...Every company needs a “signature experience” that sets it apart. By explicitly communicating what makes your firm unique, you can dramatically improve employee engagement and performance. What It Means to Work Here by Tamara J. Erickson and Lynda Gratton IT’S THE HR EQUIVALENT OF KEEPING UP | 104 Harvard Business Review March 2007 | hbr.org Jason Greenberg with the Joneses: In their quest to find and retain top talent, businesses often try to match competitors’ offers, ensuring that their compensation schemes, health care benefits, training programs, and other talent-management practices are in line with the rest of the industry’s. While this strategy may be useful for bringing job candidates to the door, it’s not necessarily the most effective way to usher the right people across the threshold – great employees who will be enthusiastic about their work and fiercely loyal to the organization and its mission. What It Means to Work Here Nor does marching in lockstep with industry standards prompt companies to consider what’s unique about their histories and values or potential employees’ attitudes about work. Certainly, reasonable pay and a breadth of health care options matter to prospective hires, as do the tasks they’ll have to perform. But people also choose jobs–and, more important, become engaged with their work – on the basis of how well their preferences and aspirations mesh with those of the organization. Imagine yours is one of three job...

...The two articles that I have chosen to analyse deal with travel stress among business people and their career options and aspirations. “Executive travel stress: Perils of the road warrior” by Richard S DeFrank, Robert Konopaske, John M Ivancevich focuses on the concept of travel stress at the executive level, including the sources and the potential impact of stress before, during, and after travel. It also offers practical information for both organisations and individuals about how to prevent and deal with executive travel stress (DeFrank, Ivancevich & Konopaske, 2000). Managers have to travel nowadays more than ever before. Due to a fast globalisation process, executives have to be in several different places (i.e. countries, even continents) in a very small period of time. Michael Bonsignore, the CEO of Honeywell, explains that travel brings along not only negative factors such as sleep deprivation, time pressure and delays, unavoidable changes in eating habits but it has also advantages (DeFrank et al, 2000:58). “I learn a hell of a lot more doing this than sitting in my office reading historical information… Today we can’t be making decisions based on historical information because things are changing too fast” (DeFrank et al, 2000:58) said Michael Bonsignore. Apart this, travel represents a very important way for executive to learn new business techniques while travelling and even come up with new product ideas. According to a survey (DeFrank et al, 2000:59) taken in...

...Field Experience #3 A routine is like a schedule, you go through it often in the same order. Like a routine, a ritual follows a specific order, but it does not happen often. Rituals happen on certain occasions such as easter or other holiday. The first day I went to observe the 18 month olds, they were doing an easter party. They had a special schedule for this day that was meant only to be done on their Easter celebration. The next time I went, the teacher had the children back on the regular schedule, which is their daily routine. I observed their daily routine. The teacher started by showing me the schedule, and then explained the reason the schedule was built that way. One routine they did was they danced to music before moving to another...

...Work Experience M3 Strengths At my work placement my strengths were the ability to use my own initiative and I had a great motivation. On the first day I was introduced to the gym and I was told what kind of activities I would do, it included cleaning, tidying up, litter picking and maintenance around the gym. Each day I turned up I knew what I was doing so every morning I grabbed pair of gloves and bin bag and went outside to do my daily litter pick to make sure that the car park was clean, it was my strength as there was no litter about during my stay there. Cleaning was a big part of my duty as there was a lot of dust on the machines and it was visible so I made sure every 2 days that there was no dust on the machines so they remain clean. I paid attention to every possible detail and used my own initiative during boring moments in the gym so I decided to look for any loose objects hanged on to the wall and screwed the screws in as well as cleaning all the trophies and pictures in the gym. Area for improvement I could have improved on organisation because I used to turn up without a note pad and didn’t note down what I could do through the day. I could have also brought a bigger lunch with me because this job was very demanding and required a lot of physical work especially during tidying up the gym including lifting heavy weights and putting them back on the racks. I feel like I should have brought more water and food with me instead of 3 sandwiches. I could have tried...

