At Purepost, we define Workplace Impact by breaking it into the following elements: knowledge, skills, behavior, and effort. The subcomponents of this definition are defined as follows:
- Knowledge-command of a body of facts required to do a job. Knowledge is broader than a skill; it represents the intellectual context within which a person performs.
- Skill-facility with the means and methods of accomplishing a task. Skill may range from physical strength and dexterity to specialized learning.
- Behavior-an individual’s observable ways of acting that contribute to the accomplishment of a task. The way one manifests values, ethics, beliefs, and actions.
- Effort-the conscious application of mental and physical resources toward an end. Effort goes to the heart of the work ethic.
The Purepost Knowledge Center focuses on Workplace Impact development for two reasons. First, research shows your workplace impact brings economic value to businesses by increasing their customer satisfaction and creating competitive advantage. Moreover, two subcomponents knowledge and skill are looked at as essential in driving creativity and innovation, which in turn drives organizational change and long-term growth. Second, studies find that workplace impact, specifically knowledge and skills, can be increased exponentially through education and training. Therefore, the aim of the Purepost Knowledge Center’s personal development series is to enhance your knowledge and skills to be a measurable value-added force.
The Knowledge Center offers a four-part personal development Series, each with several 30 to 40-minute online micro-training courses.
- Series I: Entering the Workforce
- Series II: Operating as a Productive Team Member
- Series III: Operating as a Productive Team Leader
- Series IV: Operating as a Productive Business Unit Leader
We invite you to take advantage of the website to research, learn, and confirm your knowledge and skills for an ever-changing work environment.
