TASK 1
1.1 Set of own responsibilities and performnace objectives
I as a HR manager is working in the Travelodge and there are some of the roles and
responsibilites in the mentioned company. I can classify these responsibilities into personal
responsibilities and other one. There are some specific responsibilities in the Travelodge as HR
manager and one of them is to do performance appraisal. Under this I have to do appraisal of
performamnce of the employees that are working in the organization. Time to time need to
collect relevant data in business in respect to employees performance. It can be said that it is one
of the main responsibility that I have to perform by working at designation of HR manager
(Lerman, 2013). My other responsibility is to determine the salary of employees on the basis of
results that are obtained on the performance appraisal of employees. My other main
responsibility in Travelodge is to take time to time meeting with the employees of the
organization so that conflict if any is there between employees can be identified on time and
problem can be solved when it is at small level. I am curently heading conflict management cell
under which my main aim is to identify soilutions of the problems and to resolve disputes among
employees by finding out solutions on which both entities have concensus. In this way, I fullfil
my responsibilities. My third major responsibility is to design job description statement and to
select best candidate for the company. In this regard I time to time prepare job description
statement and according to need make changes in same. While taking interview I need to ensure
that selected candidate is perfect for the firm.
There are some performance objectives that are associated with my designation and one
of them is to prepare job description in proper manner and to do appraisal of performance in

systematic way so that correct amount of increment can be given to employees in their salary.
Other main objective is to ensure that that is harmonious relationship between employees and in
this regard main objective is to conduct employee activties time to time so that more interaction
can be promoted among the employees of the firm. Apart from this, my other objective is to
ensure that whoever person I am selecting have necessary skill set and talent for doing a job.
1.2 Evaluating own effectiveness according to defined objectives
I evaluate my effectiveness by comparing with objectives. During comparison I
identifiied that on some points I give elegant performance in the business firm but in some areas
performance was not up to work. I observed that I failed to do performance appraisal in proper
manner. There may be multiple reasons behind this and one of them is that there are number of
employees in the business firm and it is very hard task to appraise all employees in proper
manner. However, in area like preparation of job description and employee selection I give
exceptional performance and select right candidate for the Travelodge. It can be said that on this
front I perform well for the business firm. Apart from this, I also failed to perform well on
conflict management (Deeley, 2014). Currently, there are some conflicts that are going on in the
mentioned business firm but I failed to solve these problems in proper manner. It can be said that
it is one of the main issue where I failed to perform well. I give good increment to some
employees but to some up to expected level I failed to give increment. There are multiple factors
behind this and failure happnened because there was budget constraint and due to this reason
beyond certain amount I was not able to give more increment to employees. It can be said that
due to constraint I failed to perform in better way. Apart from this, I also make some mistakes
and one of them is that I make wrong assessment of some employees performance due to which
some employees get unsatisfied and conflict arises at floor. Hence, it can be said that I need to
work on multiple areas to improve performance.
1.3 Make recommendations for improvement
There are number of areas where I need to make improvement and recommendation in
respect to same is given below.
 One of the main recommendation is that there is need to make use of analytic tools
because by using same data can be analyzed in better way. HR analytics become quite
popular among the business firms because by using same employees performance is
analyzed in much better way by the business firm. It is one of the best way in which I can
