GETTING SMART WITH PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GOALS
We all aim for professional as well
as personal development in life. For the simple reason that we want the best of
both worlds. Human resources goals and focus on recognition of human capital as
the resource that drives organizational success. Personal goals are more life-related like
love, discipline, faith, strength, self-confidence etc. These are subjective.
You cannot measure these. For example; being a good person, helping someone,
falling in love, travelling etc. Personal goals are more about the journey of self-discovery,
companionship, compassion, freedom etc. More specific human resources goals are
the inclusion of HR leaders in overall business decision-making and the ability
to demonstrate that investment in HR activities and strategy has a tremendous
impact on the company’s bottom line. Here are some Personal and Professional goals you
can consider.

family and future. Some mentionable are; ‘I will respect, love and stay
committed to my spouse’, ‘I will spend quality time with my children every day’,‘I'll
teach my children something worthwhile that will help them in every stage of
their lives’. Measures are set in place to achieve these intended goals in a
long-run.

minutes every day, for peace of mind. Attending church gatherings thrice a week

short run.

encompasses a series of business activities and procedures used to manage the
employees within a business organization. The human resources policies and
procedures typically consist of the expectations that managers expect of their
employees, as well as the benefits and compensation offered to the employees.

managers are the recruitment of employees, employee training and the retention

may make up all or part of an interview committee. When interviewing employees,
they must carefully evaluate each individual's appropriateness as a candidate

goal in many workplaces. Human resources departments may plan diversity-related
training to show employees the benefits of diversity or seek out speakers who

productivity mainly depend on workers efficiency, such determines how high or
low is productivity. Similar to productivity, efficiency refers to your ability
to achieve results in the workplace. Nevertheless, what makes efficiency

difficult; it simply needs to reflect your priorities in life as this is the
only way to ensure that you’ll be passionate about achieving them. The best way
to achieve that is with self-motivation, although you can implement a few of
these strategies as well. "Choosing a goal and
sticking to it changes everything." - Scott Reed
