...Mentoring and Coaching. Many FE institutions and Initial Teacher Training programmes now include mentoring and coaching support as part of their provision. The purpose of this review is to firstly establish a clear definition of the term mentor and coach, and ask why it might be important to establish a shared understanding of the terms. Secondly, to ascertain why mentoring and coaching has become so popular within further education. Thirdly, to identify how to best implement mentoring and coaching schemes into further educational settings, and finally to develop criteria to critically analyse the mentoring policy and procedures of one further education college and my own practice. Definition. Establishing a clear definition of the term mentor and coach from the literature reviewed is not a simple task; opinions differ depending on the context in which mentoring takes place and the individual perceptions of those involved. Adding to this confusion is the way the literature often uses the terminology of mentoring and coaching interchangeable with little or no agreement on their meaning. (Brockbank and Mcgill, 2006 p8) This may explain why there are so many different approaches to mentoring practice and why the concept of mentoring has altered over time. (Woodd, 1997, p4) One way the literature attempts to distinguish between the terminology of mentoring and coaching is by placing mentoring and coaching at opposite ends of a person/task focused continuum. With coaching...

...Critically evaluate the usefulness of definitions of Human Resource Management in understanding the Hospitality Industry Human Resource Management (HRM) has been placed, at least in terms of prescriptive theory, above all the other primary activities of a business and the importance of HRM to businesses in general has been argued to be central and fundamental in order to better enable their business activities and for the fulfilment of their business objectives. In discussing the Resources, Competences and Strategic Capability of Businesses, Johnson and Scholes (1997, Ch 4, p147), say of HRM - “This is a particularly important area which transcends all primary activities. It is concerned with those activities involved in recruiting, managing, training, developing and rewarding people within the organisation”. Others have found evidence that HRM practices can significantly improve a firms performance and for example Dessler (2000 p18) cites research which claims as much as 30% differences (improvements) in financial performance which were attributed to differences in HR practices in banks. He continues to note a study (p 19) which identifies that in 97 metalwork manufacturing plants “Similar evidence of the HR-Performance link has been found”. Elsewhere, as Redman and Wilkinson, Editors (2001 Ch 1, p10) point out, Strategic Human Resource management (SHRM) theory holds that “an organisation’s human resource assets are potentially the sole source of sustainable competitive...

... There are different leadership training programs but the effectiveness of a training program, the degree of developmental experience and self-help activities also depends on the organizational conditions (Yukl, 2013 ). What are the facilitation conditions? 1. Support by the boss The role of the leader in the organization and his/her role in facilitating leadership skills development is well documented by researchers such as Hillman, Schwandt & Bartz, 1990; London & Mone 1987 & Valerio 1990. Bosses need to treat mistakes as learning experience and provide mentoring and coaching to subordinates. Support is also important before and after training. 2. Learning climate Yukl talk about creating a learning climate by making flexible job assignments to allow learning and development, flexible work schedule to allow time to experiment with new methods, financial support, arrange workshops and skilled speakers, establish sabbatical program, career counseling program, voluntary skill assessment, pay increase dependent of development, awards for innovation and improvements and use of symbols and slogans. However these conditions require a budget and flexibility in labor and payment laws. 3. System perspective on leadership development The training program and development activities needs to be aligned and must focus not only on the current position and skills needed but also on future positions. The choice of training should be made after strategic analysis...

...special education, training, or skill” . The main difference is some form of special education and training is required to be considered a profession and those same requirements are not necessary in order to have a job. For example, there is a hotdog vendor that sells hotdogs on the corner of a busy downtown street. No special education or training is required to do this job; conversely an architect designs buildings in that same downtown. The architect is required to have special education and usually attends other training throughout their career. To further clarify this point, one could go to the architect to buy a hotdog, but one would not seek out that hotdog vendor to design a building. Based on these definitions, the Army is a “Profession”. When a Soldier starts out in the Army, the individual attends what is the initial entry training that is where they start their special education and training. They learn basic soldiering skills along with learning the Army values and ethics. The Soldiers then continues their special education and training by completing advanced initial training. This usually consists of specialized training in the area of their Military Occupational Specialty which is the main job they will do while in the Army. While these two different types of training are completed early in their Army career, their education and training does not conclude at that point. As the Soldier continues their career, they must attend other training that requires...

...audit can serve any of the following purposes: · · · · · · To clarify desired practices of HR work and roles within the organization (HR Department, Line Managers). To establish a baseline for future improvement. To evaluate current effectiveness. To standardize practices across multiple sites within a division or company. To assess current knowledge and skills required of HR practitioners. To improve performance levels to key customers within the organization. The Audit Process Step One--Defining Audit Statements Definition of desired HR practices can occur through in a variety of ways. A good starting point is to take some time and reflect on the legal requirements and programs that the department must administer. Simply listing them is a good first step. Next, consider your areas of responsibility and traditional HR practices covered by your function: They may include HR Planning, Staffing, Performance Management, Employee Relations, Compensation and Benefits, Training and Development, Safety and Wellness, Employee Surveys, and Communications. Finally, other areas to consider are company initiatives that the HR function may be required to support, i.e. internal...

