|
|
5 Nature of the job:
|
|
6
|
|
7 Does your job description accurately reflect the nature of your duties?
|
|
8
|
|
9 Taken on more admin/desk-based (i.e. not running around the place,
|
|
10 directly customer facing)
|
|
11
|
|
12 ACTION: MG and MS review Job Description and update as necessary
|
|
13
|
|
14 What have you done in your role that has made you feel proud?
|
|
15
|
|
16 Getting the Fringe Society: played a key role in making that happen,
|
|
17 disappointed that we couldn't repeat that, and not sure about how the
|
|
18 CVenues version will play out.
|
|
19
|
|
20 Got to grips with the chasing up bookings and invoices etc.: more
|
|
21 efficient at dealing with that than in the past. Hallmaster
|
|
22 definitely a learning curve.
|
|
23
|
|
24 Was there anything that felt less than successful when you attempted it?
|
|
25
|
|
26 Booking clash for the GA of Church of Scotland, missed something
|
|
27 crucial about this involving more than it had in previous years.
|
|
28
|
|
29 And what did you do to improve the situation?
|
|
30
|
|
31 Sorted it, with help from Rachel Fitzgerald and Aug.United
|
|
32
|
|
33 What changes have you implemented and how do you think they went/were received?
|
|
34
|
|
35 Not sure I've implemented anything -- list of slow-payers and
|
|
36 Hallmaster-refusniks. Working on capturing/transferring to Ellie
|
|
37 experience/information about regular(ish) groups
|
|
38
|
|
39 [Dropping Sundays] A good change from doing 7 days in a stretch.
|
|
40
|
|
41 [Things around the building?]
|
|
42
|
|
43 Obstacles and support:
|
|
44
|
|
45 What extra support would you like from me as your manager?
|
|
46
|
|
47 Depends on whether there are extra things I might be taking on.
|
|
48
|
|
49 Have you encountered any particular difficulties where you would have
|
|
50 appreciated more support?
|
|
51
|
|
52 Not that can think of just now
|
|
53
|
|
54 Can you say why you didn’t ask for support at the time?
|
|
55
|
|
56 Quaker Ethos:
|
|
57
|
|
58 Do you think the Quaker ethos is nurtured in your work and your workplace?
|
|
59
|
|
60 I think so. We have a pretty good Quaker ethos here. Haven't
|
|
61 encountered anything. Like to think we pass those on to our clients,
|
|
62 in the way we interact with them.
|
|
63
|
|
64
|
|
65 Working relationships:
|
|
66
|
|
67 How would you describe the relationships you have built with your
|
|
68 colleagues and users of the building?
|
|
69
|
|
70 Good relationship with most of the users, in person or via
|
|
71 email/phone. They know who I am, and that helps toward friendly
|
|
72 interaction. [Colleague] was upset about how I handle some
|
|
73 difficulties, but in general get on pretty well with the rest of the
|
|
74 staff time. Would like to improve on that, but no glaring holes.
|
|
75 QUakers on Sunday also pretty good.
|
|
76
|
|
77 [MG - better in difficult situations to use email rather than SMS so
|
|
78 there's a non-private, recoverable record]
|
|
79
|
|
80 How do you see your role within the team now and how would you like it to grow?
|
|
81
|
381
|
82 Could take more responsibility in staff meetings, particular regarding
|
|
83 anything to do with the building.
|
380
|
84
|
381
|
85 ACTION: MG to discuss with MS about sharing running of staff meeting]
|
380
|
86
|
|
87 Work environment:
|
|
88
|
|
89 What do you like or dislike about your work environment?
|
|
90
|
381
|
91 Dislike the bagpipes, the crush of tourists. But generally a
|
|
92 welcoming and friendly workplace, and we project that well to people
|
|
93 who walk in.
|
380
|
94
|
381
|
95 Struggling at the moment with a wrist that keeps me from cycling.
|
380
|
96
|
|
97 Do you have any suggestions for improving it?
|
|
98
|
381
|
99 [redacted :-]
|
380
|
100
|
381
|
101 Remove the perspex, re-dress the desk.
|
|
102
|
|
103 Management/ supervision:
|
380
|
104
|
381
|
105 Looking forward as an assistant manager, what do you see as the
|
|
106 requirements for your role to provide me with support, as I work on
|
|
107 strategic business development?
|
380
|
108
|
381
|
109 Helping with Hartley's email was something I was able do, managing the
|
|
110 electricians coming in for quotes ditto. I could put together casual
|
|
111 staff rotas. I could do more supervision of on-site contractors, as
|
|
112 we've moved away from DiY.
|
|
113
|
382
|
114 Juggling things so Ellie does more with bookings, then I would have
|
|
115 time to do more with contractors.
|
380
|
116
|
382
|
117 Better and handling the receipts spreadsheets
|
380
|
118
|
|
119 Training and development needs:
|
382
|
120
|
380
|
121 What training have you undergone during the year?
|
|
122
|
382
|
123 First aid. Some refresh on touch typing.
|
380
|
124
|
382
|
125 Are there any training opportunities you would like to pursue? Or any
|
|
126 skills you would like to develop?
|
380
|
127
|
382
|
128 Useful at some point to do some bookkeeping training. Training on
|
|
129 excel spreadsheets, using free online courses.
|
380
|
130
|
382
|
131 Woodbrooke no longer does this.
|
380
|
132
|
382
|
133 ACTION: MG to book Food Hygiene for MS, Fire extinguishers for everyone
|
380
|
134
|
382
|
135 [HST could help with Excel maybe]
|
380
|
136
|
|
137 Overall:
|
382
|
138
|
|
139 If you could change anything about your role or the way the team
|
|
140 operates, what would it be?
|
|
141
|
|
142 Not interested in more hours. Fewer might be good.
|
|
143
|
|
144 Sometimes MG and KJ or E? are working in the office and I'm stuck on
|
|
145 the front desk and sometimes it feels a bit like being left out. So
|
|
146 maybe look at swapping places some times...
|
380
|
147
|
383
|
148 If someone staying late, or arriving early in the evening, I'd be
|
|
149 happy to start later.
|
|
150
|
|
151 [MG I try to balance early/late starts across the month across the
|
|
152 staff. Thursday afternoon instead of morning would be OK when Ken or
|
|
153 Ellie is in from 9]
