ASSESSMENT TASK 1
1. Self-Appraisal as the word suggests refers to the assessment of one's performance by himself or herself. This helps to analyse their strengths and weaknesses and may be useful for improvement in the future.
Self-Appraisal contributes to performance review as it provides a better understanding of their development in a career and also helps in identifying the gap on performance as required by the manager and as actually performed.
2. Peer Appraisal refers to a performance appraisal process where the peers i.e. the colleagues of the same team who has observed the performance of the employee provide feedback and report on his/her performance at work. One of the advantages is that it helps in providing honest and complete analysis of the performance.

5. Pareto Principle(Dunford, R.,Q. and Tamang, E) of time management refers to applying to 80-20 rules. This means that proper input of 20% will help in getting 80% results or output. This is an effective tool as it helps to prioritize the work according to the importance and thus helping in proper time management.(Cato, S.)
6. Five signs of Stress (Littlejohn, P.) are:

7. Work-Life Balance(Danish, R.Q., Humayon, A.A., Aslam, N., Usman, A. and Tariq, M.I) is a very important aspect for a working person which he/she needs to maintain. It refers to a proper balance of time allocation between the work and life i.e. family, interests, social activities, etc. If work-life balance is not maintained by an individual it may result in stress and unhappiness in life. But if followed properly an individual can be happy both at work as well as at home, with friends, relatives, etc.
8. The strategies for reducing stress and maintain work-life balance (Guest, D.E.) are:
· Encourage employees to go on leave with family.
· Provide training to employees to help them gain knowledge of new technologies.
· Proper and healthy eating habits and workout.
· Setting achievable targets according to the priority of work
· Keeping a track on time given to a particular task by working smartly
9. Technology can have harm work-life balance (Haar, J.M., Russo, M., Suñe, A. and Ollier-Malaterre, A) as through technology one need to be connected with the workplace even when they are not at work. This means the social time i.e. the time spent with family, friends, relatives, etc. is reduced thus affecting the entire work-life balance. This increases stress among the employees.
10. Strategies to maintain a healthy work-life balanceare:
· Relaxation of rules during lunch hours and break time.
· Encourage and motivate employees through incentives.
· Ask employees to go on leave by encouraging work from home facilities.
11. Ways to develop new skills are as follows:

12. Two ways to manage time more effectively at work are:
· Properly plan the work according to the importance and time required for each.
· Keep a check on time given to a work according to the targets set so that it can be effectively done.
13. Personal development planningrefers to the process of planning to improve one's self by the development of skills, talents, values, qualities, etc. at the workplace. This helps an employee to identify what are their personal goals that they want to achieve in the organization and the various ways how they can achieve them through proper planning. This results in helping the employees to develop and improve their overall personality and gain confidence.

15. Behavioural assessment in context to the workplace is a tool by which the managers and executives of the organization analyse and assess the behavior of the employees in different situations. It helps the managers to get information concerning the behavior at the workplace, leadership qualities, communication skills, ability to deal with situations, regarding the employees. It helps in hiring the right person by comparing the behavior which is required at work and the behavior which is shown by the employee in a given situation.
16. There are many advantages of behavioural assessment. The advantage to the organization is that it provides an insight into the behaviour of the employee in various situations and how that behaviour will affect its performance and workplace environment. Also, the employees get to know about the expected behaviours in a given problem and discuss the difference in behaviour to have a better understanding of the same with the manager.
