...Employee Portfolio: Management Plan MGT 311 Employee Portfolio Management As a manager at Riordan Manufacturing, it is the responsibility of management to develop ways to help supervise the employees. Riordan has an extensive employee portfolio management system with files on its employees to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of employees, and allows for reviewing their wide range of activities related to the organizations goals (Portfolio Management, 2013). Three employees were selected to take self-assessments to identify the best ways to manage them. These employees took three assessments labeled, How Satisfied I Am with My Job, What are My Emotional Intelligence Score, and Am I Deliberate Decision Maker assessments. After completion of the assessments an Employee Portfolio was created for each employee. The portfolio is used to make recommendations to help in developing the employees, and their individual characteristics are examined to show how they will benefit the performance of the organization. The three employees selected are Mary Tran, Young-Sook Phin, and Mary Napier. Mary Tran shows a general satisfaction with her job. To increase her job satisfaction to above average, management will need to pursue what exactly is the reason for her decline in performance. The job satisfaction score on the assessment was only average, therefore it is recommended that Mary Tran take the How Are You Feeling Right Now Assessment. This assessment will identify...

Randall and Sam’s results were very similar. However, Bailey’s result were significantly different from Randall and Sam. Bailey J’s Assessment Bailey’s achieving the highest possible result on the “How Satisfied Am I with My Job” assessment shows that she is extremely happy with her job. She also scored higher than average on the “What’s My Affect Intensity” survey. These two result show that she would be a great company ambassador for the new hires. Her positive attitude coupled with outward display of positive emotion will help the new hires become “fired up” about Riordan Manufacturing and their core values. Bailey shows a good aptitude for leading, and she is interested in a move into a management role. Recommendations suggest that she take the “What Is My Leadership Style,” the “How Motivated Am I to Manage,” and “How Good Am I at Building and Leading a Team” assessments. Sam S’s Assessment Sam’s “How Are You Feeling Right Now” assessment score was low, and his “What’s My Affect Intensity” assessment show him to be a level head individual.

These paper-and-pencil tests measure factors such as dependability, carefulness, responsibility, and honesty; they have proven to be powerful predictors of supervisory ratings of job performance and of theft, discipline problems, and excessive absenteeism” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, pg. 1). As a manager for Riordan Manufacturing, three employees took a series of self-assessment tests for my organization. The analysis and interpretation scores of all three are positive and all three would make a great contribution to the organization. Positive people cognitively process more efficiently and are more productive. Job Satisfaction and Engaged High job satisfaction was above the range that determines lower levels of absenteeism, and their general attitude toward work is positive. Their engaged scores were also high, which defines these employees are in a positive state of motivation and fulfillment. “Individuals who score high in this category are loyal, dedicated, willing to devote considerable time to work, feel inspired by and proud of their work, and become immersed and absorbed while performing their work” (Stephen P. Robbins/University of Phoenix, 2005-2009). My employees are content coming to work and will possess good work ethics...

Self-assessments provide valuable feedbacks to managers to identify issues related to personality, and ideal candidates during the hiring process. In fact, “relying on an extensive amount of research, we can make some reasonably well-supported predictions of the relationship between achievement need and job performance” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, p. 3). In Riordan Manufacturing exercise, the analyzed self-assessments revealed intriguing facts about positive employees and their productivity levels. This data can potentially pay dividends towards the overall success of an organization. General attitude often sets a positive path towards high level of job satisfaction. “Job satisfaction would better predict a general behavior, such as whether the individual was engaged in her work or motivated to contribute to her organization” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, p. 112). Thus increasing the overall morale in a workplace and spreading good work ethics from one employee to another. The collected self-assessments depicted high levels of satisfaction when employees felt their managers possessed high levels of competence.

Many changes at work can have major emotional influence on an employee when unexpected (Lancaster, 1998). Things, such as hiring, firing, promotions, demotions, as well as just a change in what area they work in can take effect on them, not including whatever they are feeling outside the company that may be brought in (Lancaster, 1998). After taking a detailed look at the results of the assessments the manager noticed that each person has their strengths and weaknesses that are positive and may need some work. Lamar Fry has many strengths. He is an overall confident person, with great enthusiasm, who believes in himself and the work that he produces for a company. This is a positive for the company because they need individuals who are not scared to work and believe in themselves as well as showing positivity. He is also aware of his surroundings. Caring for people and their emotions as well as being aware of his own shows great empathy for others. Making sure that he is a deliberate thinker is another one of his strong assets.

...Employee Portfolio Management Plan MGT/311 June 02, 2014 Kathy Maas Employee Portfolio Management Plan Job satisfaction is important in any work environment because the more satisfied that the employees are, the more likely that they will stay with the job and provide high quality work. Self-assessments on employees help to find out what characteristics, or traits each one possesses. It is important to know the personality of the employees hired in order to figure out what may motivate them. Three employees were given each a set of self-assessment to take in order for myself to better evaluate the individuals and see how they help our organization with their traits. With the self-assessment given on job satisfaction, all three of the employees were satisfied with their job, two being highly satisfied and one being somewhat satisfied. The individual who was only somewhat satisfied was unhappy in areas of management, freedom to make decisions, and being able to use his skills. This could affect the work performance because of the dissatisfaction. It would be important to sit this individual down and find out what he feels the job is lacking and get his input on how he would like to see improvements. When looking at the emotional intelligence scores of the employees, it was obvious that they each possessed a high level of individual intelligence. This lets me know as the manager that my employees are able to work through stressful situations and also are able to quickly...

The management team not only has to find someone who can perform the requirements of the position successfully, but they must also choose someone who will be a team player, get along well with the other team members, work hard and diligently to complete their assignments and be open minded to new ideas and people.
