Characteristics and skills
Question Description: An important aspect of understanding and recognizing effective crisis skills and characteristics is being able to critically reflect on your own working session or the observation of another’s session. This reflection helps you to evaluate which characteristics and skills are present, which you need to develop, and which you need to expand to the next level. As a practitioner, you can make observations of what was successful and unsuccessful in the session and then make adjustments to your own practice. Identifying skills and characteristics that are less effective and reflecting on how to improve them can help you ultimately be more effective in treating survivors of critical incidents.
For this Assignment, complete the interactive media piece titled Crisis Counseling Competence, Part 1. View the media segment Crisis Counseling Competence, Part 2. Think about how ineffective crisis treatment techniques can negatively affect a client. Select three examples of actions the practitioner could have/should have done differently and consider why you chose each.
Traditional individual outcomes
Traditional individual outcomes expected of a personnel selection process might include increasing desired levels of work performance, job satisfaction, and employee morale. On an organizational level, expectations may relate more to acceptable levels of productivity, low turnover, and promotion of organizational citizenship behavior. Often, there is greater focus by human resource activities on expected individual outcomes and not those needed by the organization. It is important to assess and foster solid outcomes for both the individual employee as well as the organizational employer (Wilk & Cappelli, 2003).
Post by Day 4 explanations of three outcomes an organization might expect from its personnel selection processes. Explain whether these outcomes are consistent with those desired by job candidates, and provide rationale for any inconsistencies.
