Truly Top-Notch
SAAMAL is to create better managers and leaders within firms and around the globe. . Statistics have proven us that personnel get promoted on how good/ productive / fantastic they are within their work. However to promote a worker primarily based on his job abilities and knowledge is not proper adequate to turn out to be a manager .. One should be in a position to manage earlier before becoming a manager .. Example ... an accountant or an auditor is very right in his/her job and therefore his or her supervisor believes he /she can be a great manager .. which is no longer the case .. The man or woman ought to be-able to manage humans to get work achieved and if he/she does not now have the capabilities to manage he /she will end up doing her subordinates work for them as he/she lacks management skills. . An attorney turning into a manager or head of a department lacks administration competencies as management is not his location of expertise, or did not find out about management as such. . One of SAAMAL's desires is to up-skill these managers. Junior, middle and senior managers in their respective level of the corporations hierarchy, repute of authority.
As an Executive,Manager, HR practitioner or Organisational Developer, we can work together in creating the best management team and a happy workforce. Please consult with our devoted and highly qualified consultants to give you the best and most appropriate advice.
​
Joining a professional association is a win-win situation for students because while they are networking with professionals, they are being praised for taking the initiative to learn more about their field of interest. Members of professional associations are student-friendly and want to mentor incoming workers as they transition to the corporate world.
That opportunity exists when you join a professional association. Professional associations consist of groups of people from the same profession who gather together for networking events and to come up with standards for the profession.
​
Beyond networking opportunities and learning more about a career field, students can also benefit from these aspects of professional associations:
1. Internship and job opportunities.
Professional associations often have listservs where employees from companies looking to hire post open jobs or internships. Students may know what they want to do after graduation, but actually finding a job can be difficult. These listservs are a starting point and students can be confident that these are credible jobs.
2. Conferences.
Students can attend at a discounted rate and hear from keynote speakers in the industry. When students go for an interview, they can impress the employer by knowing all the trends in the field that they learned from the conference.
3. Industry standards.
Information will be available about continuing education opportunities and new certifications. Professional associations often distribute an e-newsletter that keeps students informed about new statistics and best practices in the field. Webinars can be offered on hot topics as well.
4. Codes of ethics.
If students haven’t already picked up that credibility and trustworthiness are essential as a practitioner in a field, they will do so after joining a
professional association. It’s vital to understand these codes in order to know what is considered best practice and what is accepted in the industry.
5. Updates on policies.
It’s amazing how much one piece of legislation can impact a profession. A section of the professional association is devoted to updating members about these changes. They also advocate for the profession and notify members about how to prepare for any change.
