LO1: Integrate Personal objectives with Organizational goals

• Personal goals affect how an employee performs. They can

serve as motivation to be more productive and more successful
but it can also cause conflicts between staff or between work and
home.
• Businesses are most successful when employees’ personal
goals are aligned with corporate goals. This can be difficult
to do at times, but it is possible.
• Personal goals should be work-related.
• Finding common ground between these personal goals and your
organizational priorities can be hugely productive.
• The easiest way to do this is to simply ask
employees what they think the team can do to help them reach
their personal goals.
• One of the most effective ways we have to protect ourselves and
others from illness is good personal hygiene.

 LO2: Set and Meet Work Priorities

things that need to be worked on are those that receive your time
and attention and that of your department.
• Priorities have to be established based upon what is best
going to meet your company’s needs.
• Properly determining priorities requires understanding.

 LO3: Maintain Professional Growth and Development

• In rapidly changing environments, both organizations and the people

who make up those organizations must engage in continual growth, or
risk becoming obsolete.
• Professional development helps build and maintain morale of staff
members, and is thought to attract higher quality staff to an organization.
It is a process of improving and increasing capabilities of staff through
access to education and training opportunities in the workplace, through
outside organization, or through watching others perform the job.
• A career, the pursuit of consecutive, progressive achievement
especially in public, professional, or business employment. It is a
personal choice that entails commitment, perseverance, and a
plan. Professional growth in a career requires the continuous
acquisition of knowledge and skills through study, instruction,
investigation, and practice. It is an on-going process.
• Career planning involves visualizing what you want to be doing in
the future within your profession. Career planning enables
professionals to set goals and define specific tasks that must be
accomplished in order to reach those goals. At the same time, career
planning considers options, and alternatives.
