TASK 1 - Personal Objectives

Although my inclination towards human resource management was not that strong when I was in my early years of education, my interest in the field grew significantly as a result of experiences in my life later on. It all changed for me last year when I volunteered to work in a hospital named ASDA. As i slowly became acquainted with the work environment, I realized that there was a lot of scope for improvement, particularly in the way the resources of the hospital were being handled. A significant portion of the human resource was literally being squandered since they were assigned duties that either did not match their expertise or which offered them no inceptive of growth. As a result, demotivation was common among the work staff and this affected the quality of service of the hospital. I initiated a program whereby some members of the senior staff were assigned leadership roles so as to motivate them to work efficiently. This was when I realized how a human resource manager could play an important role in properly managing the human resource of an organization and encouraging them to work efficiently. Having realized the potential to manage human resource with efficiency, I opted for this course in order to foster and hone these skills.
