chapter 10

Managing Voluntary and Involuntary Turnover is when an employee is being terminated or laid off during downtime or for disciplinary problems that may cause disputes or when an employee leaves the job for another job for better pay or highly expensive to the organization. There are rules and laws that used to to backup employees for termination or employee separation. Some time these are resolved easily if there are alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
ADR is a four stage process that will ease off the disputes and will go in series of processes to iether let go with other benifits for the employee or have behavior changes on the job for the employee to continue on the job. This is why it expensive if this ADR is used.

Chapter 9

Chapter 9-Employees development primarily touched up on ways to develop employees potential needs in oder to progress in their major fields depending on their levels of skills, knowledge and education they have. Their was a section where employees are exposed to different work environment and train them and discipline them to know about the different cultures to add value to the employees. Again these are all important measures for the organization and the employees in oder to for the business to progress in the future.

In small businesses like the one I worked for, we don't have to this as much because everybody that works there is like family. But I always wondered if small companies that are family oriented, how many of them are successful? and they don't have to do such training and don't have to adapt to the new technology that are always imminent and Up-grades that are mandatory. However, the only training we do to gain the knowledge we need in dealing with customers professionally is by going back to school. We also have to do a little training and updates that is mainly for safety issues in the maintenance dept. and health issues within the employees and customers.

chapter 8

Process of Performance Management is a development in measuring the performances the organization have achieved and how much is needed to improve to keep the organization in the right direction and to continue to meet their goals with the right people who are motivated. In addition, it serves its purpose to get to the main objectives and make sure they are met by each employees if not met, their will be consequences based on the circumstances the employees, individually. Last, it is to develop employees with skills and knowledge that are still on the job and it also identifies problem based on those terms, the organization will improve.

Chapter 6

Selection Decisions- after many people that aplied for a job many of them may have aplied for the same position and how will representatives/organizations select the right person for the job. Organizations may look at few things by choosing from a variety of techniques on selecting the right person for the job. I never thought of this that most organizations would have to deal with these kinds of situations of selecting the right person. I never had to do any test for the a job I aplied for but my friends and brothers have taken tests for certain posotions that they aplied for. For an example, when they aplied for welding and there are manny types of welding like pipe fiting, pipe welding and fabrication and there are many others that they have to present and past these tests to be able to get hired for this particular position that they aplied for.

Mondays reflection

Today in class we talked about Selection Process. Selection Process allows people to be put in places that they aplied for the job which will require them to be employed to the organization. In the process of doing so by the company or who does the hiring have to go through a series of steps to evaluate a persons to be hired or turned away. It may not nescesscerily how much a person is qualified but what are some of the questions ask during the interviews or is this person over qualified for the positioned and could it be based on how much information the person presented during the interview?

Feb. 3rd reflection

I thought todays class was a review of chapter 7 and mainly on training and evaluations of employees and the organization. Who does what such as who does the training, the evaluations, how it should be done by a series of processes for it to be effective and most importantly by who. Training can be by people who have enough training experience and must motivate trainees to gain knowledge, skills and the behaviors which are expected as part of the the main objective in individuals and the organization so it can be a successful organization in businesses. Overall, todays lecture and the guess speaker has given me an idea of how an organization performs and how much is accomplished by having trainings and evaluating people and it's organization by implementing effective "processes" planned efforts.

chapter 7

Training Linked to Organizational Needs explains the steps needed to gain knowledge, skills, abilities and the behaviors to meet the demands for the organization. Technology changes fast and employees need to be trained to keep up and it takes a lot of effort and commitment from the employees while the organization implements programs which are part of the criteria's. Diversity is very important especially if minorities are hired and need special training, are their special programs developed in the organization? Training will enable employees to understand the needs to gain and achieve a successful effective organization.

Chapter 5

The Process of Human Resource Planning is quite known in many organizations especially at a start up phase and it deals manly how a business will prepare for operation and as it grows in the near future. Once some of the main criteria's demanded that are met in different departments it may have different outcomes in the labor supply. To adjust in the labor supply more jobs or lay offs are imminent at this stage of the process. Not only that, but may demand more implementations of training and apparatuses for the process to continue to meet the demands intended in the forecast.

Is this why a lot of my friends who worked in the construction business would get laid off after working three months into construction and a new general contractors for erection would take on the next task or process in the construction? Many of my friends will stay on the job and they too will switch gears and their salary may change due to what position they are hired for this next stage.
