LO 1
SWOT analysis
It is necessary to identify own personal strength and weakness so that it can be improved.
For this there are several models and tools that is available which can be used. Similarly, i also
found that in order to attain my career goals and objectives it is necessary for me to analyse my
skills (Ward. and van der Mars, 2020). Thus, for that i have used SWOT analysis. It will help
me to find out strength and weakness and also i will be able to identify areas in which i need
improvement. Furthermore, with that i will be able to set goals and objectives of my career
which i want to attain. Besides that, SWOT will help in evaluating my current skills and
capabilities. Thus, it is as follows
Strengths

analyse problem and then find out root cause of it. also, i am easily able to solve complex
problems as well. this is my key strength

knowledge about various leadership styles as well. i am also able to inspire and encourage other
people (Jaeger, 2018).
Weakness
My main weakness is that i am not able to communicate in proper way. it is because of my
introvert nature. I do not know various types of communication methods. So, this hamper my
performance.
Another weakness is that i am not able to take effective decisions. I always get confused in doing
so and this hamper my performance. Moreover, decisions that i take are ineffective. So, this
results in not obtaining of goals and objectives.
I am weak in completing tasks on time. as my strength is multi tasking so i get late in doing tasks
in deadline. It leads to impact on my productivity in negative way. i always get delay in finishing
my work. (Saric. and Steh, 2017)

Threats
Due to covid 19 there has been recession in entire world. So, there are many lay offs being done
by company. Thus, i may also be not able to get my desire job due to it.
I may face competition from those who are having experience of 5-8 years in their respective
field. Hence, i may not be able to compete with them.
The uses of technology at workplace may also lead to less use of workforce. Hence, there may be
job cuts in companies. (Balbag, Yenilmez,. and Turgut, 2017)
Self reflection
I found that by doing SWOT analysis i was able to identify my current skills and
capabilities. Besides that, i got to know about my weak areas and what improvement is required
to be done in it. so, on basis of that i will develop my career and personal goals. It will help me
in accomplishing my goals. Moreover, i analysed that self reflection is necessary as it gave me
insight about my strength and opportunities which i can grab in future. Furthermore, i think that
it is necessary for me to make improvement in my skills so that i can achieve my career goals.
Thus, by finding out my weakness i will be able to develop SMART goals. So, i found that my
weakness are communication, time management and decision making. they all are hampering on
my productivity and i am not able to perform well (Salter. and Rhodes, 2018). thus, it is
necessary for me to overcome weakness so that i attain my career goals and my personal as well
as professional growth is improved. In addition to that, i will develop a personal and professional
development plan as well. In this i will include strategies that how i can accomplish my desired
goals and develop skills. Hence, on basis of SWOT analysis i have developed SMART goals.

effective communication skills (Hashim, N.S.B.H.N. and Chin, L.F.H., 2018). They are
superiors of the company and during the interaction with the candidates it is necessary for the
interviewer to use effective communication skills to show themselves as a professionals. at the
workplace also effective communication is useful to communicate a message to the employees
related to any policies and programmes at the workplace. improvement in communication will
help me to get to higher positions and helping to develop as a HR manager of the company.

Management skills- Management skills are another most important skill for the HR manager.
As a HR manager of the company I have to when is the employees performance and implement
the management practises at the workplace. Management skills like negotiation is this again
essential human resource management skill that all a child professional need to be successful is
that of the ability to negotiate. when the negotiation rolls around when an offer of the
employment has been extended within the workplace of company, there are typically two
different sites. As a strong HR professional I have to be work with the outside agreement can be
reached that make each and everyone happy.
Problem solving and conflict management- Problem solving and conflict management skills it
myself will help me too solve the problem within the organisation and conflicts can place
anytime Within the workplace. it is necessary for me to communicate with employees about the
problems they are facing and I have to be come up with new ideas and solution that can how to
welcome from the conflict situations. It is given that not every single employees within the
workplace will get along with their Co workers on their managers (Afandi, A. And et.al ., 2019).
It means that some of the points I have to be responsible to solve those problems or conflicts. the
skill will help me too ensure that employees work together in a civil manner So what can we

Professional HR manager. I can do more than to work at the same time and that is managing the
employees By handling their issues and implementing the new policies at the same time. Both
the work is most important for the HR manager and that will help me to grow as a professional
HR manager. The HR manager is inundated With the many issues, questions and Request as a
daily basis. some of them might related to the others and some of will be completely different
issues together (Egerău, A., 2018). As a HR manager It will be most important for me to know
how to adopt to the change in the office if I want to be successful. it is the part of the
multitasking because i will need to handle the issues with evil eyes while I will need to handle
the issues with evil eyes while implementing the new policies an Hire ups At the workplace of
the company.

Decision making skill- It will be another most important skill that I will be needed as a roll of
HR manager. There are many decision-making that are involved with the human resource. and
one of the good example is during the recruitment process where I have to be decide whether the
employee is right for the job role or not. I have to identify the core skill in the candidate through
taking their interviews and other methods. on the basis of those interviews and performance of
the candidate I have to decide, If the candidate is able to work on the job role that they have
applied for. the recognising a good talent is not something that I can learn easily. I will require a
experience, strategy and intuition and this is something what I will need as a HR manager. the
another intense is when facing the dilemma of the downsizing (Achmad, Sriekaningsih. and
Tarakan 2017). I will play the most important role in this to get the message across effectively
even in the middle of the crisis. during the company take decisions it will be my role to take
apart within the decision-making of the company. This is not making also cover the policies
related to the employees, where I have to decide with the superiors that which policies will be
good for the employees and help to motivate them effectively. For example- Reward
management policies are implemented by the HR manager, it will be totally depend on me what
will be the rewards and how much will be the rewards.
Training and development skills – Another function of the HR manager within the company is
that providing a training and development to the employees to improve their skills and develop
them effectively so they can give their best within the task and help you to grow their business.
As a turn manager I will be responsible for giving the employees development opportunities or
in order to maximise the performance and increase the value. Organising decision’s on
management and leadership training, for example- I will provide more diverse skills to the
employees by the skilful training- Before providing the skilful training I have to be ensured that I
have all the skill that I want employees to be learned. I have to develop a proper training and
development skills so I can transfer the skills to the employees will get the training so they were
able to develop new skills which will help them to motivate and also help them to achieve higher
success within their careers. It will not only helpful for the employees but I will also able to
