Feedback

While discussing feedback in class on Wednesday, I was reminded of some of the feedback I have received in the workplace. When I worked at Taco Bell, we had an employee program called CHAMPS. Whenever an employee made an effort to complete a difficult job, the manager would give them a Champs card for their effort. The employee with the most cards at the end of the week was the "Champ of the week". Although this program was based soley on positive feedback, it helped some employees realize they weren't always doing what was expected of them. It also encouraged other employees to work harder. Basically, feedback doesn't always have to be negative to be effective.

HR Simulation Report

As the HR simulation is just beginning to start, I am already pleased with the progress our team has made so far. We have had two productive meetings as of October 2, and we are meeting our deadlines. We have successfully assigned each team member roles that fit their learning styles, and as an Accounting major, I am pleased that I am in charge of our budget. We have successfully prepared our budget for the first quarter well in advanced, and we are pleased that our budget reflects the strategy we are trying to follow. While it seems that this simulation will require a great deal of time to complete, I am starting to see the simulation as a great project, and a great learning experience.
