(Intra and Interpersonal skills)

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

1. Understand about the Intra and Interpersonal skill.

(Introductory Paragraph)

We, humans, are social


animals, and we always need
someone to talk or share our
opinions, news, and even
feelings. Communication is a
substantial part of our life,
whether we say something or
not, it automatically conveys a
message to the persons
surrounding us, because it is
inescapable. It can be
intrapersonal communication
or interpersonal
communication. The major difference between intrapersonal and
interpersonal communication is that the former is invisible, as it goes in our
mind, the latter is visible as it takes place between several parties.
(Body)

Professionalism is a quality that is projected in terms of:

1. Physical Projection – appearance, poise, posture and body language.

2. Verbal Projection – quality of speech, diplomacy and tact in the words


and expressions used, including the tone, volume, non-verbals.

3. Conduct and behaviour – practice of basic courtesies, tolerance for


difficult guests and customers, compliance to service standards, etc.

understood whenever sending a message.

manner, maintain conversational tone and
volume.

unclear.
“If I got you right, are you saying
that.......”

“I heard you say.... do you mean...?”

acknowledge first their statement before pointing out your ideas. Make
statements like

“I see your point.” “I understand what you mean. However, I feel that...”

mind, I’m sorry. Etc.

“May I have your name sir?” instead of “What’s your name?”

“May I know who is on the line, rather than “Who is this?”

“What can I do for you ma’am/sir?” rather than ask “What is it sir?” or
“What do you want from____.”

diplomatic way of doing it is to say: “I really wish I could satisfy your
request, however.......I hope you understand.”

Information Sheet # 3.2-1
(Company policies)

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Understand about company policies.

(Introductory Paragraph)
Company policies and procedures establish the rules of conduct
within an organization, outlining the responsibilities of both employees and
employers. Company policies and procedures are in place to protect the
rights of workers as well as the business interests of employers. Depending
on the needs of the organization, various policies and procedures establish
rules regarding employee conduct, attendance, dress code, privacy and other
areas related to the terms and conditions of employment.
(Body)

Workplace Policies:

Some laws require employers to communicate workplace information


to employees in writing. In the absence of a specific requirement, employers
should also implement policies that communicate company expectations
and benefits. While the contents of your company's handbook will depend
on a number of factors, including your company's size, industry, and
location, consider including these key policies:

1. At-will employment. This
statement reiterates that either you
or the employee can terminate the
employment relationship at any time
and for any reason, as long as the
reason is a lawful one. It is a best
practice to prominently display this
statement in the beginning of your
employee handbook (except in
Montana, where at-will employment
is not recognized). Reinforce at-will
status in your handbook
acknowledgment form as well.

Professionalism FERRER
2. Anti-harassment and non-discrimination. These policies prohibit
harassment and discrimination in the workplace. Non-discrimination laws
are governed by federal, state and local provisions, so review your applicable
law and account for all appropriate protections.

3. Employment classifications. It is a best practice to clearly define


employment classifications, such as full-time, part-time, exempt or non-
exempt since an employee's classification can dictate eligibility for benefits
and overtime pay.

4. Leave and time off benefits. These policies address a company's


rules and procedures regarding holidays, vacation, sick, and other types of
time off benefits, or leave required by law (such as voting leave, family leave,
and domestic violence leave) or company policy. Check your state and local
law to ensure all leave requirements are included in your employee
handbook.

5. Meal and break periods. A policy on meal and break periods informs
employees of the frequency and duration of such breaks as well as any rules
or restrictions related to break periods. Rest periods, lactation breaks, and
meal periods must be provided in accordance with federal, state and local
laws.

6. Timekeeping and pay. A timekeeping policy informs employees of the


method for recording time worked and the importance of accurately
recording their time. A policy on paydays lets employees know the frequency
of paydays, the methods available for receiving pay, and any special
procedures for when a payday falls on a holiday or when an employee is
absent from work.

7. Safety and health. Safety policies describe safety and emergency


procedures and require employees to report work-related injuries
immediately. Additionally, some regulations under the Occupational Safety
and Health Act require employers to have specific policies and programs in
place if certain workplace hazards exist (such as a hazard communication
program if certain chemicals are present in the workplace).

8. Employee conduct, attendance and punctuality. Attendance


policies make it clear that employees must be ready to work at their
scheduled start time each day and provide procedures for informing the
company of an unscheduled absence or late arrival. It is also a best practice
to have policies on standards of conduct, drug and alcohol abuse,
disciplinary action, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and workplace
violence.

Forms & Documents:

Employers must maintain certain records to comply with federal, state, and
local laws and to help administer HR policies and practices. Depending on
the nature of the form, these documents should either be retained in the
employee's personnel file, or a separate confidential file. Here are some key
forms to consider:

9. Hiring forms. There are a variety of forms that can help you identify
qualified candidates during the pre-hire process, such as a job application
and candidate evaluation form. Once a candidate is hired, you must
complete certain new hire paperwork, including a Form W-4 and a Form I-9.
Additionally, certain notices must be provided to new hires.

10. Receipt of company property. If you provide employees with


equipment, tools, or other company property, use this form to document
what was provided to the employee. This can help ensure that all property is
returned and accounted for at the time of separation.

11. Handbook acknowledgments. When an employee signs this form, he


or she acknowledges that they are responsible for reading and complying
with all company policies. Obtain signed acknowledgments when you first
issue the handbook, at the time of hire for new employees, and whenever
you make changes to the handbook.

12. Leave of absence. Have employees submit requests for time off or


other types of leave in writing. In some cases, the federal government or
your state government may provide sample forms, such as those used for
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) purposes.

13. Reasonable accommodation requests. Federal and some state laws


require employers to provide reasonable accommodations for applicants and
employees with disabilities, or sincerely held religious beliefs and practices.
While employees aren't required to make reasonable accommodation
requests in writing, employers should thoroughly document the request, all
communications regarding the request, and the resulting accommodation.

14. Performance and discipline. Document all performance and


disciplinary events, whether positive or negative. This includes annual
performance reviews, recognitions received, promotions, and disciplinary
action, such as written and oral warnings and performance improvement
plans.
