HRM 540 week 5

The final week! I have enjoyed this class! I love learning things I can actually apply and use to my daily routines.

I never thought of using the KWL chart with my staff until I was completing it tonight. I have a variety of levels of employees from 90 days to 7 years. This chart will help me work with my rookies to my seasoned staff. I can then cater their training according to what they may feel their need are.

This week I also reflected on training leaders. I am relating it to training my staff, but not all under the same umbrella. They are going to have some group training and some individual training. I want my members that are doing exceptional work to be trained to the next level.

I traveled to another location this week helping their admissions team. They do not have a  Director of Admissions. I asked the president how come no one was being promoted. She shared that no one had the leadership skills. This saddened me because there is great talent on this team. Shame on the previous director for not cultivating his team for the next level.

My exciting moment came when the president introduced me to the candidate she is interested in hiring. He was a rep I hired in the business over ten years ago. I coached and trained him. He told her I was the reason he had been successful! This was a proud moment for me. This also made me realize how important training and cultivating employees for the next level can help your company succeed!

It's been a great class, now I have to finish strong!
