Employee Portfolio Summary
Self-assessment of employees is a very great way for employers to get more insight of their employee’s compatibility to their job and reflection of their performance. This approach enables employer to get a better insight of their employee’s weakness and strength, whom in the team they would blend and work well with and how their ability may better benefit the organization.

Three employees were selected to take the self-assessment test; all three of them participated in the following assessment: How satisfied am I with my job? Am I Engaged? And how are you feeling right now? They all have scored very high when it comes to their job satisfaction.
With the employees being satisfied with their job and enjoying what they do, will definitely improve productivity and empower them to become better at what they do.

While job satisfaction may appear to be one of the easiest things that can be provided to employees by the managers, it is not always that sample to fulfill such; however with a self assessment test it does help managers to place employees in the right job and improving their satisfaction. Reason for lack of job satisfaction could be employee being underpaid, the feeling of being under appreciated, inability to grow and the feel of not being respected. “The most important thing managers can to promote employee satisfaction in the workplace is focus on the intrinsic parts of the job, such as making the work more challenging and interesting” (Robbins & Judge, 2011).
Emotional intelligence assessment also helps employees in understanding their emotions and the emotions of others “Emotional intelligence is a measure of someone’s ability to understand emotions of themselves and others” (Science News, 2010). This assessment can make a big difference in the job performance of employees, their co-workers, and increase productivity.

Successful managers are cognizant to the effect of personal characteristics on the performance of the organization overall. The self-assessment test enables the managers to have an insight into the job satisfaction, employee engagement, and employee emotions.
Base on the results, managers will be able to implement better managerial techniques to develop management plans that will encourage employee success.
