Good working procedures
Working procedures and systems can be classified as generic and specific.
Generic means that all organisations have similar systems in place to address issues such as health and safety and data protection act. Specific is unique to the organisation and these could include compliance with a set of rules, codes or professional practice. An example of specific working procedures that rainbow charity could use would be a dress code.
Working procedures and systems are essential to any job role because they provide the guidelines and instructions in terms of working and behaving as a professional.
Attitudes
Independence
Employers would like to employ people who don’t need to be told what to do next in other words think for themselves, but they don’t want people who don’t check first to make sure they are doing it right or asking other employees what is normally done. This would be helpful to rainbow charity because it means they can leave them to work with a client and not have to keep checking on them.
Confidence
If you lack confidence your approach to problem solving may be too cautious so by lacking this confidence you would have the courage to try the best strategy. If you don’t have confidence you wont achieve your goals, but you don’t want to be too confident as this could lead to you rushing things or not think things through while planning your strategy. So confidence is important but needs to be based on a genuine skill level. Confidence would also be helpful because if they don’t have confidence they might not want to talk to clients on their own so by having this confidence they would be able to talk to anyone.
