Runājot ar jauniešiem vai studentiem ,kuri visu savu mācību laiku veltījuši studijām un skolas aktivitiātēm, nākas secināt, ka visi ir vienās domās par to, ka darba atrašans izredzes viņiem ir niecīgas. Tomēr vēlos uzsvērt, ka "reklamējot" sevi, rakstot CV, padomā, kādās skolas aktivitātēs esi iesaistījies, konkursos, pasākumu organizēšanās, varbūt jau skolēnu mācību firmas darbībā iesaistījies, debatējis u.t.t. tas viss Tev var būt liels PLUSS, ja pat Tev nav nekāda apmaksāta darba pieredze.
To var pieminēt CV sadaļā intereses, papildus apmācība.

News
Long time no topics..I guess I was too lazy.
Situation in Latvia. Companies are changing top management positions. Good specialists are still "head hunted". But also large number of unemployed people. Suggest to study languages, because it is needed now and in the future. Economists state that first new job places will be made in companies focused on export. So how do people think they will be able to attain good jobs without more than two languages.( Latvian and Russian)ENGLISH is needed very much.

How to be fully engaged with the work you have done for a long?
Do you know people who many years do the same work. Is the expert of doing it, do not really want to change occupation, thinks that the only thing he can do?
Everybody have met all kind of people, somebody from them enjoy learning new things over and over again just to expand his boarders of knowledge and skills, somebody gets specialized in one specific area, nobody can’t tell which is better way to do. However, Robert Kiyosaki business man and author of well know book Rich and Poor Dad has developed an idea that it is not good when young people get specialized in one area too quickly, meaning that people with broad knowledge are better survivors in changing world.
Now back to topic. If a person has decided that learning new things he doesn’t not want, good way how to get newly engaged in work he does e.g. can be a change in a rhythm of day, wake up early, do the most of the work in a first half of day and more time is left for family, hobby. Also, a person suddenly will see his day differently, especially those who usually sleep late. Just do the same think a little bit differently and you will discover how much more fun it is. However, the best way is to state a target for yourself you want to reach with your work and you will have a new load of energy when you will go for it.

How to measure a functional capacity of employees?
Previously I explained the situation when in the situation of laid off people, tasks are divided between rest of the people. However, in institutions and companies where salaries are decreased but at the same time due to structural reforms, there is a need to delegate more tasks to one employee, people are complaining that there is an overload of work.
Previously I described other problem, but now needs to take in consideration a tendency when institutions and organizations during growth of economics hired too many employees who were not fully employed.
Considering nowadays situation when many companies and organization should allocate recourses, work more effectively and cut expenses at the same time employees should work more to receive the same salary, also in government institutions people will obtain more and differed tasks.
But the question I am wondering about is how to understand and measure the level of the capacity for one person doing a work in a good quality?
One measure of the quality and capacity can be the level of satisfaction for the person doing the job. It can be measured with different personnel tests. Second a personnel specialist can interview employee to evaluate his motivation and strengths. Each organization should have a clear vision of the people satisfaction of doing work.

How to not overload an employee with work?
During this time many organization tend to minimize expenses, optimize resources. In worst case a few employees are fired therefore should be careful with delegating tasks to other employees. Of course there was a time when the quality did not fallow wages, wages were high because there were not enough people who would be ready to work, but the profit of their work was low.
How to evaluate, how much work is enough for one person? Delegating tasks to other employees should be very careful with what to delegate to each person.
First, work can be disturbed if there are many new tasks which he/she didn’t do before.
Secondly, when a person was hired he was willing to do the tasks he was applying to. He knew that he is good at doing it. But now receiving extra assignments could affect work result badly.
Finally, it would be necessary to sit down and talk with an employee which tasks he would like to do. Somebody is better in organizing events, one is better in calculations. Somebody is better in work with clients; one cannot stand to work with clients.
For organizing a work in a company these things should consider. Otherwise the quality can decrease and the overall atmosphere between colleagues can be affected.

How to motive employees when wages should cut and some of colleagues are laidoff?
People at the company or government institution are left with negative emotions. People do not trust organization; they think employer is not good enough to lead the business. People do not feel security and thinks-why I should work if I could be the next person who will be fired.
I randomly found and article which suggest three things which need to be considered. First of all, it stated that a clear communication with employees about company’s future plans is needed. But, how to communicate the situation in government institution when wages will be cut by 35% as it was at the beginning of the year? There should be a good explanation about the necessity to cut the wages and how the cut will positively affect the situation in a country. Many understand that cutting wages is not a stimulation of economics.
Secondly, there was mentioned in short the idea that manager should show empathy and understanding to employees who are in the organization. Yes, considering an experience, a pushing of very positive thinking at the beginning does not have an expected influence on the overall situation. First people should feel a support and understanding but after that they will turn easier to positive attitude.
Finally, all duties should be divided fairly and new leaders should be noticed in a company and necessary specially trained if necessary. Managers and heads of department should evaluate each person very seriously. It is important that everybody overtake receive duties in amount it is possible to handle and most importantly could be done successfully. Also, it is not a good idea to choose a leaders, top managers or a heart of the colleagues, would be better to take some time and to see how everybody is doing and maybe leadership talents arose which everybody accept.
These are only a few suggestions, but in a top of them in my opinion there should be a clear communication in all levels of management and institutions.
