attitudes of the people (Cultural Intelligence for Leaders, 2012).           Metacognition comes to play when we build our strategic thinking that explores the knowledge we acquired in an unfamiliar culture. A person should be able to analyze the data collected in the previous step to detect patterns or causes. Doing this analysis helps us to understand the behaviors and attitudes of people (Cultural Intelligence for Leaders, 2012).           Because of the possibility that we may encounter difficulties while trying to become familiar with...

Work life balance tips for HRs

Benefits—Tangible and to the Culture of an organization that undertakes the adoption of policies designed to help employees with work-life balance?  What does an organization stand to gain if it can work through the growing pains of implementation?    Employers who choose to adopt some work-life policies may find that the candidate pool of applicants increases since employee are always interested in balancing their work and personal lives.  Clearly, a benefit is being able to attract the best possible candidates.  Absenteeism may decrease if employees are able to better structure their lives because of time, or a day, to be taken may not need to be taken if the employee is able to use a flexible schedule, (Kossek, 2009).  Additionally, those employees who wish to start a family may feel at ease knowing that as circumstances in their life changes, their employer has mechanisms for employee flexibility.  This means that there may be less absenteeism....

What are the Cultural Makeup We are Unaware Of?

          Having a thorough understanding of cultural influences and components is a prerequisite that helps employers and the human capital managers tolerate and better manage individuals and employees with cultural differences to avoid misconceptions and altercations due to “cultural misunderstandings” (Lynch, 2017).           In as much as there are tangible aspects/elements of culture such as dressing, language, food, etc., the biggest components of culture are actually hidden beneath the surface. This comprises of the invisible values and rules that differentiate one culture from the other (Penstone, 2011). It is always difficult to use the rule of culture to interpret the components of another culture. Crucially, the tangible and visible aspect of a culture is usually influenced by the hidden components, such as values, notion, attitudes, and assumptions (Penstone, 2011). Edward T. Hall in his 1976 theory de...
