Week 10 the 21st of May

In the morning I received a call from my supervisor asking if I could have a look into the absence of employees via the companies server. Then to set out a clear absence policy, which we had discussed during our call or at least the headlines which we had discussed and must not forget. Most importantly to not leave out any important information, therefore, I did some research first. There are many different ways of approaching such a task, and I decided to make it smart, simple, easy to read, and to the eye appealing. See document below;

I feel like I lack the knowledge required to perform this particular task and because of that I start to overthink again. I decided to not hesitate and ask my colleagues form the HR department for help and did some research myself online to support my findings. This contributes to my development in a good way both research and communication wise. The final product will be read by many if not all employees so asking for help was a good idea in my opinion. Next time I will contact a business proffesional from a different company to ask his/her opinion and that is what I will do if I find myself in the same situation next time.

During the phone call with my supervisor, we also discussed the current Corona situation in both the Netherlands and Spain. It seems directions are being used in both countries however in Holland much faster. Therefore it’s going to be very important to set up some clear guidelines and rules which would have to be followed until further notice. Taking into account restrictions set by the government and those very important for the organization itself. One of my other tasks was to provide my supervisor eight overviews of regulations which have to be strictly followed by the government as the quarantine will be east and the office will open again the document is required to be in a format which would be very easy to hang up at the office so everyone can see it. I didn’t manage to finish my research by the end of today however I will certainly have it done by the end of tomorrow morning.