...conflict in this case is a relationship conflict resulted mainly from a lack in the emotional intelligence from the Greek Team side. The Greek Team who are college students were making demeaning comments against the materials produced by the experienced workers without paying attention to the experienced worker’s feeling. 2. Using the conflict model in Chapter 11, a) identify the structural causes of the conflict There are two causes: I. Differentiation: There is a cultural difference between the young generation “ the Greek Team” and the older workers. The Greek team which are college students considered throwing the comments even if those comments are demeaning comments ,as described in the case, against the older worker’s work will be accepted. II. Communication Problem: The Greek Team members lacked the necessary skills of communication. It was supposed from them to communicate with the older workers diplomatically rather than arrogantly. Unfortunately, The Greek Team’s manner for the way of dealing with the older workers impacted negatively on the overall performance of Tamarack Industry and ultimately it may decrease customers satisfaction level. b) discuss the escalation of the conflict. As a part of the conflict episodes is the conflict escalation and this was shown obviously in our case. However, the conflict escalation passed through different stages. The stages are arranged based on the time of their appearance: • Stage 1: Low morale ...

...Professional Capabilities Assignment The Professional Capabilities Framework developed by the social work reform board and owned by The College of Social Work provides a structure to support the career development of every social worker: from initial social work education, through continuing professional development, towards the role of principal social worker. The framework provides criteria for career progression and opens new career pathways that will allow experienced workers to sustain engagement with the challenges and rewards of practice. Furthermore The PCF applies to all social workers in England (including independent social workers), in all roles and settings and so it is an essential document for all. Professionalism; Professionalism is an integral part of social work it is there for essential that as a social worker I remain committed to my professional development by tracking responsibility for my conduct practice and learning regularly ( BASW Code of ethics 2013). I understand that the professional element of the role is key component of what being a social worker is about and intend to safeguard the reputation by making sure my conduct adheres at all times to the standards set out by the HCPC. I have demonstrated these attributes by undergoing a three day shadowing placement in which I was able to get to grips practically with the nature of the role, whilst simultaneously understanding the importance of maintaining a high level of professionalism...

...01 March 2015 Living the Dream There have been many life experiences which have led me to have a desire to be a social worker. For example, all of my life my parents have taught me the value of helping others. I grew up in atmosphere where the needs of others were put before our own. My family’s example has truly helped me to understand the importance of helping others. As a direct result of this example, for as long as I can remember I have had the desire to work in the social work field helping those truly in need. I first realized this desire when I was 9 years old. At the time my mother would take me to local homeless shelters in Houston to help the poor and unfortunate. During the time there I heard many stories from people on how they ended up in this position. These stories involved issues with drugs, alcohol, and domestic violence as well as victims who suffered from sexual and physical abuse as a child. As I was listing my mind would automatically start conjuring thoughts of solutions that can fix their problem. I could easily empathize with them on a personal level. My passion to help others grew more and more after each story told. Hearing these stories is what inspired me and filled my desire to become a social worker. That’s why I have dedicated myself to doing whatever it takes to make this lifelong dream of mine a reality. I believe that being a social worker requires many special skills that I feel I possess. One of these skills that I feel is important is...

...Social worker duties involve dealing with individual and social problems as well as situation that are, by definition, problematic and complex. A lot of situations in which social workers interfere become ethically complicated. These complications increase when we consider the general societal context and that of agency, and social workers’ professional and personal values. Though social workers’ professional values may be partly compatible with societal values, nonetheless there are some differences in emphasis, priorities and or understanding (Osmo and Landau, 2006). As a social worker making decisions about what to do in cases that feature ethical problems as well as dilemmas integrates our ethical judgements or evaluation of what is right...

Wong (2006 cited in Udebunu, 2011) asserts that multiculturalism appreciates and recognizes, without ignoring or turning blind side to the presence of variety of cultural groups coexisting in a particular society. Rather than conjuring a common identity for widely dispersed groups, multiculturalism...

...area of competency-based supervision is not one that I ever considered until I entered into the field work phase of the MSW program. Even upon entering the program I had not considered nor had I an understanding for what the field work portion would entail and the importance of it. My idea was that I would have an opportunity to gain some practical experience to go along with the education and knowledge I am acquiring while in school. How well the person in charge of me is trained or how in-depth their knowledge is about the practice of social work is was not a consideration. Now, that I am in an agency, in particular one where the person in charge of my supervision does not hold a degree of any kind, I have personal experience with the necessity of competency-based supervision when working in the social services field, particularly social work. Analysis of Supervision The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) have developed Best Practice Standards in Social Work Supervision. The goal of this regulatory board and organization of professional membership task force is to support and strengthen supervision standards for professional social workers. The Best Practice Standards are also to provide a general framework that promotes uniformity and serves as a resource for issues related to supervision in the social work supervisory community (NASW & ASWB, 2013). The Best Practice Standards are not only designed to...
