ASSESSMENT 1: MANAGE PERSONAL WORK PRIORITIES
Performance objective
The candidate will demonstrate the ability to establish personal work goals. The candidate will also
demonstrate the ability to set and meet work priorities.
Assessment description
Using a position description, you will set work goals and prioritise work goals. You will then develop
two work plans to achieve two work goals. You are required to keep a journal containing your
reflections on and explanation of the process of managing work priorities.
Procedure
1. Review your job description and your organization’s business plans, business goals,
policies and procedures.
In your journal, provide a list of the organization’s policies, procedures and plans that
will inform team and personal goal setting.
If the business is meeting its projections by month nine, we will start scouting
for a second location and develop plans for the next unit. Our five year goal is to
have 3 restaurants in the greater Boston area with a combined annual profit of
between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
2. Based on your job description (and following your organization’s business plans, goals,
and applicable policies and procedures), establish four to five goals (including both
personal and team goals).
In your journal, describe how and why you established goals. Explain the value of
personal and team goal-setting in an organization.
Not to make mistake or loss per day, promoted to demi chef, being role model
to others. Obtain many kind of skills for making profit, being key player in team,
being faster mover to workplace’s environment.

3. Develop KPIs to measure performance related to work goals.
a. In your journal, describe:
b. How the KPIs will be used to measure goal-related performance.
c. How you will maintain performance under varying conditions and contingencies.
Give specific examples.
d. How, given your own personal strengths and weaknesses, you will capitalise on or
minimise the effect of these personal traits in your work plans.
The KPIs must relate directly to the organization's stated goals. These are
the metrics against which the organization will be driven to perform in order
to measure its success over time. For example, if your organization's primary
goals are to have the field engineer arrive at the customer site as quickly as
possible, complete the repair within the contracted time, and leave the
customer completely satisfied, then you will probably be looking at KPIs
reflecting Average Time to Respond (AVR), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR),
and various other customer satisfaction metrics and indices.
How, given your own personal strengths and weaknesses, you will capitalise
on or minimise the effect of these personal traits in your work plans. My
strengths is that I am hard working person so my head chef give me more
working hours. So I can set up my plan to keep more. My weakness is
langue. I am not native speaker English. Sometime I get trouble because of
misunderstanding. To reduce my mistake, when I make prep list, try to write
more concretely .Furthermore when we have free time I try t talk with my
friends, and read an English books.

4. Consider a range of activities to advance work goals. Prioritise possible activities.
Choose two work goals to develop work plans for.
In your journal, describe the process you undertook to prioritise activities. Describe
competing demands and how you plan to manage these to achieve goals.
Aside from common courtesy, it is possible that separate activities and tasks
or further work may depend on you completing or fulfilling yours so the
necessity to notify your colleagues of any changes that are being made. The
realities of scheduling mean that some things need to be planned in advance,
and may rely on what you do or don't do. It also forms part of good business
ethics and is good practice to keep people up to date at all times when things
change or need to be changed. Failing to do so can result in other peoples
work plans being out of sync. It can also cause a bit of tension within the
workplace and lack of respect for letting down the team. 2) Team Goals
A. The to-do list. Don’t keep it on different post-it notes or in your head —
at the beginning of each day or week, write on a sheet of paper what you
want to get done and by when. Rank tasks according to importance or
urgency to plan your day and focus your mind. B. Review your workload
regularly. Is there one task that always ends up at the bottom of the pile? If
you find you’re avoiding it, can somebody else do it? Consider delegating
whole projects that you don’t need to be involved in or allocate a specific
time when you only do your admin, for example. C. Remember the 80:20
BSBWOR501Manage personal work priorities and professional development Assessment – Version: 1.0 (Created: 07/09/17; Printed: 23/09/19)
This document is uncontrolled version when printed. 10
rule of workloads. It’s very simple — 80 per cent of our work contributes to
less than 20 per cent of its value. Concentrate on the most crucial 20 per cent
of your workload, because performance would still be strong. D. Set realistic
deadlines for your tasks. Look at your to-do list and estimate the time each
task needs to be completed but don’t be overoptimistic. Be honest of what
you can achieve in a working day or week so that you don’t feel
overwhelmed from the start. E. Allow time for interruptions. If you need to
finish a certain task at a certain time, only deal with urgent queries during
this time. You can then quickly pick up again where you left off. F. Structure
your workload. Avoid picking up a job, doing a bit and then putting it back
on the pile. Deal with them one at a time and finish each one before starting
another. Your mind will be clear and ready for the next one. G. Don’t let
your inbox drive your workload. If you get 50 mails per day, this means 50
interruptions to your day. Don’t check your inbox every time a message
arrives. Switch off instant alerts if necessary and allocate a time when you
will check your inbox. H. Fun, fun, fun. Ticking items off your to-do list is
great, but are you concentrating on the quick-and-easy ones? Tackling more
challenging projects first might mean more time, but also that a major task
is completed and a weight off your shoulders. I. Keep multitasking to a
minimum. Starting a number of jobs simultaneously means most of them
won’t get your undivided attention. Think of multitasking as dealing with
more than one task during a day, not at the same time. That way you focus
on the project in hand. J. Keep a log of your workload. If you’re unsure how
long things take, how often your focus shifts or how many times you get
interrupted, keep a log of your working week. This will help you plan your
week in future.
How you will ensure you serve as a positive role model through work
planning and organization. Give examples. Describe how your work plans
serve as examples to follow in your workplace. Improving my attitudes
toward my colleges, peers and front staff Encouraging me to stay
motivated and focused on work, life Providing a positive way for me to
spend free time;
if we are well organised and planned at work it will decrease our work
pressure and we can perform well by keeping our work priorities in mind.
It will also enable us to achieve company target by putting less efforts with
time restrictions.
.
How you will maintain appropriate work-life balance, manage stress and
maintain health. Look at your schedule and actually allocate time for
things you enjoy instead of pushing them to the bottom of the list. Make
the time for family and friends. Fostering strong relationships is a crucial
aspect of good mental health. Be open and honest with yourself, your
family and friends, and colleagues. If others know of your stress, they can
assist where fit or avoid adding to it with unnecessary demands. Avoid
alcohol and other harmful substances. These may seem like a cure for
stress at the time, but can act as a crutch or enabler later down the track.
Breathe. A few deep, calm breaths can be a good way to collect your
thoughts, calm down and re-enter the work with greater clarity.
7. Submit your position description, work plans and journal to your assessor as per the
specifications below. Ensure you keep a copy of all work submitted for your records.
