Core Competency Human Resource Management- The student will demonstrate a working understanding of the tools, techniques, and systems that businesses use to plan, staff, lead, and organize its human resources. Course Subject Introduction to Business Last Update November 2013 and May 2014 Rationale I am including Introduction to Business chapter six notes because in this chapter it discusses the nature of management such as managers and human relations. I am including the employee payroll in this reflection because it shows how I figured out how much to make my one employee after looking at the averages in the country and breaking it down by year to month to week. I also included it because it shows that having only one employee, I will be the manager of everything they are just an assistant. Knowledge
From doing the notes for chapter six, I learned that you have to be planning ahead if you are going to be the manager. I learned having the ability to deal with people inside or outside of a business is human relations. An example is when you have to make a decision in employee behavior or any other areas you have to as the manager. The last thing I learned from chapter six is that you have to motivate your employees to the best they can and follow an agenda that you have in place. The ways you can do this is by having flextime or understand how your employee works. From writing the employee payroll, I learned that you have to be fair in pay to your employee or they are not going to be willing to work for you. I also learned you need to figure out what that employee will be doing and how it will be beneficial for the business to have that person. Skills The skills I used for taking notes from chapter six in the Introduction to Business is understand the management levels and what I need to put into my small business plan. I developed the skill to take what I learned from writing notes to transfer it into information I can use for my small business plan. The skills I have gained are research on figuring out how you should pay an employee. I also used the skills I have previously learned from Excel with making formulas to figure out how to break down a year to a month to a week with so many hours at a particular pay. Growth and Improvement Statement
Doing the notes for chapter six I believe I could have improved in my connections I did with my small business plan. An example is when I talk about the management structure in my small business plan I believe I could have related it more to the notes and incorporating more of the words. With the employee payroll, I believe I could have improved it by making the layout better. I feel it was a little sloppy and hard to follow, so I think I could have reorganized it. In both of these projects, I think I could have grown in my understanding of how human management is really displayed in a business and what it really takes to be in this position.
