Research a company at which you would like to work My paper is a research paper on motivation, stress and communication on a company I have chosen to work for. The company is the State’s Probation/Parole Office and I will touch on the following items:
* A brief job description for a position within the company I researched that I would like to fill.
* Discuss ways that goal setting could be used to motivate my performance after I fill the position.
* Analyze my reactions to stressful situations and discuss the steps I could take to manage the stress associated with my new position
* Describe how I would address nonverbal and cultural barriers to communication.
. Stressful situations on the job can decrease an employee’s motivation, which is why steps to managing stressful situation are also pointed out in the paper, also I must be aware of the company’s goals and missions, the goals really have to be aligned with the mission, vision and strategy of the business.
The paper will mention ways to cope with non-verbal and cultural barriers to communication, which is essential factor in maintaining employee satisfaction and motivation to help achieve the office of Probation and Parole goals.
The Company
The state’s Probation/Parole officers are overworked and stretched too thin, making their vital public safety role more difficult to fulfill As the backbone of the probation and parole process, parole agents are on the frontline in providing both supervision and counseling to offenders. These men and women operate to uphold the law and safeguard the public from criminal activity during an inmate’s transition from incarceration to the community.
Prior to release from incarceration, Institutional Parole Agents assist individual offenders with parole planning and completion of documents and reports to help
