Reflection (week 7) - Audio Podcasts & Human Performance Technology

The Human Performance Improvement is a goal where all the human capital of the company has an interest, since the staff of the institution is a valuable resource. I like the idea of encouraging employee participation in the practice of the institution, because the achievements are shared and all are participants in the success of the project.

I understand that by allowing students to actively participate in school projects are encouraged to contribute with their ideas, they may be able to make positive reviews and can achieve better results. The teacher must find ways to work with students, facilitating the inclusion of them in the work of the class, as students are the course's human capital.

The Podcast “How to Create Effective Workplace: Wellness Programs that Sticks” is about the role of Human Resource Management is evolving. The Human Resource Management must play a more strategic role in the success of an organization. All this because the management of human resources is facing new challenges both in the present and future, where organizations must become more adaptable, flexible, agile, and customer-focused to succeed. Must be a driven function with a thorough understanding of the image of the organization and be able to influence key business decisions and policies. In general, the focus of human resources today is based on strategies for staff retention and talents development. Human Resources professionals will be coaches, counselors, mentors, and succession planners to help motivate organization's members and their loyalty, in order to meet the challenges and overcome them.

The Podcast allows companies to record messages in a media file that is available online. Consumers, customers and employees can either listen to the podcast online or download the file to an Apple iPod, a smartphone or other digital audio player.

Podcasts are another way to distribute files very conveniently. You can listen to a seminar on the way to work or in the gym, providing flexibility when learning. Ultimately is another tool to get the updated information and share it!
