Your task is to continue using your GROW model template you began in Module Two to complete the final three sections

Good morning, I have attached the Grow Module template

The organization that you are a director of leadership and learning for has been conducting engagement surveys among its employees every two years to gain a deeper understanding of employees’ views on areas such as customer service, the organization’s overall strategy, job satisfaction, rewards and recognition, and training and development. The most recent survey was conducted this year, and the organization wants to carry out another survey in two years.

In the Identified Gaps—Obstacles section, describe obstacles that might prevent the focus areas you previously identified moving from current state to future state. Consider the following in your response:Skill gaps, organizational culture, and resources among other thingsIn the Goal Revision section, for each of the goals you created previously, describe whether they need to be revised:For the goals that do need to be revised, provide a revision and explain your changes based on obstacles you identified above.For the goals that do not need to be revised, provide rationale for why this goal should remain the same. Support your response.In the A Way Forward—Action section, recommend an actionable step that should be taken in order to close the gap between current state and desired future state for each identified focus area and related goal. Your response should include the following for each actionable step:An explanation on what the step will entailIdentification of stakeholders who will need to be involvedJustification for how this step will help close the gap between current state and desired future state 1

Employee Survey Results

Identified Trends
In examining the employee satisfaction survey results, a few notable trends
emerge across the focus areas over the past four years. These include a decline in
employee praise and recognition by the management, as well as a decline in employee
job satisfaction, minimized uptake of training and development and a significantly
reduced state of working conditions and environment for employees.
Employee Survey Results Data
Focus Areas
Based on the survey data evaluation, four key focus areas that have been identified for
targeted improvement over the next two years including employee praise and recognition by
management, job satisfaction among employees, effective training and development, and
enhanced working conditions and environment for employees. It would be important if managers
and supervisors create time to offer adequate praise and recognition to employees for their efforts
and achievements while also ensuring that employees are satisfied with their jobs, which in most
3
cases turns out to have a positive impact on their productivity, engagement, and overall wellbeing. While training and development enhance their skills, knowledge, and career growth
prospects, ultimately benefiting both the employees and the organization, improving working
conditions helps improve the physical and non-physical aspects of the work environment.
Reality—Current State
As initially indicated, the management’s current level of employee praise and
recognition is not at the desired state hence the continued downward trend. Looking at
the data, it is clear that the level of praise and recognition the employees receive from the
management has consistently remained low over the last few years and is still worsening.
Also, the area of job satisfaction among the employees is low and continues to take a
downward trend. A declining trend in job satisfaction indicates that the employees are not
satisfied with the job they do hence they are not motivated to perform better. On working
conditions, the current state is fair and indicates a positive trend. While the working
conditions and environment for employees are currently rated as fair, there is a positive
trend of steady improvement in this area. Lastly, the data shows that the current state of
employee training and development is fair and continues to remain steady. Opportunities
such as training and development that the management extends to the employees have a
fair rating and this aspect has remained relatively stable without significant changes.
Desired Future State—Where Would You Like to Be?
The desired future state for employee praise and recognition is a future increase in motivation and
rewarding the employee. More praise and recognition to be made to the employee which may
lead to an employee being more motivated and recognized or cared for in the organization. Future
state of job satisfaction to the employee by employees being 86% satisfied and motivated. And
the future state should be made to the employees an average of 86% satisfied and motivated for a
4
better place to work. The desired future state for an employee’s working conditions and
environment is 72% improved through remuneration, fair shifts, working hours, and pay. The
organization aims to significantly enhance the working conditions and environment for
employees by 72%, focusing on factors such as fair compensation, reasonable work shifts and
hours, and equitable pay practices. The goal is to align the training and development programs
with the specific needs of the organization and keep them up-to-date with current market trends,
ensuring their relevance and effectiveness.
