Performance Management System

My performance has been assessed formally every 6 months with a tool called a Personal Development Plan (PDP). This document allows for my performance to be measured and areas that are underperforming to be addressed and areas in which i want to explore opportunities can be identified. Most recently i had a conversation with my team leader to see if i was meeting the expectations required of my role. She then asked me if i was looking to move up into a leadership role and if another roles in the unit interest me. We both agreed that I still needed to develop in my current role and i would be happy to pursue higher graded positions following the next review. It was also an opportunity for me to tell her what my interests were moving forward and she agreed that she would support me.

Key Responsibility               Performance Indicator        Review Notes

Implement safety programs and initiatives to ensure compliance with departmental requirements and targets in schools and workplaces
Attend regular workplace visits to deliver and implement new programs, communicate new programs to school, participate in reference groups to contribute to program design
100% met and attend when required.

My experience using the SMART objective framework allowed for my duties to be linked to the organizational objectives. I was able to clearly identify that I was meeting my objectives and how they contribute to the team output and feed up into the bigger picture. This process identifies areas that need improvement or can 
provide for a sideways move if my skillset can be better utilized in another area by way of professional development (Skillsforcare.org.uk, 2017). I did not find this experience difficult as I have been through the process a few times in different roles and understand the importance of having ones expectations met. Although I must comment that a lot of employees don't see the benefit as they don't want to move on in their career and just want to remain in their current position without having to deal with organizational change.

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...

How does Self-Efficacy Impact Leadership?

          “Self-belief does not necessarily ensure success, but self-disbelief assuredly spawns failure” (Bandura, 1997). This typically emphasized the importance of self-efficacy in relation to Cultural Intelligence (CQ). Self-efficacy has to do with the belief that one has the ability to meet a goal he or she wants to accomplish, and its impact on how he or she subsequently feels and acts (Cultural Intelligence for Leaders, 2012). This is a reminisce of the case of Kalia, in this case, study, whose low self-efficacy is negatively impacting on her ability to unite her team. Kalia is heading a diverse team of eight staff members within a large organization. It is evident there is conflict across her team, and the cross of the matter appears to be grounded in cultural differences linked to age, ethnicity, and gender. According to our reading text, Kalia has been able to identify the problem, but her constraint is how to address the issues because she seems not ...

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....
