INTRODUCTION
Employability skills are the set of abilities an individual have which makes him/her
employable in any organisation. These skills help employees to develop personally so that an
organisation can also use their potentials in achieving firm's objectives (Cottrell, 2015). The
present report is focussed on employability skills that are required in any company so that
employee can dedicate their talent at workplace. The report will be focussed on same topic for
Hilton group of hotels. Hilton is a public limited hospitality company which serves in various
countries at a global level. The report will go on discussing skills that are required and its
importance as well in company.
TASK 1
1.1 Own responsibilities and performance objectives
As an HR manager, I will have a lot of responsibilities in organisation towards staff and
management as well (Smale and Fowlie, 2015). According to that I have assessed my personal
strengths and weaknesses that can be helpful at workplace.
I have good managerial skills along with good time management ability. I have also good
ability to organise team and work in cooperation with team members. I have a learning spirit as
well which always encourage me to learn new things from wherever I can. Further, I have good
knowledge of IT which helps me in handling issues related to technologies.
Besides all above strengths I am weak in starting communication with individuals
(Verma, 2012). But I have a good opportunity to improve these skills as an HR manager because
I will get more exposure of people through this post. The only threat is to manage all other staff
as well according to organisational goals and objectives.
Above discussed SWOT analysis of myself now directs me to easily manage my own
responsibilities at workplace which will be as follows:
 Recruitment and selection will be the primary and foremost responsibility. It should be
kept in mind that position which the organisation is looking for matches with candidate's
skills and qualification (Ragonese and et.al., 2014).
 After recruitment, responsibility of induction, training etc. would be fulfilled by
identifying needs of employees.

 Besides this, monitoring of employees performance so that their work can be appraised
and motivation can be given by using right tools.
 Taking care of all employees welfare and safety at workplace and maintaining fair trade
practices as well.
 Helping senior management in making decisions related to workforce and handling
grievances of workers.
Performance objectives
 To ensure that all employees of organisation feel job security and have their grievances
handled in well manner (Heimler, 2010).
 By identifying needs of employees, arrangement of their training so that their personal
development can be made which will be beneficial for company as well.
 By applying right tools and methods of motivation so that workers remain encouraged to
work with full interest and commitment.
All these objectives will act as a roadmap to fulfil responsibilities that are expected of an
HR manager in organisation.
1.2 Effectiveness against objectives
To do the evaluation of my set objectives, I will first write down my all tasks that I am
expected to do regularly. With tasks, all other related details like deadlines for particular tasks
and their structure will also be noted (Wibrow, 2011). This will help in managing work
according to time. Besides this, priority of work can also be decided so that important works can
be carried out first. This list will be checked and updated on daily basis so that I can track my
performance. Further, I will check and monitor performances of other employees as well in each
department. This will help me in making appraisal of workers that assist in making performance
sheet. This sheet is used as a base while making decisions about salary increment, promotions
etc. (Poon, 2012). Moreover, all this recording and maintenance of checklist to track workings, is
useful to know the areas where a person is good and where he/she is lacking. Thus, any guidance
can also be asked from senior management on issues that are sensitive and complex to handle
alone. This kind of decisions should be taken after discussing it with all the concerned persons.
Thus all these ways help in comparing performances on timely basis and act as an encouraging
tool to perform better.