...Coyle studies talent - what it is, the reason for it and its role in success. He visitsnine places that he considers talent hot-beds so as to observe talented people. He calls these places “the chicken - wire Havards” because they produce huge amounts of talents despite being small andhumble (p. 11).He begins with the definition of talent a s “the possession of repeatable skills that don’t dependon physical size” (p. 11, footnote). The objective of the first chapter is to prove to its readers thatdeep-practicing is the way skills are gained and show how this process contributed to the success of those who were trained through it. One of the concepts involved in this process is the sweet spot, andit is defined by Robert Bjork as the “optimal gap between what you know and what you’re trying todo.” (p. 19). “Deep practice” is the art of increasing learning velocity by “struggling in certain targeted ways – operating at the edges of your ability where you make mistakes ….” (p. 15). To understandhow this comes to play in training, the writer uses the examples of Brazilian soccer players and Edwin Link’s device for training pilots where “training in a particular way with a particular tool thatimproves skills” led to success.

...University College IFSM201 Section 7974 Semester 1309 Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Data Breaches Knowing and training on personally identifiable information (PII) is important in today’s society. There has been research on data breaches and identity theft that links them both together. This is to help personnel have a clear understanding on the impact of what is at steak and an explanation of PII. Many businesses and organizations have different definition for PII because of the classification of data for each, and that is why understanding PII is important. Examples of PII include, but are not limited to the following: full name, maiden name, mother‘s maiden name, or alias; personal identification number, social security number (SSN), passport number, driver‘s license number, taxpayer identification number, or financial account or credit card number; address information, street address or email address; personal characteristics, including photographic image, fingerprints, handwriting, or other biometric data. How do you protect PII? Who has access to PII? Who are affected by data breaches and identity theft? How to prevent data breaches and identity theft? The research introduced in this essay is from Verizon along with multiple articles involving military and organizations. PII is defined definitely by military and organizations. Training along with knowing ways to prevent data breaches and identity theft helps today’s society protect PII. So what is PII? The...

...sides of a discussion. Critical thinking is, in essence, the analysis, synthesis and evaluation of one’s experience, as it relates to the worth of the discussion at hand. The authors define critical thinking as, “the awareness of a set of interrelated critical questions, the ability to ask and answer critical questions in an appropriate manner; and the desire to actively use the critical questions” (p. 4). This paper will evaluate the nature of critical thinking as an intellectual process and apply that to the memorandum date October 10, 2012 to Cynthia Castle from Anil Ravaswami to determine if the issue stated of whether the CEO of the company, Cliffside Holding Company of Massapequa (CHCM) should invest $100,000 per year in leadership training program for junior insurance executives. Browne and Keeley (2010) make it clear that a critical evaluation cannot be done until the conclusion is found and instructs the critical thinker to find this by asking “What is the writer or speaker trying to prove”, and defines a conclusion as “inferred”, that is, derived from reasoning (p.26). DISCUSSION The 10 steps of the critical thinking model as discussed by Brown and Keeley (2010) include the following: 1. “What are the issues and the conclusions? 2. What are the reasons? 3. What words or phrases are...

...Mohamed Abd el Rahman Afify Egifix Medical GDGB15 Workplace violence 1. Definitions of work place violence There is No single, uniform definition for workplace violence so far exists. Different relevant institutions and researchers have suggested several definitions and classifications. The terms used also differ. 1.1. The World Health Organisation (WHO) uses a broader definition and defines workplace violence as ‘intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person or against a group or community that either results in, or has a high likelihood of resulting in, injury, death, psychological harm, wrong development or deprivation’. 1. ------------------------------------------------- Justification of the Definition * Violence is intentional; the definition excludes unintentional incidents. * Violence is related to the health or well-being of individuals. According to WHO, certain behaviours may be regarded by some people as acceptable cultural practices, but are considered violent acts with important health implications for the individual. * It includes acts arising out of power relations, including threats and intimidation. * It opens the field of the consequences of violence to results that transcend damage and death and include psychological harm, deprivation and wrong development. * The definition implicitly includes all acts of violence, public and private, reactive or proactive...

...and manage them. Human resource management is the utilization of employees to achieve the organization goals, it can be very critical because the managers reach the company’s objective through those employees. Human resource management is always linked to the term “art and science” because human resource management is considered as the art of managing employees and people by using creative and innovative approaches, and science because of the application of the theory that is required. The definition of Human resource management can be broken down into two definitions * The process of managing people according to the organization structures and goal * Human resource management encompasses managing employees from a macro perspective within the organization which includes * Collective relation between management and employees * The objective and outcomes of human recourse functions * Encouraging employees ideas and participation * Concluding both definitions * Personnel management is essentially “workforce centered” * Human resource management is essentially “resource centered”. (Managementstudyguide, 2013) The organization needs both the workforce and the resource to achieve the company goals and objective. In order to do that the company needs a strong Human recourse division to perform the basic function in order to keep the organization on track. Human recourse functions: * Staffing: breaks down into recruitment which...
