HR and Development
10: Coaching & Performance Management
HR plays a critical role in people’s management as part of the organizational resources. The management incorporates recruitment, employing, coordination and proposal of workers training and development approaches (ASUGtv, 2013). Organizational development is the functions of supporting organizational efficiency by supporting structural, cultural as well as strategic collaboration to respond to the necessities of the evolving business world. Leadership style, reward system, and work structure are the main factors that influence employee’s motivation in the workplace. With proper leadership, the needs of motivation are well accounted. Career management and development play a critical role in developing the focus of the organization and increasing its ability to position itself competitively. Besides, this is beneficial for individuals in career growth. Training is an initiative that assists workers in learning specified skills that leads to improved performance while development is broad and is centered on the growth of workers and future roles. Many people in the world today view diversity regarding race and ethnicity, but diversity is more than this because it also involves gender age and even religion. Thus, HRD helps in facilitating HR is the one that creates changes and encourages it by communicating to the employees. EAPs have intended work based initiatives that provide free and close assessment and short-run counseling and follow-ups to those with work-related or personal issues.
While engaging in coaching conversations my experience was quite unique and fascinating. I found the activity as very useful since effective coaching conversations fosters authoritative employee engagement. Clarity, effective communication and compassion were all present. In that all the objectives of the program were well listed and demonstrated. However, the lack of confidence and commitment when giving feedback might have affected the conversation. In that confidence is essential in motivating the involved workers.
11: Discussion Forum - Team Building
Team building refers to the collective phrase for varying kinds of activities utilized to improve social relationships and describe individual’s responsibilities in the teams. Team building is a necessity for any business that seeks to increase its productivity, motivation, creativity, communication and collaboration. Such aspects are necessary as they assist the organization in meeting the set objectives in general. Even in a new location team building for committed workers within the marketing and operative sectors are needed. In this context, it is only those with the most enhanced skills that will be transferred and laying off the less qualified might raise legal issues. The employees can be sourced from within the company or outside while focusing on a reward system to attract talents from the market. As the HR collaborator and team builder I have learned that successful teams are the ones that consistently focus on the needs of the workers to motivate them. A motivated workforce is associated with high levels of productivity (Pink, 2009). This therefore opposes my prior notion that team building is easy and this can be applied in learning to focus on higher performance.
