...Employee Portfolio: Management Plan Barbara Mozley February 17, 2014 MGT/311 Organizational Development Steve Broe Employee Portfolio: Management Plan In this summary I will discuss how the series of self-assessments results employees had taken to aid myself in how to manage the employee’s better. With the assessments I have received back from the employee’s, I need to create an Employee Portfolio for each of the employees to help guide in developing ways to best manage them. How might these three employees characteristics affect the performance of the organization and are there any recommendations for additional assessments[?] All in all I believe these three employees’ characteristics have a positive effect on the performance of the organization and are self-motivated, self-actualized employee, and the employee who needs close supervision is when management can provide an environment in which the employee’s enjoy what they do and feel like they have a purpose and have pride in their work. One thing I did notice though is that management does need to help the workers to develop skills for better work performance as well as to be able to advance in the company. Also management needs to give employee's a clear sense of direction of what their job scope is and have a clear picture of what work needs to been done. Management needs to...

...Employee Portfolio Management Plan Jesselyn Boone 07/16/2012 MGT/311 Gary Connelly Employee Portfolio Management Plan This paper will discuss the results of self-assessments, as well as the employee portfolio management plan. It will also discuss how these three employees’ characteristics might affect the performance of the organization and any recommendations that might be considered for additional assessments. Doing the employee portfolio plan, really explained how happy an employee is with their job. It also pointed out how they can improve themselves as an individual, but more as a good employee for any company or business. The characteristics of each employee interviewed varied upon their feelings about their job as well as their ability at their job. When doing each of these individuals employee assessment I noticed some of them to be lazy and not content with their job and other’s that were very motivated and dedicated workers but weren’t getting the praise they deserved as employees. For instance when I did Jody Webb’s assessment I noticed that she is satisfied with her job, a motivated worker, but she doesn’t make smart decisions. Jody tends to make quick decisions without even thinking first of the consequences or the outcome of the situation. This can be bad for a company if their ideal goal is to make good decisions. Coley Boone’s assessment was little different, as he seems like an excellent employee, he is a hard worker, dedicated to his job, but like Jody wasn’t...

...Employee Portfolio: Motivation Plan of Action Summary MGT/311 Employee Portfolio: Motivation Plan of Action Summary Motivation plays an important role when it pertains to professional development in employees. The management team at Riordan Manufacturing is currently in week three of an assessment period of three employees. The purpose of these assessments has been to try to understand the employees’ state of emotion, characteristic traits, and job engagement. Week three focuses on motivational techniques and a plan of action that is specifically designed for each employee evaluated based on the employee self-assessment survey taken two weeks earlier. Personality Traits It has been documented in these assessments that just because an employee is unhappy with his or her current job state do not necessarily mean that he or she does not show a sense of pride in the work to be completed. Laura, for example displayed dissatisfaction with her current job state and the wages, but given a task to complete, this employee dedicates a great deal of her time to ensure that the project is completed in detail as well as on time. Linda is a devoted employee who shows management that she is a self-starter and often completes tasks without requiring direction to do so. The issue management has with this is often the task gets started and completed without added guidance if needed. Olivia, though improving, has shown supervisors contempt toward...

...Associate Level Material Appendix H Business Writing Portfolio XCOM/285 Essentials of Managerial Communication University of Phoenix Reflection During this course XCOM/285 Essentials of Managerial Communication I have learned many new tools that I really never paid attention to before. I have been working in an office for ten years now and I realized that when we hear the work communication we automatically think about a phone conversation, email between people, or just a meeting in person. Taking this class has really opened up my eyes and that communication is really not only about how you feel about something and the way that you communicate it is the way that you can listen and read what other people are actually telling you. Since taking this class I have made it a strong point to make sure I am really paying attention to what the other person has to say. Whether it is on the phone, through emails or in person, I make it a point that I fully understand what the reciprocator is saying and what they really want. Once I really pay attention to this I am able to communicate back and once this happens we will be able to carry on good communication. I have also noticed that if I have any questions I know that the only way I will be able to understand is to ask the questions that I need to ask an order to full understand what is needed or wanted from me.

...Crunch of 2007: What Went Wrong? Why? What Lessons Can Be Learned? First draft: September 2008 This draft: May 2009 John C. Hull* Joseph L. Rotman School of Management University of Toronto Abstract This paper explains the events leading to the credit crisis that began in 2007 and the products that were created from residential mortgages. It explains the multiple levels of securitization that were involved. It argues that the inappropriate incentives led to a short‐term focus in the decision making of traders and a failure to evaluate the risks being taken. The products that were created lacked transparency with the payoffs from one product depending on the performance of many other products. Market participants relied on the AAA ratings assigned to products without evaluating the models used by rating agencies. The paper considers the steps that can be taken by financial institutions and their regulators to avoid similar crises in the future. It suggests that companies should be required to retain some of the risk in each instrument that is created when credit risk is transferred. The compensation plans within financial institutions should be changed so that they have a longer term focus. Collateralization through either clearinghouses or two‐way collateralization agreements should become mandatory. Risk management should involve more managerial judgment and rely less on the mechanistic application of value‐at‐risk models. *e-mail: hull@rotman.utoronto.ca. I...

...changing investment opportunities, unpredictable labor income, habit formation, and transaction costs. And at the same time, scientific studies of actual financial behavior have revealed that people consistently make certain mistakes because of lack of knowledge, faulty logic, cognitive dissonance, and biased statistics. The new science of finance has had a profound impact on the practice of institutional risk management.1 Sophisticated enterprisewide risk-management systems are widely used today by financial service firms and a growing number of nonfinancial companies (DeLoach 2000). In comparison, applications of this new science to the important life-cycle issues households face have been limited.
