Part II: Major Professional Organizations (ASD)

In my positions over the past 14 years, I have proven to be a successful educator, team member, change agent, and leader. I approach every

The assignment for this week focuses on the team’s understanding of the goals and objectives of training program development and delivery. Team C summarizes the following highlights of this week’s discussions: determining organizational development theories and applications; differentiating between mentoring and executive coaching; identifying the major components of employee training; and comparing career development strategies.

When I started working for Vanguard in August 2016, my career goals primarily consisted of improving myself and furthering my career in finance. However, my career goals started to change soon after I began working in the Service Recovery department. My current role as a Resolution Services Associate has helped me to discover the satisfaction that I get when I am able to resolve a client’s issue(s). The career goals that I came into Vanguard with have matured into improving myself so that I can make a significant impact on the clients that I serve, the company that I work for, and the family that supports me. Because of my limited work experience, I see the Vanguard Accelerated Development Program (VADP) as my best chance at personal and

The purpose of the NCDA is to “promote the career development of all people over the life span” (NCDA, 2015).

The inconsiderateness of the clinic for my father’s injury only further fueled me to research and contact many lawyers to find the best one to represent my father. I continued to lead my father through this new and unfamiliar situation. I further developed my researching and inquiry skills to uncover resources and opportunities for the benefit of peers as myself. Bright prospect is a program aimed to empower students to gain admission, and graduate from universities. Currently, I’m the crew leader of my Bright Prospects team. Many of my crew members were unaware of the benefits and opportunities offered by their community. One of my crew member wants to pursue a career as a firefighter, but was confused about how prepare. I led him to ask around Pomona City Hall and introduced my crew member to various internships opportunities within and around our hometown. Because I pursued a positive change in myself, my family, and my peers, I took the initiative to find organizations in which I could take on leadership roles. I continue develop my leadership skills to persuade others to be active in communities and to seek opportunities to achieve their personal

With the constant changes and developments in the workforce, people need to enhance their career roles. The University of Phoenix uses that fact to persuade people to enroll in classes. They use ads and phrases that make you reevaluate your current situation.

The lessons I have learned from serving as a cheerleading director and creating a new cheerleading program will certainly help me in the future. Not only can I use this in my personal life, but also in my professional life. For instance, these skills would be helpful for any club or business that relies on recruitment and or retention strategies as a way to draw in their members. My experience with questionnaires and advertising will help me, because I can determine the needs of future participates and increase the accessibility of a variety of programs. What I have learned will make me valuable for business that is looking for someone to help them increase their participation and grow their company through the use of flyers and information booths. I will be able to teach another program director how to use questionnaire results to form strategies that will make their program grow.

Furthermore, volunteers who participated in this initiative were given incentives also pushed a desire to do the best. “Employee volunteers were told that their commitment to the program would ultimately help all workers enhance their long-term career opportunities at Walgreens; generating great interest among employees, and the company quickly identified the appropriate number if volunteers to kick off the initiative” (Jackson, Mathis, & Valentine, 2014, p. 328). In addition to the kickbacks given to volunteers, these employees also benefitted by being able to control their own career prospects at Walgreens. It was necessary to rely on employee blueprints to enhance career management in the company because it “identified possible employment paths that operated through a variety of career tracks; provided the proper training activities and enhancement opportunities that facilitate the accomplishment of career goals; and positioned the company as a desirable employer” (Jackson, et al., 2014, p.

Now that I am settling into my first year at Central, I have a much more professional approach to my training, and I am working hard to push myself in all classes, as the prospect of company auditions looms ever closer. My main aims

A strategic management program is imperative for any successful business in today’s company environment. Organizations are willing to spend not only time, but also invest millions of dollars in the talent management programs because of the obvious benefits the programs create such as employment engagement, customer satisfaction, absenteeism, turnover, employee loyalty, and union avoidance. Talent management programs consists of many critical components that when organized properly foster a setting of continuous growth and success. These components of an effective program include: 1. Onboarding 2. Training and development 3. Performance management 4. Employee engagement 5. Succession planning 6. Mentorship 7.Work Life/Balance 8. Offboarding. Organizations must ensure that they have the human resources capabilities readily available to meet the current and future requirements of an ever changing demand. Therefore, having a strong talent management program is critical and incorporating each of these components will ensure that the talent management program is successful.

Talent acquisition, retention and development is becoming into the range as one of the most critical elements of Human Resource Management. For years, companies have struggled to capture market share through economization and downsizing, while growth had seemed to take a backseat. New technology and tools are now available to address attracting, developing and retaining talent.

In October 1, 2013, BMO was recognized as the only Canadian Bank to receive the ASTD BEST Award (American Society for Training and Development’s) for demonstrating strong commitment to training and development programs. Incorporating programs that can help employees improve and work toward their personal career goals promote job satisfaction in the workplace. These programs, when proven to be effective can be useful in making employees perform more efficiently. It can also be helpful in enhancing their skills and in optimizing potential future growth and developmental opportunities. With this they can achieve high performance and personal satisfaction at every stage of their career. They can gain more knowledge and have more confidence in performing

Throughout the course of my workplace practices class I have participated in a consisted of completing assignments and work experience regarding my career pathways. As I look back and reflect on my time at this course, I am able to explore the graduate qualities and capabilities I have achieved over the duration of this study period, as well as the skills and abilities I need to improve on. Graduate qualities are skills that have been learned by students throughout the course of their schooling life, for example, it is a learning outcome of a program specifically stating the things that's been learned by students who have completed that program of study. In this reflection, I will be discussing about my strength and weakness personal

~ I would attribute my professional successes this year to management coaching and/or mentorship from Adam Alonso. He has shown great discernment with inviting me to the table where ideas for new programing are explored and conversations on how to expand and improve OST programs are discussed. He has supported the expansion of my leadership capacity in new areas and challenged me to go even further beyond my most elaborate

Through my work experience, I have had the opportunity to think creatively, learn the importance of team work, develop leadership skills, and cultivate, all preparing me for graduate studies. As a supplement to
