今天文章:Intimidating Bosses Can Change — They Just Need a Nudge
今天文章主要在說明,要怎麼改變Intimidating的老闆或主管們!
開頭首先介紹「惡霸老闆」是不是真的可以促進員工努力與上進呢?
答案是:『在很短的時間內會。』
這句是作者給的結論:
Apparently, the short-lived, seemingly functional effects yielded by managers’ abusiveness incur substantial long-term costs of organizations.
之後,作者提出三個方法去改善惡霸老闆的行為:
1. Process-Oriented Leadership Evaluation Programs
主要把評比重點放在過程,而非最後的數字。
2. Situation-Based Leadership Training Programs.
例如,做a leadership self-reflection exercise:
先讓主管寫出自己覺得是偏向霸凌的處理方式的事件,
然後在寫出三個自己覺得更好的處理方式,
最後跟夥伴交換再說出對方三個更好的處理方式。
3. Employee Self-Shielding Programs.
組成一個受害者聯盟,利用討論惡霸主管行為,來防止之後的霸凌
(很好奇這在台灣有可能會發生嗎?)
個人心得:
以前,常常聽到老師們說『嚴師出高徒』、『虎父無犬子』,
好像是越嚴厲或兇狠的教導就可以馴化出最厲害的人。
但是,如果技能方面做到最強,
心靈健康層面卻沒有照顧到呢?
或許每個人定義『成功』的方式不同,
對我而言,
與其用很嚴厲或toxic的方式要求,
不如讓我挖掘內心真正想要的東西,
我就會不顧一切的去做了。
今天單字要跟大家分享這個貫穿全文的單字『Nudge』
我實在不知道這個中文要怎麼翻比較好,
他應用了「輕推:to touch or push gently」的意象,
所以也有approach跟urge into action的意思,
給大家幾個例句(From Merriam Webster):
… have been nudged into starting their own ventures …— Janet Bamford
its circulation is nudging the four million mark— Bennett Cerf
… nudged the cue ball with the tip of the cue.— Paul Theroux
大家可以猜猜看個別是什麼意思!
至於內文的『nudge』出現得實在太過頻繁,就讓大家細細閱讀拉~

employee training中文 在 陳星合 Facebook 的最佳解答
麻煩大家幫忙
留下優秀的一家人
他們來自波多黎各
父母親都是名校約翰霍普金大學的電腦碩士
(Master Degree in Computer Science - Johns Hopkins University at Laurel, MD)
他們著五個孩子,到全世界學習
Diego 17歲 Paula 13 歲 Alonzo 12 歲
Felizi 8 歲 Matteo 6 歲
八月,他們到了台灣
發覺這是一個非常適合的生活環境
有好的醫療、中文學習環境、電腦產業、和超好吃的水果
九月,Diego , Paula, Alonzo進入惠文高中寄讀
他們來了之後,學校形成一個很棒的英語學習情境
台灣學生都被迫用英文跟他們互動
星期五與台北歌德學院簽訂德國「PASCH夥伴學校」時
他們三個和學校弦樂社一起合奏卡農(見影片)
非常非常有教養的一家人
然而他們11月就必須離開台灣
因為他們來台灣的第五天
得到美國總公司的通知
他們收掉波多黎各的公司
爸爸Tommy失業了
所以這幾天,他在台中接一個英文家教
但經濟仍是問題
如果台中的朋友可以提供11月4日前的短期英文、西班牙文家教工作
或是提供長期電腦工程師的工作
麻煩和Tommy聯絡
以下是他的聯絡方式及完整資歷
(願意幫他們申請工作簽證更好)
他們很願意把台灣當成第二個家
PS
覺得政府說要把英文變成第二語言
最棒的方式是吸引國外的學生進入我們的校園
在人才即國力的年代
讓優秀的國際人才留在台灣
如果在台灣就有很好的英語學習環境
我們就不用一窩蜂跑到國外

Mr. Irizarry developed a web based application for the State Home Per Diem Office, which manages millions of dollars in payments to the state homes, to replace an Access database. The Access database was converted to MS SQL Server database and all data was migrated successfully. He created a web based interface using the standard VA intranet look and feel. He also developed a custom interface for each of the 3 roles (CBO, VAMC and VISN). Tools were built for the administrator to view current reports, view missing reports lists, and configure many parameters in the application. The VAMC report form was heavily automated using jQuery to perform auto calculations, increasing data validation and saving time to the users. After the application was launched users commented frequently about how user friendly is the new interface and about the time savings. Tasks that will take 2 hours to be completed now take 15 minutes. We have close to 12,000 reports in the system.

After one of the VA’s laptops was stolen Mr. Irizarry worked to develop a Risk Assessment web based application. He created an Excel template which management will upload to an FTP server with information and details about remote employee access and the sensibility of the data accessed by those users. He also created VB Scripts to validate those Excel files an upload that information into an MS SQL database. Reports for upper management in Central Office were then created which prompted management to enforce stronger security measures, like hard drives encryption. In total more than 500,000 records were processed for the reports.

employee training中文 在 大英國辦公室小職員 Facebook 的最讚貼文
[辦公室生活] 到Google辦公室Away Day
今天是部門一年兩次的Away Day 團隊外出日,這次借用Google辦公室舉行。
Away day之前思索很久,該怎麼翻成中文,還問朋友,名字意思是一個團體不進辦公室,集體外出。
做什麼?不只是訓練(不然稱Training就好),也不是Outing 小旅遊/郊遊
Away day的形式,通常融合了半輕鬆半正式的討論公事,再加上一些促進團隊默契跟交流的活動。
我們部門的形式,都是上午各組提簡報,分享它們的計畫,下午是團體活動,活動結束後,就是喝酒喝飲料,公司買單。
團體活動項目多種,有go karting開賽車🏁、滑雪場滑雪坐板、大型充氣城堡挑戰賽(老闆當年不知道怎麼凹到預算的)、做壽司🍣、打壘球⚾️、密室逃脫(我一點clue都沒有只能裝忙)
這次來Google辦,也是第n次來,因為場地用借的,省錢啦。
Google在倫敦有四個辦公室,今天的地點算是早期就有了
我覺得維護的很厲害,沒有因為幾十年的使用就折損很多。
當然你想得出來的色系、傢俱、設備、飲食....通通有啦。當然很貪心的一直吃零食,喝不同種類的飲料☕️🍵
全部門同事在休息時間「搜刮」谷歌員工的零食櫃,快通通吃光了!
I like the fact we (70 people) almost clear out all sweets and snacks from one of the employee refill zone.
早上通勤時間的地鐵🚇人很多,但存在著一股安靜的詭異感覺,大家默默地還沒醒去上班💼
我一出Victoria station,迎面而來的是新穎玻璃大樓,頓失方向感!走到John Lewis百貨公司總部去了!繞了好久才看到熟悉的舊舊的Victoria Train Station. 找回方向感!對於一向對方向感自豪的我,真的覺得太久沒來這區啦
