Post I
As a government employee, sometimes knowing what is expected of
you can be a bit blurry. Some employees work very hard and never
seem to have enough time in the day, while others never seem to do
anything. For the most part I know that I am expected to be at work
on time, on my assigned days, and perform the duties of my job
professionally.
I feel like the top five expectations of my job are:
1. Being on time for work, if not early.
2. Be prepared for the day by performing my duties
professionally.
3. Help others when needed.
4. Be a part of the team
5. Respect all coworkers, especially those in management
positions.
All of these are important in the day-to-day functions of my
job. If any of them were not performed, my coworkers could feel an
impact. Also, my managers could not meet goals and timelines if I
did not perform my duties on time or correctly. Ultimately, as a
government employee, the country would suffer, because the tax
payers are paying my salary. If I do not perform my duties, I would
be committing fraud against all the taxpayers in this great
country.
The best way for communication at my job is semi-annual and
annual evaluations. It is an opportunity for me to pass on to my
leadership what I expect from them, and it is a way for them to
pass the same back to me. My evaluations point out the positive
things I am doing at work and list the areas I could improve upon.
I have an office of about 10 employees which are Facility
Management Specialist. In other words, they are directly
responsible for the upkeep and maintenance performed on over 1000
buildings and structures on the installation. The picture of
excellence in our office is my supervisor. He is by far the go-to
person in the office. He has performed the job for years and has
seen every situation. When there is an issue of any kind, he is the
one with the answer. He is the example we all strive to
emulate.
Post II
I know what is expected of me at work based on the written job
description of my position as well as the discussion I had with my
supervisor during the initial interview. There are also unwritten,
implied expectations of me on the job. I was not verbally briefed
on these expectations, however,based on the office culture, I have
figured lots of things out through my keen observation.
I work in the health care field. I am expected to perform
well in many areas, including: 1)ability to communicate effectively
2) punctuality 3) ensure each employee meets weekly productivty
requirements 4) maintain a clear understanding of medical
terminology as it evolves 5) strict adherence to the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). If I do not
meet these expectations, my patients are directly affected. They do
not receive timely care. When patients do not recieve timely
care,my company also suffers because I have failed to uphold the
company standard of always putting the patient first. My colleagues
are also affected because when I don’t perform as expected, their
job becomes more difficult.
The best way to communicate expected performance is in
written detail. My work is evaluated regularly by performance
reviews which consist of meetings with my supervisor. Excellence in
my current role consists of the 5 areas mentioned earlier along
with the ability to plan ahead for the coming weeks, including
holidays and employee paid days off. Planning ahead makes the work
day easier for everyone in the office because it allows all of us
to anticipate patient needs and accomodate them much sooner than
they may have expected.
