3.12 SPECIAL CONCEPT

Employee

An employee is someone who gets paid to work for a person or company. Workers don't need
to work full time to be considered employees—they simply need to be paid to work by an
employer (the person or business that pays them).

Empowerment

Empowerment is a set of measures designed to increase the degree of autonomy and self-
determination in people and in communities in order to enable them to represent their interests
in a responsible and self-determined way, acting on their own authority.

Skill

A skill is the ability to perform an action with determined results often within a given amount
of time, energy, or both. Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific
skills

Morale

Morale, also known as esprit de corps, is the capacity of a group's members to maintain belief
in an institution or goal, particularly in the face of opposition or hardship.

Positive Thinking

Positive thinking is an emotional and mental attitude that focuses on the good and expects
results that will benefit you. It’s about anticipating happiness, health and success – essentially,
training yourself to adopt an abundance mindset and cultivate gratitude for your own successes
and those of others.

Learnings

Learning is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviours, skills, values,
attitudes, and preferences. The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals, and some
machines; there is also evidence for some kind of learning in certain plants.
