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 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...

how can HR Managers help raise the cultural intelligence of an organization.

I will start by saying that, I have worked for 2 employers so far in my 12 years career and I do not think the HR took any substantial step to raise cultural awareness. Saying that I will share my thoughts on what the HR can do.             I have always worked in multinational companies with people from various national backgrounds. While working regardless of cultural differences you are supposed to know your work and deliver. So, there is no bonding or cultural exchanges happen. But someone like myself who worked in multiple geographies can easily distinguish between work culture in India, USA, and Australia.             So, first thing, HR can do, before sending employees in foreign assignments they can train them about the countries culture and people. Along with any other training that is useful. In fact, I would say, learning the language and being able to follow accent i...

How the four areas of cultural intelligence aid a leader in understanding culture as well as intercultural efforts?

The introduction to this Unit points out that technological and globalization have taken our interdependence with our work colleagues outside the office. We are now connected in so many ways, to so many people, from so many walks of life. Such, often unintentional, interconnectedness changes the rules about how we need to think about the world and how we need to interact with the people we meet in it. Cultural intelligence can help us negotiate this new world, help us engage people, “create systems of inclusion” (Saylor, 2012, p.188), and thereby be more included ourselves. The four areas in which cultural intelligence will significantly improve our understanding of culture and intercultural work are; reframing, adaptive work, systems thinking, and consciousness. (Saylor, 2012, p.187) Cultural intelligence is our ability to successfully adapt to unfamiliar cultural settings. (Saylor, 2012, p.68) Reframing, adaptive work, systems thinking, and consciousness are all part of our cult...
